<p>Also buying a Porsche means you can join the Porsche Club which has a host of events from all out track runs to weekend cruises to nice scenic spots. People from all walks seem to get along well.</p>

<p>I’d love to have one of my Miata autocrossing acquaintances take you for a ride in their “chick car.” I recommend you don’t eat just before going. The Miata is the most popular race car in the US for a reason.</p>
<p>^^ I know. I’ve read many reports on the Miata and it’s a very well done and fun to drive car. ‘Chick car’ doesn’t mean that it’s a bad car by any means and is only related to the looks/aesthetics of the car - like a VW Beetle with a built-in flower pot. :)</p>
<p>ive seen beetles with turbos that left mustang owners crying after a drag race. dont underestimate any car</p>
<p>love all the suggestions</p>
<p>I hear some guys jsut get the keychain and jacket to get the chicks</p>
<p>
I still remember seeing an old style Beetle with a Porshe engine squeezed in it beat a Corvette at a drag race. But it doesn’t really matter. As I said, it’s not about the car’s performance, quality, or other objective measures. Flower pot in car = chick car.</p>
<p>Besides having fun with the ‘chick car’ term (for which I haven’t received enough grief yet), my real point is that one can’t really compare a Boxster to a Beetle to a Honda SUV to a Lexus sedan. They’re all quite different cars for different purposes. Some people just can’t comprehend why a person would want a 2 seater sports car, or an SUV, or a Lexus, or a Prius, etc. if it’s not what they themselves find interest in. There’s a good reason why there are so many different shapes, sizes, styles, and performance levels available to us. This is why I say let him pick his car - the one he has a desire for even if you fail to see why he’d want it, find it ‘impractical’, etc. </p>
<p>If he wants it, if it won’t break the bank, etc., then I say go for it.</p>
<p>Damn, you guys are loaded.</p>
