That's ironic. One of the guys at work went and bought a Boxster
recently. He considers himself a Ladies Man, but he's sorta nerdy
(though he doesn't see it) and a nice guy, but he bought the car to be
more suave with the girls. He is very proud of it. I never really
talked with him too much until after he bought it. He was (mildly)
boasting about it with another cow-orker while I was in the room and the
other guy referenced my car. The Ladies Man then asked me what I drove.
I responded very nonchalantly, "Oh, me? A 911." Man, you should have
seen the wind go out of his sails.
BTW, I consider it impolite to boast and I almost never talk about my
car unless someone asks me about it, then you almost can't get me to
shut up. But then, I'll talk about _any_ ****sche. Either to teach or
learn.
I know lots of folks who drive Boxsters. I respect them and their cars
(though I _will_ joke about it upon occasion) and they are an integral
part of our club. The 986 handles superbly and appears to be a perfect
commuter car, too. I just like the lines of the 911 better, but then,
we've already talked about this.
I also really like the fact that you can spend about $12k(US) and get
one. Slap a number on it and you have a relatively cheap track car in
the making.
Keep searching and be patient. It took me nine months to find my car.
