The comment itself speaks loudly enough. For some reason I think some of the perceived snobbery has its origins in the fact that (clearing throat here) "purists" prefer coupes. Convertibles are just trash. In general. One pretty cool fact is that the Boxster is designed as an open air vehicle. As many of the originial racing Porsches were.
I own an 01 Boxster S. I wanted a Porsche. I wanted a roadster (2 seater) and I wanted it opened aired. Now I can't afford to a 550 spyder, or a 718 RS 60. Or a Carrera GT for that matter. No, the only vehicle that Porsche makes nowadays that fits that criteria is the Boxster. I'm not takin shots here. Just offering my opinion, as others most plainly have. I'm curious if the Corvette is considered a chick car ? I don't live in Texas. I think I've seen 1, as in A as in singlular woman ever driving a Boxster. But what does that really matter ? I've seen HUNDREDS of women driving corvettes over the years. Pretty bad-assed cars (some of them) but I'm not into them. Wouldn't own one. Just don't have an interest. My bias is American cars  |
OK, I just can't resist. What this says is that even though said person does not care what others think about his/her choice in car, he/she thinks so little of the Boxster that he/she will not get in one! I hope that helps!
