I have experienced this since literally the drive home from the dealer in my first Porsche... and that was in 2004; obviously that was WELL before our current times so it is not a recent phenomena. Truth is that the ratio of a-holes to normal people is probably 1:100,000 but that 1 person is all it takes.
I've been swerved at on the highway, cut off repeatedly, followed for miles, brake checked, insulted at the gas station, etc. etc. et cetera. On the road I just pull out the phone and start recording video and that makes them disappear. At the gas station I just smile bigger as they blow their pie holes.
It is a negative but not so big a negative that I wouldn't drive the car... though turbo power and the ability to accelerate away insanely fast is very handy.
I always park in the farthest corner of the parking lot... and that's fine because walking is good exercise.

I have noticed in movies lately how the douche often drives a Porsche.
most recently in TED, the Joel Mchale character, and before that in bridesmaids, the jon hamm character.
When my wife and i saw Ted and the douche was walking back to his car with the girl i whispered to her that i bet he had a porsche....and so it turned out
so, obviously the sentiment that some of the folks express is mainstream...
