I love how this went from a new guy in a woman's car asking beaten to death Q's to cheesecake factory discussions.

Carry on.

I personally like the Miso Salmon Dish or the Factory Burger.

By any chance do you know what kind of bread do they serve you while you wait for your entree?
I think all Cheesecake Factories are like this. When I was in Indianapolis the wait was always super long. That's because the one thing that the Cheesecake Factory is good at is that they are consistent no matter which one in the US you go to eat at.

And I think the bread is the same everywhere. You get that sourdough one and the brown one with oats.

porsche boxster s
Ok that is fine but you could of said something like that from the start. And I don't need to hear about the boxster being a girls car cuz I really don't care. Most people say that till they drive it on a track. It doesn't compare to an e55 and it's not supposed to its a completely different type of car. And when it comes to not being about to afford a 911, that's funny because I have owned 911s and jags and 1 Mercedes. So I don't really want to hear it. I'm fine for constructive criticism but if your just hear to talk **** to me it's not helping anyone

Are you getting attitude? Sure as **** you are... Do you deserve it? Prolly not... You can thank the half dozen ppl before you who started the same thread.

Stff and learn about the car. If you stick around enough you'll see why the regulars don't really care anymore

The Boxster S is a very capable car, but how will the E55 be used? My E55 is used as a night out car and the Porsches are used to get my yayas. However, I use my RX330 for a daily driver and lots of time I just let the other cars sit.

The E55 is a very different car than the Boxster as it has almost 2x the hp/tq and traction is a definite problem when flooring it. I never pushed the E55 hard, but was quite surprised at how well the car handles.

If you keep up with maintenance, your car should be just as reliable as your Boxster. Maintenance is usually oil/filter and fluid/filter changes. Nothing too hard to do, but repairs are another thing. For that, I would get an aftermarket warranty for the car as repairs are quite pricey!

I love that you stuck around here and stood the initial blast. Seriously though, all the things you want to know are here if you look. It would be great if you looked and then asked a clarifying question. It would honestly like one of us going into the P car forum in the Boxster section and posting a title thread, "Is the boxster a girls car?". I typed that in a Google search and found about 10 threads saying it is not. It is just kind of aggravating. I think moose said it best, Lurk, read, purchase, post!

P.S. Just sold a 996tt 2003 last year to get back into a 55! Just cant beat the torque and look on peoples faces when they ride shotgun and feel it! My wife explains it as all her guts being pushed against the back of the seat!

I like it all! My wife had the Oreo last night and it was pretty tasty from what little I tasted. I had to pass since I have a physical for work coming up in April.

Good thing you don't own one then and you just hang out in the wrong section for no apparent reason!

I like the peanut butter one or the red velvet or the anniversary chocolate. Can't decide!!!!

Off topic but the OP started a similar thread in the C32/55 section right after this one. So I think it's safe to say he's going to settle on a C Class
