    Boxster owners, hold your head high!

    There an awesome review of the new 3.4 Boxster at TTAC:
    TTAC Boxster Article
    Make sure you read the comment thread at the bottom, or at least the last few entries. Pretty heady praise for the "Porsche with panties".

    Hey there,

    there is an extra http// before the www on your link. Athough easy enough to find.

    Fantastic article, thanks. Without giving too much away here are my two favourite quotes;

    "if you like sex and violins, the Boxster S is your car."

    "Now more than ever, the higher horsed Boxster S is a more entertaining machine than the 911" debateable of course

    Nice one Adrift, thanks for the link.

    Link corrected. Thanks for the heads up. If you liked that article, try this one on the base boxster. It is extremely entertaining to read.

    Great find, thanks for posting the link.
    My favourites:

    "Porsche's roadster is, finally, quick enough to scare you. Until it doesn't. Which is even scarier. Until it isn't."
    Pure Porsche dialectics


    "Oh, and for the record, it's still not enough. I've driven a 400hp Cayman. In any language, that car is the very definition of horsing around. Boxster brokers: you've broken the barrier. Now bring it on."
    I want my 988 with 400 hp

    I didn't know that Porsche upgraded the brakes also
    "..the four-piston aluminum monobloc anchors (with new vacuum brake boosters) provide infinitely variable, endlessly reliable retardation."

    C'mon you lucky 3.4 owners - tell us poor 3.2 pilots what other "secret" upgrades your Boxey came with

    You should have warned us, that it's adult entertainment

    "From the rear though, and especially with the beefier haunches, the Boxster still appears as if someone is bent over and spreading 'em. If you think this is a coincidence, you haven't watched enough German porn."

    "To put it bluntly, the Boxster's a blowjob with wheels."

    This guy really must have fallen in love with the Boxster

    That article is hilarious to read. He has "colorful phrases" by the dozens. I loved it.

    I like the one on the carrera from the same site:

    The Porsche 911 is known as the "everyday supercar"- which is a bit like saying "my wife the supermodel".

    The new 3.4 boxster is a blast...

    Another pearler,

    "Clocking the new Boxster is like checking out the teenage daughter of your old high school crush.....fresher, perkier and more... streamlined"

    Fantastically written article for a fantastic car...

    I love it!! Both articles were very enjoyable.

    "A blowjob with wheels" - I've never quite thought of it that way!

    Thanks for the links

    I dont think Boxster owners ever had to feel bad about their cars. A Porsche is a porsche IMO

    Ah! I think you've hit the nail on the head. A 911 is a Porsche and a Boxster is a porsche. So some like to believe, anyway.
