i'd agree - that's right, if you own a ****sche - any model for that matter,
you shouldn't openly talk about it, at least in a boastful manner (unless
you want to build enemies)
the masses despise people who own a ****sche;
it's just like saying i own/wear a rolex...
i have a mba, jd, and/or phd from an ivy league.
i run multiple businesses.
i own a beach, vacation home.
i have a maid.
i have a swiss bank.
i have a country club member****p.
etc., etc.
saying you own/drive a ****sche automatically brings up this smug, superior
image of a person.
lol - you 'took the wind out of his sails' to the boxster owner.
not a surprise.
because since the boxster is the entry level ****sche...people who buy it
say
'they own/drive a ****SCHE', lol - they kind of keep quiet the boxster part
unless someone asks.
kind of like buying the cheapest apartment possible in the outskirts of
beverly hills, and telling people you live in...ahhhh, beverllly hillllls.
(technically you do, but you don't don't)
