Default Held off Boxster S

On my way home from lunch today, I'm sitting at a red light all the way in the right lane. Light turns green and I take off a little faster than usual, when a Boxster S that must have ran the red light making a left turn swerves into my lane, didn't see him cause I had a lifted truck to my left. Well Mr. Porsche is going painfully slow so I'm like whatever, switch lanes and pass him. As I'm going by, not even fast just letting the auto shift at 3k rpms, I get a ear full of his engine through my window. I say F that, and step on the gas too. Probably was going about 10mph faster than him when he hit it, but my auto didn't even down shift, just slowy climbed through 2nd. Must have put about a car on him by 80mph before catching up to traffic. Would have had a go at him from a stop sign but some tard in a Saturn jumped in front of me screwing up the order, and there was too much traffic for the boxster to sit there and wait for me to get to the line even though I think he wanted to. He had his wife in the car too I think.

Porsche boxsters are sooooo gay! Sure they are made by porsche but hardly any better than a cobalt! There is a douche bag in my squadron with one and he thinks he is hot ****, and I swear if he wasn't married I would think he was queer! Nevermind I still think he is queer, plus everytime I ask him to "lets run em" he says naw man my car is too expensive to dog out!

i thought the boxster was the slow one and the boxster s was a boxter with the carrera motor? i could be wrong, and probably am since the specs are right above me but oh well thats what i was told by a buddy of mine who knows quite a bit about porsce (i thought).

Car and Driver says a lot of things...

But that does sound about right.
