Well, #'s 1-5 I don't have too much trouble with. #6 is a bit too far.

Bob,

Excuse me for topic-straying, but do you have Swedish ancestry by any chance? There is a rather famous medical doctor in Stockholm named Hildebrand. Knows a lot about intestinal diseases.

Now there is a long shot !

I'm ok with all but #2. I'm no big fan of the police, but I sure as hell appreciate the job they do.

Everyone hates cops and lawyers....until they need one.

If I were the po-po, I'd pull them over for obstructing their view by putting that crap on their windstop.

As they say-None that I am aware of.

Seems everyone knows a Hildebrand. I guess there's more of us than I thought.

That person has way too much anger inside. I feel pity for them. Oh, BTW, I know its popular to hate police but back in the 60's they used to say something along the lines of "If you don't like Police, then call a hippie if you are robbed". Sure there are some bad ones...just like there are bad Pelicans.

Hopefully hes gets rear-ended by a large American made SUV. Then when the cops pull up, the SUV driver can point out the sign in the piece of *****'s back window.

Oh yeah, and I hope the cops Jewish.....

If that isn't an invitation for a good keying, I don't know what is.

Burn American Flags? What the F are they doing living here? They need to get their ungrateful ass over to Iran where I'm sure they'd fit in fine. Maybe they could earn enough money to buy one of their locally-built 1970s style Fiats...Boxsters are bought with capitalistic slave money!

I think these are just california yuppies who smoke a little too much weed and listen to a little too much NPR.

Why don't we put that Boxster S up against your long nose at the track, and see if you would care to revise your statement.....

Have you ever driven one?

WTH are the "po-po"? That's my son's reference for a certain scatalogical by-product.


Mileage Comparison:

2005 Boxter S - 16 Cty 24 Hwy
2005 Jeep GC 4WD 6cyl - 15 19
2005 Ford Expedition 6cyl - 12 16
2005 Volvo XC90 6cyl - 16 20


Hmmm.....

I can see the keyed words now on the rear deck lid " F@@@ this sign " with a large arrow keyed in pointing at the rear window ...

lol this guy is really asking for problems, if he pulled up to a tonk here his car would not be the same when he left , course this is So. GA.

Guy is nut. I am always fearful of getting keyed, and I agree he is a perfect candidate. It would not take much...

But he is right about the big SUVs (just kidding).

Can't get in one...34" inseam here. Not just the Boxster. When Porsche went to AWD, legroom was reduced. As long as we're into fast...why don't we put that Boxster S up against a Z-06 'Vette?

BTW, have you driven a well set-up 2.4 911S?

Both are in the same price range...
