MMD, you need a vacation, bro....
Check out St. Barth's in the Carribean, it's near paradise on earth.
To have a 997 Turbo Cab or 997 C4S Cab with factory hardtop for year-round romps would be the ultimate! I'm feeling a slippery slope under my feet tilting in that direction.

Pont 1 - F everybody else. I'm so tired of hearing that crap here, really am. Some of you people it's amazing you don't walk around with survey cards and permission slips asking for everyone's approval before taking a chit ! Damn.People are too busy thinking about themselves to be worrying about if you're driving a Porsche coupe or convertible and who you're with. ?? . I can't imagine someone spending time judging me. And if they do and judge me poorly, then F em. Who cares.
We used to live in Wellesley, MA. If you want to "live" there you DO start caring. You naturally want to conform and not stick out; do your networking with all the nice people. If you want to be a rebel, that's fine, in sixty seconds you're labelled a rebel: game over. Sad but true.
MMD,
The problem with Wellesley is it's in the Peoples' Republic of Massachusetts, which means to "fit in," you might as well ride a bike.So listen to Stradale and stop fretting about what others think about your car.

I guess another downside of owning a cab is having to defend yourself against offensive comments from a few 911 coupe and Boxster owners.

MMD is correct in that lots of cities/office cultures have a socialist/country club element to them to varying degrees (socialist/country club jealousy coefficient prob is directly correlated w/concentration of Harv/Stanf/Prince/Wharton grads)....even in allegedly jaded, materialistic places like Greenwich/SF/LA....just try routinely commuting via 430/612/65, esp on a rainy day, and see how many wealthy eyebrows are raised....smart guys simply "price in" the risks/costs of driving what they want and make their choices.....

This cracked me up. If you get a cab, put top up when you park for more than a minute. About 10 years ago I had a Saab convertible that I loved (slow as molasses, but I still loved it). Anyways, I always put the top up when parked, one night almost didn't while at a friend's house, but thought better of it and did. When I came out, sprinkler was broken and was flooding all over my car. If the top had been down, the interior would have been a wreck.
but unfortunately they act like squads of F16's on bombing missions as they jettison excrement (whose shades of brown and white "clash" with the black top ) all over the top. Thanks to Stradale, I have learnt how to counteract the contamination with the car soft top cleaner, du jour.

At my office, across from a duck pond, I ALWAYS keep my 996TSCab parked with the top up, because the mallards that frequent the pond seem to love oogling over my car,

Urhhhh.........wrong 26 to 6 say otherwise.
Who would have a Boxster over a 997 Cab?
Users may choose only one (32 total votes)
Yes a Boxster for me
6 19%
997 Cab
26 81%
After all this IS the 997 Board, you might get a different viewpoint on the Boxster Board. Could be we Boxster owners are just jealous of course. But not this one. I'd be envious of a 997 S coupe, however.
