big ole trucks don't like our cars. most all young guys & girls really luv our cars. old folks stare and do not smile, walking or in traffic. people at the gas station always say "nice car" or "can I please borrow some money"...only happens in this car! the UPS guy will try & race u, along with every other ford exploder and Nissan. these cars will cost u business and a few peeps u thought were friends. these frekn cars are way fast and come w tickets. (all observations from a guy who has had many cars & trucks in his life, mostly used, and more bikes than he can remember) this is the most fabulous of them all and the Harley is very jealous, just like a lot of fecked up peeps out there. like a lot of you, it was my dream car. it is my dream car! and I know one day it is gona help pay for most of that brand new big *** truck I'm gona buy. but till then...

My 12 year old sons friends love my car. They sit in the passenger seat completely mesmorized by the handling, acceleration and noise. If I can pass on my love of cars to one or two of them I will be happy.

Neither of my teenage sons l(13 and 16) like it when I drop them off at school in it. If I was a kid, I would have loved it. They don't run with pretentious crowds, which I can appreciate, and the p-car still represents that image to most.

Well, I've had two screws put under my rear tires. Cost me a bundle to get them replaced. On both occasions, the screws were forced into the outer sidewall. I'm convinced it was some jerk who had envy.....or maybe they were just an a**hole!

That is my experience owning a P-Car. No complaints though, if someone can't be happy with my success than they can go else where

At least the spelling is 100%. I can't even get my employees to differentiate 'your' and 'you're' in written communications.

Some people have really big issues. Thankfully, the dumb *** hippies in Asheville do not represent the rest of the state.

Got mine after the divorce. The neighbors felt sorry for me during the divorce (I'm personable and the ex didn't socialize at all).

I wheel in the place in the 911 (which cost less than many F-150's) and I get the "blank face". Lol, I still wave and act the same.

People are odd.

ETA: I did see a bumper sticker about trucks once but don't have the ***** to display it. It said: "Love your truck. Sorry about your *****." Perfect!

I am envious of the guy who just bought. 918 Spyder in my town. Otherwise sitting next to the 991 at the red light and then watching his expression as my exhaust sounds off and I take off. Seeing his face in my rear view mirror is priceless.
