OT: Other cars...anyone driven these?

[lord_verminaard at yahoo.com (Brendan Doyle)]

I'd be careful about the Boxter- I've heard bad things about them and the
snotty Porsche owners look down upon Boxter owners.  Of course, what else
is new with that crowd... ;)  Dont know about the S models, but I blew a
"base" model away with my old Chevy Beretta GT.  The guy tried at three
different stop lights and on an on-ramp to get around me and for some
reason couldnt do it.  :P  He was all suit-and-tie with the top down and
man o man was he pissed at me!

I say go for the Miata.  Cheap and easy to maintain, lots (LOTS) of
aftermarket for it, and you can not feel bad about beating the snot out of
it.
