I think I struck a nerve. I never said that the boxter is not a fine car., just that in my experience a lot of the folks who drive them it is their first porsche and there is little brand loyality, or appreciation for the mystique. I just like old tubs. ANd again just from my experience it is like, wow if I buy this car I will be cool. Maybe maybe not . I know a little of whense I speak having owned Porsches for 30 years---from speedsters to 914s. THere just is no allure to a boxter for me. and I guess I am ticked that the drivers look at me as if to feel sorry for me cause I can;t afford a newer vehicle. HA! That is especially true when I visit the silicon valley where the late model cars---993 and 996? are in abundance. Poor old guy. His ex must have taken him to the cleaners or he lost it all when the dot com bubble burst and has to drive a 32 yr old car. : - ) Jeeze lighten up.
