hi

for $25K -/+

what's a better buy, your personal opinion and for the real world:
a Boxster (2000-02 years)...or an earlier 911 Carrera (1990-92)?

the car will be an automatic transmission, daily driver.

I like the classic look of the 911, but I'm not a mechanic-type to get
his hands dirty...so needless to say, It has to be reliable.

thanks DS for the info
but I didn't buy it, the yellow boxster s.

i think i'm going to hold out for a 911 - when the right one comes
along, color/price/tip/miles/etc

that boxster was nice, good price, fitted my criteria...but there's
something magical about saying i own/drive a porsche 911, or a 911
porsche.

what about Corvettes, in particular, early 90's models...do they drive
equally as sporty as Porsche's right? and not sedany like BMW's?

Yo, dork, check the group name, then check out. You're still apparently
STILL in denial over the fact that you got screwed, and the seller
didn't even kiss you first.

Funny thing about that White collar, blue collar stuff. Notice how those
blue collar guy buys a car to satisfy himself, while the white collar
guy buys a car to try and impress his "buddies"? So you got a flat six
with a turbo, Chevy quit making them 40 years ago. Seems like porsche
really has the suckers lined up. Heck they are making a killing selling
volkswagen trucks to the wannabes. And yep, corvettes are the oil to the
porche's water, no real reason to put up with a porsche if you can get a
real sportscar.

What a spin, makes coming into a Corvette group and pushing the
Porsche, 'I like that term, "pushing the Porsche"', sound like
Corvette owners are at fault for being rude to a jerk.......

Ah yes, Häagen-Dazs, another fine American product used to bolster up
the image of an overrated car. Häagen-Dazs has a vanilla so you can
have a bland flavor for your car comparison. What would the car you
drive be compared to, bean soup?

""What a spin, makes coming into a Corvette group and pushing the

lol, relax.
i'm not saying it subjectively, just telling it like it is - objectively

there's 3 kinds of sportscars: corvette, porsche, ferrari

lovers of each all have their own arguments for it.
who's ultimatley to say who's right? no one

Very good statement, and true...

I have had a Porsche and would rather have my Vette...
But would give up all including my left one to have a 1998 McLaren F1...
