Ok Larry, you can afford Hagann Daaz.  Personally, I'd take Funky Monkey any
day over that foo-foo stuff.

Anyway, Larry, what kind of car do you own and drive?

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.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

...what are your guys' takes on the Boxster being referred to as:

"the baby porsche"

"not a true porsche"

"the poor man's porsche"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

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.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

:>BMW's are sedans first and foremost - than whatever sportscar there is left
:>in it.

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?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Learn how to spell---There is no such brand as "Dreyers"---and who gives a
fiddler's f.ck about a Porsche. Why don't you move to Germany--a.shole.

Yes there is Dreyers and Breyers (or similar spelling for each).   I
used to eat and love Breyers in NY and lately I'm eating Dreyers in
Texas.   Sorry for getting away from cars but since you wrongly
accused someone I thought I'd set the record straight.

Actually, he's right.  That's not an apostophe between the 'r' and 's.'
It's really a small stick figure.  Also, more correctly, the word
"Grand" is in the brand name.   Good stuff !!

I only remember the 911 from the 60s -- could be tricky to drive.  The old
356 (I think it was)  before then was a great car and bulletproof.
