So he is saying his Boxster experience is driving a '98 911? Hmmm.

I think he was saying that as a 911 owner he too believed Boxster owners didn't belong.




I don't know why it offends me. Coming here and feeling all the pure love for driving is what makes me love it here. It seems like this poster and some people on that site are just fanboys.


No fanboys here. Just people who love driving.

You know, people like that tend to get under my skin. How dare they condescend the Boxster and Boxster owners. It's not only beautiful, but it's such a well balanced car. Other peoples' ignorance tends to annoy me.

Then I slide into the driver's seat of my Box, plug in my iPod, and the annoyance (is that a word?) goes away.

Screw the haters, lol, whether they are 350Z drivers, 911 drivers, or Saturn Sky drivers.

Annoyance is a word


Unfortunately my Box is still stuck in the ice lol.


I swear to god I'm getting it out today even if I have to push it!!!!!!

[SC986]

On the flip side in our defense to the Z owner.....

I wanted to leave the SUV modding thing and get back to a sports car. It came down to a 350Z and the Boxster. When I made the decision a friend said I think you are making the right choice. Years down the road the Porsche will be more desireable and valuable with alot of age than a Nissan.

Bravarian made a good point. I want to come to a forum where people love the cars and talking about them. That is one aspect of the SUV that I enjoyed the most. Everyone had fun and alot became friends. I don't have much to offer since I don't know alot about the car yet, but I still come here evryday and read.

Good, I learned a new word today.

Good luck getting your Box out today. You guys should have snow flurries today in the City. I finally got my car out and drove it to work this morning. I only spun the tires once on the cold pavement... but at least the roads are clear and dry.

[Soetekouw]

I'm with Schnell. I bought the car for me and I really don't care what anybody else thinks. I didn't buy it to impess people with. That is why they have chocolate and vanilla. You have a choice.

People have opinions, right or wrong. The issue I find with most things of this nature, is the lack of tact that so many in the online community illustrate. I find it particularly more amusing when I see things written in horrible grammer and spelling akin to a 12 year old. I just have to laugh when I see things written like "yo man u got to get a 350Z, there da bomb. I'll never buy a boxster, themz girls cars."

Granted, a good percentage of them are under 25, and most, by a good margin at that. I run into this kind of thing on the few occasions when I meet the local car group for dinner or something of the sort, which is largely comprised of 16-25 year olds driving modified neons and evos and the like. Either people think the Boxster is cool, or its 'yo man, why yo got a girl's car?" Personally, I could care less. What I find extremely satisfying, however, is when I am parked near a modified Evo or something like that like, is how all the guys will flock to that, while all the girls flock to the Boxster, and the look on the face of the Evo owner is priceless enough.

Just enjoy what you drive, some will like it, some won't. At the end of the day, how much do you really care?

HAHA.


Too bad I can't get any girls

I can't believe this thread is still going!

[thomschoon]

I was once a hater, I thought of Boxsters as a chick or gray hair car as that was usually who I saw driving them, then I needed a daily driver, went to buy a 350Z and ended up with my Boxster S. It is a great car, much more comfortable then my 911 and has AC that works. I am now thinking of selling my 911 to buy a project Boxster.

In the end it is your choice, owning a Porsche is not a calling, it is just a car. If you go to the Porsche factory they are lined up just like at the Toyota factory, only more expensive.

Human beings are fascinating.

We love to belong, be the same, and be different.

Let the good times roll.

PS-Its just a car!

[Ken Corsun]

Why do you care what this person said? Is he/she some sort of authority? I really don't think it is worth the energy or bandwith to respond.

[Marc Gelefsky]

Why should you feel you have to justify anything to anybody...

[FrayAdjacent]

I'd say the age has a lot to play into it. Younger guys feel the need to 'beat their chests' a bit more than some of us.

Saw it a bit more on my previous car's forums. Most people who owned a Hyundai Tiburon were younger. When I bought my 911 as a project car, the difference between the Tiburon and Porsche forums was night and day. Not saying there weren't any decent people on the Tiburon forums, because there absolutely were... but there was a fair share of ignoramuses.


And if someone said something to me like that a$$tard quoted from the Nissan forums, I'd just laugh, because I know I have a nice car, and I know what it's capable of.

It is not the material matter at hand so much as it is the principle matter.


This same type of ignorance is what causes half of the sociological problems in the world.


Ok, this is just a car, but what is that person going to do in other situations? Say, given the opportunity to vote.

What about racism? All racism is essentially is generalizations and stereotypes w/ little to no fact behind the reasoning; SAME thing that this guy is doing.




I don't feel I have to justify myself. I hardly responded to the guy even. But the mentality itself is bothersome.

Absolutely right.

And if anyone doesn't think so, ask yourself what would happen if you gave this kid a choice to go on a cruise w/ old classics, SUVs or Boxsters.


The kid will naturally be inclined to go to the Boxsters because he relates to us. But we are so different...?

[Franco]

Hi Bavarian Motorist, I think you are a very sensitive and resealable person, so there's something about your avatar that just bugs me to much, it's a parking lot photo and doesn't do justice to your nice car. If it was a 350Z i could understand but come on guy it's a PORSCHA .

[Bavarian Motorist]

Hah. You're right.


I'll take pics today so my car can really shine like it is supposed to



BTW: My dad managed to get my car out of the ice.

I guess I don't get your point. Virtually all of us have opinions and positions on virtually everything. That is a fact. What are you suggesting we do about it?

If someone expresses an opinon to me that I consider to be ill founded, I have largely given up trying to change their point of view. It rarely works and it is rarely worth the effort. Just consider the source and move on.

Don't try to teach a pig to fly, it simply angers the pig and wastes your time.

[djomlas]

but then again look at this forum, we re all bunch of blonde hair dressers, so the guy was right....correct?
