The stereotype and/ or stigma of being a "porsha" owner. I Hate the "must be nice" comments and feel like saying ,"uh no......id just Rather spend what I did on a air cooled beaut.... Then a new loaded Camry or accord"

I wasn't expecting that, or at least I thought I was used to it from driving a BMW previously -- never mind that your ridonkulous Tonka truck cost twice or three times what my car did... The first day I showed up at the office in the 993 EVERYBODY came out of the woodwork to give me a hard time about how wealthy I must be.

I know better, y'all know better, but the difference in perception is real.

+1 One of the worst things about P car ownership. I've driven it to work a few times and I dreaded the comments I knew I'd get the first time I showed up in it.

I know some people buy cars like these as a status symbol but that is the furthest thing from my mind. I prefer to be invisible and just enjoy the car.

I'd say the car and the bank account have been playing rather nicely and liberally with each other...How can you hate that, J? Baaaaahaaaahaa

I dont "hate" anything about my car...

Not to say there aren't a few idiosyncracies I could do without; some of which have already been mentioned...

...Hoewver, if the same question was asked of the gf, I'm sure she could name a few!

WAIT! Cactus hit the nail on the head...I HATE the soft German glass that pitts far to easily!

...I stand corrected...~sigh~

AKTUNG

Having to take defensive actions when other drivers are looking so hard at the car that they are rolling right up behind you or coming into your lane wondering what it is or admiring it because there are so few on the road.
