Move out here to San Diego, people simply don't care to much to even ask unless its something way out there. When I bring the 356 out it takes my 45 mintues to fuel up because of the questions, The 911 not a single question.
Might have to do with the fact that there more Porsches out here is SD then any other place on earth, I count them on the way to work to pass the time in traffic.
The only funny car story of people coming up to one of my cars involves my wife, she had taken the 308 out for some reason because I had blocked her car in. She got home and handed me the keys and said she would never drive the thing again. Took a good week to get a answer out of her but seems that some "creepy old guy" came up to here and aksed her to marry him assuming that it was her car, anfter that it was a parade of questions and she simply does not understand the appeal of driving a car that is the absolute center of attention.

I always get the cool car comments or thumbs up from little kids. I think most adult in my affluent area of the world are too jaded to make a nice comment. I found many would rather cut me off...
Oh well F#%ck them

I'm not really into the little kids gauking(sp?) but on my way out of the neighborhood today 3 little boys were walking the opposite direction. I heard one of them say "that's not a BMW" as I passed by. LOL!! I immediately thought of this thread..

But this thing is a man magnet. Maybe because Porsches are not in the latest rap and R&B video's is the reason most women don't even know it's a Porsche("Porsche" is only dislpayed in small font on the front emblem) and moreover that it's even good enough looking to even ask.
Could be I've grown uglier too.
Just venting..

Sucks to be him...
This happened just 10 minutes ago... I was stopped at a light waiting to turn on to my street to go home (I was on Rte. 123/Chain Bridge Road waiting to turn left on to International Drive, for those of you from NoVA/DC.) I just happened to look back to check out what was behind me when I saw an older man coming up to the light, checking out my car -- he even nodded at me as if to say "nice car." Anyway, I guess he was so mesmerized that he didn't notice the light was red! He slams on the brakes and stops about 2 feet past the line. A split second later I hear a loud chirp and see red and blue lights. Busted! There was one of Fairfax County's finest right next to him. I feel sorry for the guy but I guess that's one less dude who will be admiring Porsches.

I just read the whole thread, and I'm still laughing from Riad's post 
The 911 does seem to evoke more reactions from guys. Funny thing is, the 987S seems to attract comments from girls!! I would have thought it was the other way around. Even my wife, who tucks her hair into a baseball cap and wears sunglasses when she drives with the car top down, is not immune and has been whistled at by other girls when she drives the 987S.

Haha, this thread is great.
Today's Silver Bullit Related story:
Comming back from a Local Rennlister meet, i pin the throttle thru a tunnel and absolutly light the thing up (Fabspeed Bypass Pipes), pedestrians having heart attacks, ppl covering their ears, one guy allmost tripped, u know that kinda loud (unexpecting too since when i approached i had lifted off the gas). When I stop at the light just on the other side of the tunnel, this blond chick (must have been maybe 22-23 ish more or less) comes up to me and told me i scared the living crap outta her and her friends and that that was a mean thing to do. So i say i'm sorry and offer her a lift to where she has to go. 8 Mins later i've got a name, number and a date for 2morro night.
And that gentlemen, is how you use an otherwise obnoxious set of mufflers to pickup chicks.
