what's wrong with Michael Dell? Can't afford a real Porsche so he has to go for the entry level Boxster?

just kidding, I guess Boxsters owners can say "it's good enough for MDell, it's good enough for me".

If they aren't car people they just don't care, whether you are wealthy or not. I took a cruise up to La Jolla yesterday to look at some property surrounded by multi-million dollar houses. Just out of curiosity I started to pay attention to the nice rides in the drive ways of these houses. Saw a bunch of Mercedes S classes, Lexus 430's, some nice sports cars of all makes, but for every one nice car, there were 10 beaters. I don't mean beaters as we know them, but 10 year old ES300's, old ass Infiniti's, two generation ago C classes. All in very nice condition, but I'm sure they had racked on the miles. I think it has more to do if you are a car guy or not.

maybe those beaters have some type of sentimental value to them.
