To be fair, this one bad incident in 20 days of p-car ownership has been far outweighed by the positive thumbs up and other many cheerful people asking questions, looking, or smiling as I/they go by/fill-up at gas station.

I'm jealous, that's exactly the color I wanted. For the new GT3 (at least in the US) they won't do it even as a "paint to sample." Nice ride and nice color!

Yes I would agree the UK is too socalist. But it's not as bad as the rest of Europe.

There are far to many young punk bu** heads like that in the MBch/Torrance area. I use to live in MBch. You probably did the right thing under the circumstances. But, I am not sure I would have been as proper as you were. Under the circumstances, if something happened, their SUV, could clearly be construed as a lethal weapon.

hostility towards my car is something i've never experienced. however, i had a friend in high school with a ferrari 308 gtsi. we weren't spit on but we'd find a pool of it on the seats if the top was off. worst incident was getting one side of his car keyed nose to tail. he kinda deserved it, we took two parking stalls in a crowed lot.

That totally blows . There's an underlying rage in some people that just seems to manifest itself when presented w/ a situation of perceived inferiority or have/have not.

Those asswipes likely aren't going anywhere in their lives, and spewing a lugey onto your sweet ride was the most intellectual effort they'd undertaken all day. The positive spin here is that you were under control, your car is okay, and those dudes will be stone deaf in a couple of years after bass-hammering their auditory system. It is fortunate that the incident was at a busy intersection and that they didn't see your car in a parking lot somewhere. Persons of their diminished social/cranial capacity surely would have left a mark that wouldn't wash away. fwiw....

Did you guys read the story of the African American doctor in CA who picked up his new GT3 and was run off the freeway by a couple of trailer trashers in a pickup truck not long after he took delviery in January? The car was totalled by the ins. co.. Luckily the doctor walked away. This was on the GT3 Rennlist board. If I recall correctly, it was a post for a "anybody need a parts car" or something like that. It was a terrible story and a sad statement on our society today.

What's the longest thread ever in the history of rennlist?

brh986

This one I think. It needs to be retired

Why do you feel this tread needs to be retired? If you feel, quit posting...

I know this thread is getting long but I have to tell everyone how much it has helped. I bought my first P-car 3 years ago which was a Boxster. A year ago I bought a 2002 911 C4S. And a week ago I added a 2004 Cayenne S. I have loved all of the cars and am obviously a certified Porsche nut. I have been a Porsche fanatic since I was a kid and I am finally in a position to indulge my passion. But boy, in the past week now owning TWO Porsches, I have seen the envy come out from co-workers, family, and friends. I don't get it. Growing up I was happy for people who had success. That obviuosly is a rare trait. Thank you all for this thread. I feel better now and plan on enjoying my Porsche's. The heck with jealousy.

I'm bringing this thread back to life. A new generation of Porsche owners have issues, and they're all the emotional kind.

So vent!!

I would think driving around Monroe you would get a lot of looks especially when you pass one of the hundreds of rusted pick up trucks in that town.

Riad

I'm not sure when the last time you were in Monroe, but it's turning into the next Westchester. Just down the road from me they are building homes starting at $680,000 - 40 of them!
