Would you drive a Speed Yellow Boxster?

Found a really good deal on a 2005 but my son and buddies are already giving me grief about the color and it being a Boxster. I don't really care, but is there really that much stigma attached to a Boxster? Heck, it ain't a Miata....haha

I wouldn't drive a yellow car but I like to drive "under" the radar, so to speak.

That being said, if it's a good deal so what? Give the naysayers a SnG ride and they will be quiet.

No. However, there are a few cars I'd be willing to spin in yellow, but a Boxster is not one of them. Here in Raleigh, there was once a stunning "paint to sample" Ferrari Fly Yellow 993 2S, which was to die for. Also like the Land Rover Defender 90 in Yellow (not my first color choice though), and of course my all time fave Ferrari 250 GT SWB looks killer in yellow.

I would drive a speed yellow Boxster or yellow Miata. Heck yes. I would draw the line at pink though. The brighter the colour the easier it is to be noticed.

I like yellow cars. Go for it. If they call it a girls car, take them out on the track and make them sick. That'll shut them up!

There are 7 million Arctic Silver, Seal Grey, & Polar White Boxsters in LA. Go for the Speed Yellow!

Used to race one. My '99 turned spec-racer was yellow.

You can rub it in their faces when they ask to drive it after you buy it.

After you test drove it and walked away, did you look back? Car pictured looks really good, so yes. But I'm biased, Signal Yellow is in my top 3 911 colors.

I say go for it. Of course, I like the unusual.

If they want you to have a different color, they are welcome to buy you one of their choosing. Otherwise, they should buckle up and enjoy the ride from the passenger seat.

How old is your son? Take him for a ride in the car, a good one. I think he'll change his tune.

Tell your buddies that only guys with huge dicks can drive bright yellow boxsters which is why you can understand why they wouldn't want to drive them.

I would have liked a yellow Boxster or Cayman, but found a great car in GT Silver. Also, the way I drive, bright red and bright yellow seem foolish.

My wife said she would leave me if I ever bought a yellow car (not a big fan of it anyway).

Sure I'd drive it, hell I drive a basic silver boxster and the jokes just roll off my back, hell I usually throw them out first, then remind them that jealousy is the worlds most powerful emotion. Who gives a crap what you drive other then you
