However, I still have a great smile, a sick sense of humor and I make a hell of a martini!

I had a pretty modded up 335i. Aside from the occasional teen, didn't get many stares. With the high low-end instant torque, it was fairly easy to drive on the freeway. Still no one really tried to race me.

Now that I got my 991, I get a lot of looks. I get a lot of looks from girls especially. I get so many looks now, my GF gets jealous. I'm not particularly handsome, and I'm usually in a black shirt and exercise shorts so I'm fairly certain it's the car. I just got a haircut today and when I walked up to my 991, a old guy looked at my car for a good 30 seconds then gave me a thumbs up. And before I got in, a girl asked me if it was my car, said it looked nice, and said she's seen me around before.

Further, unlike my 335i whereupon I can hit 110 and not feel a thing...I drive like a Grandpa in my 991. Freaking everybody tries to race me. I define "tries to race" by a car accelerating to pull up beside me on the freeway and starts to rev or when a car becomes irrationally aggressive in maneuvering to cut me off when I am driving the speed limit.

Also, I don't have PSE, but my GF tells me that whenever I pass cars the drivers and their passengers always turn their heads. Granted, I do keep the car above 4k rpms on the freeway as soon as the oil is at temp so that's also probably why.

Bottom line, there is a noticeably significant increase in attention from this car.

I live in the Los Feliz area if that matters.

This is why high-school boys try to outdo each other with lots of stickers, wings, and other accoutrements such as stereos and rims. They aren't installing all that stuff to impress the girls -- they're using it to establish status among their peers, which in turn impresses the girls by signaling reproductive fitness.
