Friend Bought a Boxter.
Cost a bomb.
Looked at it and looked at my C3.
C3 looks way better to me.
Soon as I get the 383 sorted - gonna take him for a spin.
He did say my C3 was more comfy to sit in.

I have done a fair bit of work on Boxsters and 997 porsches. Haven't driven them over 15KMH but getting into and out of them is a real chore.
Good thing most have the memory package to move the seat back.

Yep, I have checked out a couple of them and thought the same thing. For the $$, I'll take the C3 anytime against almost any of the newer hardware out there. My GF has a 2002 firebird, I almost just have to roll out onto the driveway to get out of it. I am 6'1 240#

Sixfooter - don't wanna be rude, but I am 6-2" and after 6 months of weights and not eating after 4 in the afternoon have got down to exactly 12 stones as we say - or 168 lbs as you say.........
Oh yes- coming up 52 this October.

The boxster is a girl's car! (my opinion) They are fun though. It is kind of like riding a moped or having sex with a fat chick. It's a blast till someone you knows sees you! My nieghbor sold his C5 last year and I saw him driving a new Boxster yesterday. I can not wait to give him hell. The funny thing is his wife drives a H3. Who wears the pants????????

I've always been a Porsche fan (even know how to pronounce it), and had a 944 a few years back. A Boxster is a cool little car, but definitely looks better on a chick than on a dude. A guy could maybe get away with driving a black one, but by and large, it's a chick car.
