Default Picture Day...

So this morning on my way into work a driver sped up behind me and pulled out their cell phone and snapped a picture and then quickly veered off into the turn lane to their original destination. About a week ago another driver sped up along side me and pulled out their phone to take a picture as well. Does this happen to any one else? It's kind of concerning at first but then I remember that I'm driving a 928...

A couple of months ago, I was driving on the Sawgrass Expressway here in South Florida. I was in the rightmost lane (3 lanes in my direction), talking on the phone (I use a bluetooth earpiece). I notice a car in the leftmost lane is now matching my rather pedestrian speed - probably around 65. I look over and there is a guy in a VW Golf with his window down 'filming' me with his smartphone. Well, he wasn't filming me, he was filming the 928 of course. After a couple minutes he sped back up - I think the other left lane folks started flashing him to get his *** in gear.

In the 928 never in 18 years of ownership.

In the Ferrari at least once every single time I drive it.

Happens on occasion, most interesting was a kid hanging out the window on the passenger side of a pickup truck at 70 trying to get the perfect shot.

A lot more thumbs up than pictures, but noticeable.

Yep, happened once on the Kennedy in downtown Chicago in the bumper-to-bumper 70mph rush hour, and I've yet to fill up at a gas station without having a conversation.

Oh, and I had a conversation with a toll booth attendant on the IN-OH state line. "I've got to ask, what kind of car is that!?!"

Ferraris. Pshaw. Trying too hard...

Yes. Twice so far, once in 2008 by three girls in a corolla, the second by a little boy in a parking lot.

I get more attention when driving my '84 GTI than the 928.

Me either. I think it is more likely the good looking dudes driving them than the cars.

Yep at least once per summer someone takes a pic, also when we (four Sharks) were coming back from Frenzy last year, we had a few doing videos of us all going by and they didn't have an emblem on the door

Yes, this has happened to me.
My wife came out into the garage and started snapping pictures of the 928 with her phone,
I assume she posted them on the "Curb Alert" section of Craigslist...
