She (10yo) helps me wash the car (sort of) - apparently she thought the two r's in the Carrera on the rear decklid were an "m" . . . How funny.

That is funny! A friend of mine thought I had a "Tanga"!
The R is slanted forward, so he thought it was an N.

When I had my '95 993, I had a similar experience. A young, twentysomething woman pointed to my car and told her friend, "Oh look, a Camera." I had to try hard not to bust out laughing at her. I replaced that logo with a "911" logo the next week.

My 83 year old Mother looks at the car and says "you would think they would have their name written all over it"

I can think of 15 places PORSCHE is printed that can be seen from the outside of the car.

I heard of a friend that asked his wife to take his truck into Ford for a serve, the manager asked her what was the model and she said it was a FISO.

FISO? They walked to the truck and he started to laugh very very hard, it was a F 150.

My favorite Camaro vs Porsche story: PINCHED
It happened to my good buddy and neighbor, SneakyPete.
