mount some bull horns on the front, problem solved.

 

Heres our 2002 986. My son and I have been working on a project 986 (which will be his when he turns 16) and we have never had any comments other than "nice ride" or "that looks mean!".




If someone is giving you crap about what you drive, ignore them...they aren't worth the time.

Yes...a manly girly car..LOL. I guess I'm close to having one of those!!

But really..many of us have owned both. I've owned a TT and the Boxster S. The Boxster S just always felt better and was a more confident driver. That was before the 3.8L upgrade.

I agree that as a daily driver, you will have a lot of fun without all the attention that keeps those who own exotics from driving and enjoying their cars daily. Get an early, low mileage Boxster S and a 355. You'll have fun in both worlds.

Hey Mark, just curious what spoiler you used on that car? Got any links?

Your car looks awesome btw, what body kit is that?

IMO , the only people that say those kinds of comments are people that are very envious or Jealous that they see how much fun and enjoyment you are having so its their way af making themselves feel more secure about themselves .
I have found that no matter where you are or who you know there will always be a few Joy killers .
DO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPY OR YOU LIVE A LIFE OF REGRET .

all I can say is everytime I drive my P-car I feel like I won the lottery
I own a Cayman so maybe its a little different then the Boxster but
"People Say Whatever Suits Them"
Real friends will support you ,the rest can **** off IMO .
Just my 2 Cents

 

Thanks Nick! The body kit and spoiler are Porsche Factory Aero Kit II. I believe that there are some aftermarket copies out there as well.

Cheers

Where are you looking? Have you used anybody for PPI yet?

 

Hey... a 911 cab....???!!! Now THAT could be gay....

unless you have 3 women in the car with you!!! I am thinking of an all black 911 cab I saw about 2 months ago. Yea, 3 women in it and the one in the back with her arm languidly draped over the back looking quite like an ad for..something.

Like you say. The CHASE is half the fun... BUT the other half is getting a good car and really enjoying it.

Last week I picked my wife up at the airport. Her with 3 large bags and I showed up with her Boxster. Lots of people looking like I am gonna put all THOSE in....THAT!?? Swallowed them right up front and back and we were off. [truth time- I wasn't entirely sure but ready to unzip her large soft bag and redistribute whatever it took. Brought a couple of large plastic bags just in case. Not needed. PLUS we got to scoot along in the commute lane. Man, a Boxster allows that right here on I-80 where Berkeley mandated that they would only allow the freeway expansion past their 'berg if they mandated 3 or more in the commuter lanes..except that a 2 seater is FULL and IN the lane. Passing all the greenie wanna-bes in their Prius' that can no longer indulge as solo drivers. Sooooo sweet.

Weird... Noone's ever called my Bixby a girl's car. But I wouldn't find it offensive.

 

[QUOTE=MR2FAST;3393799]a car is as gay as as the person driving it
put chuck norris in any car and no one will call it gay.

What? Chuck is straight?

 

Wonderful, wonderful post.

 

I usually get, "what kind of car is that?" and back in the days, "is that a supra?" Hahahaha. That was about it.

Here is mine.

 

i thought this issued was settled in season 2, episode 22 of Two and a Half Men..

ALAN:
It is not a chick car! The salesman showed me brochures with pictures of men driving it.
CHARLIE:
Alan, if a monkey walked into the dealership, he'd have been shown pictures of monkeys driving it.
ALAN:
Monkeys can't drive a stick.

its ur car.. get what u want.

 

The only thing 'gay' I see here is caring what others say about your ride. ''Not that there's anything wrong with that.''

I have a 2001 Boxster and while I have never gotten a gay comment, my boyfriend has.... no, just kidding. But really, even if I did get that kind of comment, it's either coming from some dipsh*t in a non-great car (jealous) or an a$$hat in a sports car/exotic (elitist snob)... either way, F#*k 'em both.

Then I would go home, wipe away the tears and drive by in the above pictured V10.

I hope you get it and enjoy the hell out of it.

 

Get the Boxster. It is a gorgeous car. I don't really care for the verts which is why I have a Cayman, but stop caring what others think! I used to own a Honda S2000 CR and I got a lot of "girly car" comments, but it did not ruin the ownership experience for me.

People can call the boxster a chick car or a gay car
People can say the GTR is just a nissan

Who the **** cares. If you like it, that's all that matters. I feel like an old man saying this, but as you get older, you care less about what others think of you
