I've always wanted a 911. Since I was 10 or so. The Boxster is a fine automobile--but, it's not a 911.

I would actually like to have a new generation Boxster. I like the look more than previous iterations and it would be a blast to drive.

But, it's not a 911...

In case anyone else was wondering also:

douche nozzle

1) The underappreciated apparatus of the Douche that actually does the stinky work. Attached to the Douche Bag.
2) A male who acts and looks like an utter jackass. Someone who transcends common insults to the point that simply calling him a "jackass" or "douchebag" will no longer do. Much more offensive than simply calling someone a douchebag.

1) "Check out the cell phone clip on that Douche Nozzle".
2) "Can you believe that Douche Nozzle? He's walking around the party, talking to fat chicks and searching for an 'Insert Here' sign".
3) Oliver from Spring Break.

I reread this entire thread and there was not a single mention of "Lipstick Holders", "Makeup Mirrors" or "Non-Functioning Turn Signals".

Well done Gents!

I've always sorta questioned the wisdom of Porsche offering this OEM color scheme:

MBA Sailor, Your story reminds me of a kid I knew in high school in Andover, Mass. He started to work with a friend whose father owned Wilmington Ford cleaning (spiffing) the cars in the lot. After graduation from HS he went to Emmerson College in Boston and got a job cleaning cars at Gastron Andrey Motorsports except now he was working on Itailian supercars and British luxury cars.
Flash forward forty five years and his name is synonymous with being America's best known Porsche collector, Jay Leno.

I saw Jay Leno at a comedy club in Los Angeles before he was famous. A pretty good performance. I thought Jerry Seinfeld was "America's best known Porsche collector."

I saw Richard Karn ("Al" from Home Improvement) at a hotel in Seattle. He was making the most of his "celebrity."

This was at the height of his career, when he was on Home Improvement AND pimping "Little Giant" ladders.

Last year, my cat fell off of the roof. Had to have his jaw wired shut for two months, and had to feed him through a tube from his neck into his intestines.
