I let them take pictures if they ask. It just all gets old after a while as an owner, not so for the picture takers. Most of them don't even bother to ask. But the attention is indeed mostly positive (except for people trying to race you all the time).

That's awesome! I had to convince a guy at Cars and Coffee that it was cool for him the sit in the car.

Great story. Thanks for sharing. I agree that it's the most beautiful car that I have ever seen. Porsche is still a brand that most young people can aspire to having some day if they work hard. Even if not a GT3, a standard 911 or Cayman. So it's great that you let the teens sit in the car to get a feel for it. Sometimes that's all it takes to change a young person's attitude and make them set goals to achieve. I would do the same.

I picked up my car Saturday and had a 200 mile drive back. While on the highway a truck pulled up beside me and blew the horn. At first I thought there was something wrong with my car so I rolled down the window. The young man in the passenger seat yelled that my car was "the most beautiful car he had ever seen" and that it was his "dream car". I thanked him and told him that I just picked it up. He said "I know, I saw the temp tag".
On Sunday I took my wife for a ride in it and on the way back we stopped at the grocery store. I waited in the car to play with the stereo. Right away a white Honda with a couple of teenagers pulls up beside me and asks if they can take a picture of the car. I say sure and ask them if they want me to take a picture of them sitting in it. I thought one of the boys was going to faint. He was all "No way! Really! Then he told me that he was glad that he had just bought new shoes because he would have been afraid to sit in it with his old shoes.
The car definitely draws a lot of attention. Really more than I was expecting. So far all positive.

The metallic white is great. Glad that I ordered it. No regrets whatsoever. Most people could not tell the difference between it and regular white until you get within about 2 feet of it.

Been pulled over twice so far and it was not to admire my car. Got off both times but the Bypass certainly gets a lot of attention. They assumed(
) I was speeding but they never had their radars on until they pulled me over.
Talked my way out of both of them but I am beginning to think I am a marked man. I will not take out car after 9:00 pm at night especially even if I was just going to have one glass of wine. Not worth it
