The 997 coupe looks gorgeous, if you want to have a gorgeous looking cab get the Boxster instead of the humpback whale

It's very sad but I agree as well.
When I switch from the Boxster S to the 996 cab, my old man (who's not a cab fan) told me:
And that's supposed to be the better model? It's not as cohesive as your first porsche! What's with the fat back and those fake rear seats?
Ultimately I didn't care, it was faster, sounded better and had the Carrera name on its back, but it never looked as good, true.
It's very subjective though.

In France, when you drive down the road in a cab sports car, you're seen as a bit of a hair dresser, it's irrevelant, but don't make it worse by having your arm dangling down with you gold rolex on it!

What a hell is wrong with being a hairdresser... I love being a hairdresser for 25 years,the more while it made it possible to me to buy the car i'm in love with since childhood...(965,993T,996cab,997Scab).And no, i'm not having an arm with rolex dangling out of my sidewindow, and yes, I do adore the sound of the flat6 revving above 5500rpm roaring along our countryroads.
And above this: I love the 997,allowing me to close the roof while driving , so when we approach our village we can close the top, so no one has to think there's a rolex for sale, dangling out of the window...
Yes , there are hairdressers appreciating porsches for what they stand for... otherwise they wouldn't read this forum every day...

Nothing wrong with Hairdressers at all, my partner is a hairdresser and I totally respect the profession, I was referring to it as a generic comment, sadly, as you are aware, it's about the image of hairdresser.
Hope you see what I mean, like when people say, the Z3 was a hairdresser's car, or the Mini is a woman's car. Not harm intended.
I share your thoughts on cabs Beltar, I've owned two for the passed 5 years, the pleasure they give is immense, but they also suffer from an image problem, as both you and I actually close our top when we get closer to our neighbourhood!
