And the Number One Reason Not to Own a Boxster
 

From the Boxster Board:

Hi Guys!
After looking long and hard at 911's & 986 i have to say (briefly) that the Boxster is alot more;
1/ Fun
2/ Cheaper
3/ And I just look so darn cute in it compared to the 911

Both great cars but if you don't need a 2 seater I'd go with the 986.

Vanessa

post a pic of this vanessa to really get this post. if shes all calente its fine.

I can see the head bob and hair flip from here.... Totally!!!

In high school, we used to call the VW Cabriolet the "Catholic High School Girls car."

I guess a Boxster is what they drive when they grow up.

And the number two reason is that there are some very weird people over there. Apparently Mark hasn't been completely honest with us:

I'm a 22 year old female with a sports car too! Look at me!

Well, I guess I should own up.



Just kidding. I was making fun of the idea of a 22 yo with a Boxster posting on these forums. C'mon, be real. Just be honest about being a lonely 45-year-old divorcee with nothing else to do besides get attention on forums by pretending to be young and female.

:rolleyes:

My bet is that it's a guy named "Bob" that wears comfortable shoes.....

I thought the #1 reason not to own one was because you couldn't tell it was a porsche until you got up close and then passed it. ;) just teasing...

And a tiptronic makes it so much easier to talk on the phone too! I just put my latte in the cupholder while I check my make up and make sure above all.....I look good.

Oh great. Now we'll have to await the seemingly inevitable, sniffling "why don't you love Boxsters??" posts...:)

For what its worth, I think Boxsters make everyone look a darn lot cuter, not just Vanessa.

They also make colors seem brighter, bring sunshine on a rainy day, and when its cold outside, they're better than the month of May. Rumor has it they also help prevent static cling.

Vanessa could be a whale too. It would take a bunch of Boxsters to work that mojo.

*Sigh* I give up. The trouble with you Boxster bashers is that you don't know a good thing when you see it. But don't give it rest now, dig harder and see what other needless swipes you can come up with.

The thing saved Porsche's financial ass. You'd all rather have no Cayene's, no 996's and no factory. Well, it's not gonna happen.

It's been suggested that Michael Jackson has a psychological problem with maturity. He may want to stay a child and not want to live in the current world as an adult.

Could it be..........? Come on, I have my flame suit on. You can bash me, I'm an un-repentant Boxster supporter and won't be subdued.

Zeke, you're really "Vanessa" aren't you? :D

You forgot to mention the unicorn sitings that go along with driving one...

I used my Boxster to jump start the 'Ragamuffin' this morning. Hehehehehehe...HAHAHAHA. Shoulda got a pic of that.

Ah, the joys of big throat MFI.........

I don't mind them myself. I'd rather have one than the 996 whale & their other 'product' that doesn't really bear thinking about. The only bad thing about the Boxster is that Porsche refuses to make a clubsport version. So they're preffered by yuppies & valley girls? Like the 930 was only driven by enthusiasts & shunned by cheeseball stock traders & glitter chicks in the '80s... not

I'll support Zeke here. I like Boxsters with hard tops and manual transmissions.

On the first point about Club Sport...couldn't a consumer buy a Boxster and then rip out whatever they dont like and have a psuedo CS version? Or is the Boxsters innards way too integrated?

On the second point...Bingo.

I'd be real surprised if a Boxster was as popular in twenty years as a 930 is today...

I love ALL Porsches.well maybe not 924s, although I owned one of those too.. But then to each his / her own.

Funny, didn't the Porsche 356 owners say similar things about the Porsche 911?
