I thought those stickers were meant to be ironic, i.e you put it on your one and only shit car to pretend it's just your daily. If someone told me it was a serious thing I'd be asking them why they're not driving their Porsche

Because petrol and tyres aren't cheap for driving to work in traffic.

These people who buy a brand new car to appear to save money don't make sense. At £200 quid though, that's 1 235/18/35 tyre.

Good buy that! Please don't put the sticker on though, everything about it screams twat. Like those middle age men who used to walk around in their scooby coat and baseball hat.

I'm about £15 a day in fuel and run 255 18s on a pretty average salary and manage ok. Only way I'd go for a second vehicle would be if it was a bike

Not necessarily but possibly. I wouldn't want to drive a low mileage example of any car everyday, they low mileage means something to me. I'd rather put miles on a £200 ford. There are quite a few reasons for wanting a runabout.

It was either that or 'that sticker is fucking gay', went the diplomatic route

Sticker is a bit gay though, even if the other car was a 918.

My commute's going from a 20 minute walk to a 40 mile round trip on 1st October. I'm sorry I'm not rich enough to be able to afford a 911 and sorry I'm not rich enough to be able to spend £300 a month on super juice.

The reason I bought it has nothing to do with the Boxster being eligable for a classic/limited mileage policy which requires it to not be your main car, of course.

Also, Boxsters aren't exactly great for carrying bikes around in either now are they?

I have 235/30/19's and use my car everday. I must be proper elite

In all seriousness, driving your pride and joy everyday only ends up giving you a headache. Worrying about car park dings, stone chips, pricks crashing into you whilst not concentrating etc.

This. The Boxster has a nice array of dents in it from the work car park which I need to get sorted and some twat drove into the side of it on a roundabout a few months ago. The claim is still on going and causing me a right headache

Boxster isn't too bad on tyres either, the fronts on mine are from '08 - they're probably it's second set. The rears, well that depends on how you like to take roundabouts and corners
