I'm 6'1". I could probably wear a hat in my 928, but that Boxster didn't fit me at all. Those things sound weird too- kind of a high, metallic ringing sound.

N!

Thank you! I regularly borrow my dad's miata; though I must admit to disallowing other men to ride with me (interestingly it has gotten me more female interest than the 928). It's a completely different driving experience to the 928 and I think in stock form it complements it perfectly.

Nicole, why the 84? I understand the other MY 928 in your list but what is special/unique about the 84?

As for the Boxster, I would prefer to wait for the Cayman S, more HP/Torque I believe...lets not forget nicer lines.

Me too ... I ride my daughter's Barbie bike regularly, and it has purple tassles. Real men show their feminine side frequently.

N!
Go for a smallish hat. At a gargantuan 5'7, mine doesn't fit.
