is this what idiots think of us?

I bought the car because I loved the styling and frankly a convertible 911 doesn't look as nice IMHO and for what people have to say about me, my car or whatever
the **************** i own doesn't bother me at all. I'm the one who worked for it all so I'll do as I please. Now i must try to figure out how to fix my IE browser from being redirected every time i type an address

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!

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!

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

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...?

[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.

Im depressed "da idiot's" vote counts as much as mine.

[dmcutter]

I've gotten nothing but positive comments about mine. My rich car collector buddy with 60 some vintage muscle cars and a couple of Bentleys had one in '99 and loved it, even with only 200 horses. He raves about how nice mine is. But then again, he knows cars...
