I was barely 30 years old and was proud to own it. It was a ton of fun and a sharp looking car. Unfortunately by 2006 I saw them on the roads everywhere. The prices had plunged to the point that punks in their mid 20's were driving them on a regular basis. I always dreamed of the 911 since I was a little boy (remember that ad where the 10 yr old kid goes into the Porsche dealership and tells the salesman he'll be back in 20 years after seeing the new 911? Google it if u haven't ...it's awesome!) The final straw came when I saw a 200 pound 50 year old lady who parks in my office building ramp buy one. It took all of the cache away (no offense to larger women).
I then bought a 996 911 Cab and love it. Of course, then I got the Turbo itch and bought a 993 Turbo as well. Love em both. My point here (which is certainly not to offend the groups mentioned....sorry) is that it is a fun car but to say that it doesn't matter what car u drive in today's society is crazy. To buy more car than u can afford is even more crazy, though. If u have the means go with the 911. If not go w/ the Boxster. Both are great cars and beat the heck out of almost everything else for the $$$$'s spent.
