Only attention I get is when I blow past them

I don't mind most of the the attention. The only thing I don't like about owning a fancy car is when the occasional ******* drives like an ******* around you to get your attention or egg you on to race.

My wife wouldn't ride with me (she was horrified at my behavior) so I left and when she called me 15 minutes later to come back and get her (that was awkward), I saw a police car out there by the Subaru. I called the store manager and he said he had grainy video that kind of showed the incident. I told him, hypothetically speaking, what happened and he said he completely understood my position and said the video had no identifying information and told me to have a nice day.

Nearly every outing I get a thumbs up. Most fuel stops there's someone who says "beautiful car", "is that Mexico blue" or "is that a GT3?" And if I drive windows down, many "love your car." Never had someone ask how much it cost.
To be honest, I'm the same way, complementing others on their choices. And it doesn't have to be an expensive, luxury or sports car.
For the record, my winged 3 is Miami Blue.

rs are pretty common in silicon valley. no one cares about it.
if someone wants to race me, i move to slow lane and he can go by. I know he needs compensating so
i try not to hurt his feelings.
if someone talks shOp and knows porsche we will have a good chat
if u ask how fast I go, speed limit only
if u ask how much I paid? I don’t know. ask my mother she bought it for me.
if i just don’t want to talk, I know and smile “sorry no speak engrish ”

There hasn’t been a drive where I don’t get a “ nice car” or thumbs up. There are the occasional “how much did you pay?” I want ask them if they’ve ever heard of google but I just kindly tell them my life savings. if they throw out a number I Say I got a deal! Go see so and so at Porsche....
The how much guys are the worst.

I wish I would have used your suggested response instead.

I am Orlando area and constantly get looks and comments on my Oak Green Metallic GT3. It is always a hit at Cars & Coffee and other meet-ups. I don't get half the comments with my White TTS Cab.

I find my RS gets attention from “car guys”, but most don’t even notice it. The 600LT gets attention from everyone. I don’t really mind it. I haven’t had anyone ask how much I paid for either.

I have answered the question: “what color is that” usually with some preface of I love it or I have never seen it before probably 500 times in two years. Everyone from young boys to old women. If my touring was black/white/silver/grey or even guards red, I don’t think I would have a question about my car (I naively thought a subtle green would go unnoticed and there are a lot of 911 around here). Now an orange 3RS, that’s going to get noticed.
