I turn off the car and a chick opens the door and gets in and shuts the door - a total stranger. After introducing herself in slurred speech, she asks me to take her home. She is TOTALLY wasted at 1230 in the afternoon. It happened so fast that I am totally shocked at what is happening. I'm twice her age and wearing a hat and sunglasses which obviously hid that fact. For a moment, I thought about taking her up on her offer. lol.....but then I notice she is holding a f'ing cigarette. I nearly panic because now I am worried about my leather dash getting a burn mark on it. I quickly hop out and carefully help her out of the car and told her she got in the wrong Uber. I pointed that **** show to another car. Hopefully, I helped that guy out.
OMG except for the time of day I had virtually the same thing happen in my 911. Probably not a lot of Honda owners with that story.

Another story. Same car, and my wife and I are hitting our favorite wine bar a block away from story #1 above. The bar is packed and overflowing out on the patio which is unusual. (all guys too)...but there was a spot right out front so I make my parking approach. Two guys flag me in and start giving hand signals directing me like the airplane ground crews do at the gate. I slowly move in and park......the gaggle of men flock around my car to check it out and all want to talk to me. Must be a bunch of car guys. Cool. My wife and I walk in to the bar and read the sign. "Wilmington's Gay night out here tonight". Holy crap....I was gay chum and didn't even know it. Started following the Gay Night Out section of the local newspaper. LOL

That is all. Carry on.

My 981 cayman i assume must have pissed off a lot of both men and women in my hometown back in 2015 and 2016 when it was considered a pretty new hot looking car.

What i did to advertise my new purchase was i posted a facebook profile picture of two gay black men kissing each other as my main picture, causing people to get shocked and causing them to click on my profile page. It had been years since anyone from my hometown heard much about me, and when the unsuspecting person clicked on my page, they would end up seeing a gigantic background cover photo of me standing in front of my new porsche cayman with the keys in my hand. I knew that a lot of people mustve been visiting the page because i got an accidental friend request every now and then, presumably from someone swiping through my page, and touching the friend request button.

It's especially hilarious when someone makes such a declaration and their car in question is a 981 Cayman.
If you're going around telling people "I just bought a new Porsche" and the car wasn't a 911, you're just trying to flex. Always remember, nobody cares. Really, nobody cares.

Oh those are great words. Words to p*ss off enemies, and to give a slender middle finger salute to the Establishment. Necessary sometimes, believe me.

And another purpose of Porsches, especially GT models and Turbos, is to kick *ss.

The 981 has a higher perceived value than the 911. Its never about the actual cost of the vehicle, its all about perceived value. That is why a 30,000 used maserati will be seen as a status symbol but not a 40,000 honda suv

What about a 50,000 minivan—where does that fall into the status equation? Or, even better, an Oldsmobile Silhouette, driven by Chili Palmer—that’s got a lot of perceived value, no?

what i have discovered is that a really good wrap job and its color affects things quite a lot. i once walked past a matte purple mazda 6 sedan that looked extremely good and couldve passed for something worth 200k if not for the mazda badge. i thought the rear half looked maserati like. also, if the car is spotless on the outside and the rims are cleaned very well, then that brings any vehicle up a lot more in terms of appearance.

a 50,000 dollar minivan would obviously have very little perceived value and would be seen as an ordinary car. i would say the porsche suvs would have a much lower perceived value than the sports cars

Glad to be of service good sir, I am silly/idiotic when my life/wife allows it.
Laughter is this best medicine, hence me lurking around this thread periodically for my fix.
Long live the SillyGoose and these off topic threads that bring joy to our days, despite the topics being
as useless as **** on a boar hog

What the Hell is perceived value?? You talking about how much $$ something appears to cost in the eye of the average idiot?
