It's a neat kit-kar, but 30k? there's probably a thousand cars on my list i'd spend that much on first.

Also, don't make the mistake of thinking exotic brand car owners care about drag racing their cars.. Wrong species of car for that purpose. Exotics are much more about handling, road racing and driver finesse than flat out drags. So you can put a huge engine in an old car and make it go fast, whoop dee doo, people have been doing that since the 40's.

If what you're really here for is to start crap with the 'my fiero is faster than your boxsters' good for you.. however much you pour into your fieros and how fast you make them it's still a fiero.

I came here to trade or sell another midengine car for midengine car. I don't need to sell the Fiero's but don't really need 4 of them and a Boxster. I didn't come here to get trashed like this. I expected people here to be just a little more classy then the Fiero crowd. Seems like the same crap just another forum.
NO ONE HAD TO REPLY IF YOU DIDN'T LIKE WHAT I HAD TO TRADE OR SELL. I DIDN'T EXPECT ALL THE HEAT FOR POSTING MY CARS. IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DON'T SAY IT AT ALL. THANKS TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAD NICE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT ALL MY HARD WORK. I LOOK FORWARD TO BECOMING A BOXSTER OWNER. .

Wow... I just read through the entire thread again, and until your first threatening and aggressive post (#8), the closest things you had gotten to criticism were a couple skeptical and/or curious people (including myself) asking questions about your cars. I guess if you were extra-sensitive about your cars, you could have interpreted them negatively, maybe, but no one attacked you until you started attacking the forum and the Boxster. I think you'll find this group to be quite a congenial group of people, as long as you reciprocate, but like anyone else in the world, Boxster owners don't like being insulted or talked down to.

Good luck in selling your Fiero(s) and buying a Boxster! I hope it works out, and I think you'll love your Boxster!

I concur with YellowJacket. Your pics looked good to me at first, but now I am completely turned off.

I also have to agree with YellowJacket.

Good luck with finding a Boxster. As always, we're more than happy to pitch in with opinions on what's a good price for a given year and what issues to look for.
