Boxster – “It’s the Trendy thing to do” This person knows little about cars and less about Porsches. A frequent denizen of the shop to troubleshoot a strange electrical/headlight problem: “Other cars that kind of look like mine flash their lights at me; I’m positive my lights were turned off, does this car have daytime running lights?” Is vaguely aware that Porsche actually made cars before 1997, but could not identify them by sight. Bemoans the lack of a cupholder, as it is really hard to shift while holding that grande double decaf mocha latte from Starbucks.

996 – “I shoulda kept my SC!” Bought by 911 owners who missed out on the 993 because they were too busy modifying their 1979 to look like an 93 964 turbo. Feels totally lost when looking at the engine, as there is little there that is immediately recognizable “Where’s the fan damnit!” Very disconcerted at the presence of a **gasp** coolant tank, privately worries that the guys at the PCA meeting will tease him about it. In a desperate effort to return to familiar sights/smells, intentionally spills oil on hot exhaust. Debates the pros/cons of removing the current air vent and putting a whale tail on it.

Cayenne – "What the hell were they thinking?!" Every SUV needs a 4.5 liter twin turbo engine and cupholders for Juniors Hi-C juice-box in the back seat. Looks like what you would get if a 911 mated with a Hyundai Santa Fe. Expected to be one of the best designed Porsches ever, since they obviously moved the engineers that USED to work on the LeMans cars to the project. This is the one area where airhead and wethead can generally agree:
“It ain’t a Porsche….”
