[QUOTE=programmatore] I turned around and looked her straight in the eyes and said "Lady, just because your *** is as wide as a Buick's does not mean you can park without a car!"

The way you pronounce the e in shell is the way you should pronounce the e in Porsche.
Listen to the mp3 a few more times!

As I was coming around the entrance to the parking lot I saw an open spot about 6 spots from the restaurant. "Perfect", I said, but as I tried to pull in, this big woman jumped in front of my car and refused to move so I can park. She kept waving at her friends in a Toyota RAV4 on the other side of the parking lot to come take the space. I tried inching up the spot to make her move but she wouldn't budge and just kept waving at her friends (all of whom were shaking their heads inside the RAV4, telling her to give me the spot.) I scanned the parking lot and saw 2 other open spots a little further down so I decided it was not worth the hassle, backed up, and took another spot and went in the restaurant.
A couple minutes later I was in line to order my food when the woman walks in with her entourage. I guess she was high on adrenaline from the incident because she wouldn't shut up about it. She even started trash talking in a loud voice, making sure I can hear "I can't believe that guy in the Porsche tried to take that spot. That was MY spot." And on, and on. I usually try and avoid confrontations but this lady wouldn't shut up and I snapped. I turned around and looked her straight in the eyes and said "Lady, just because your *** is as wide as a Buick's does not mean you can park without a car!" She and all her friends heard that. Half the restaurant heard that. There was silence. I turned around and went back to the business of ordering my food. A few minutes later I hear her again, mumbling to her friends about how she couldn't believe I said that and how I was an *******. This time it didn't bother me.
So, if you're out driving in Northern Virginia and a group of big, angry women riding in a RAV4 cuts you off then you know why.

Getting gas when a guy on the other side of the pump drives up in an old beater...I think he had an over grown mullet. He says, "Nice Porsche" (I think to myself - impressive!). I reply, "Thank you, I just bought it."
He asks what kind it is, I respond with, "911 Turbo" (Trying to keep it simple and end the conversation as quickly as possible).
So then he says (I will try to spell in a "georgia accent") "Thaaat's niice....I wunce knew a guy witha TWIN terrbo! It wuz reeeel faast".
I say, "wow...that IS nice". Then I got the hell outta there.

Went to the local small town festival, a kid is walking with his mom and dad by my car...can't be more than 8 years old. Turns, points and says to, "look dad - a 911 turbo!". I was so proud of that kid!

I want to trade my truck for a jeep, so I pull into this used jeep store while driving my Porsche. The guys asks if I need any help...so I say, "I want to get a Jeep, do you take Trade-ins". He smiles and says, "How many do you want?" I laughed my *** off and said, "oh no...my truck, not that".

Although it could have happened in any car with a speedo in kilometers, shortly after I bought a european version, '69 911S, my mother-in-law asked to go for a ride. She lived near a highway, so we pulled out smartly, but conservatively onto the highway with the rest of the traffic.
As we drove along with the rest of the traffic, I could see her scanning the dash. After a minute or two, she asked, "Where's the speedometer?" I pointed it out, which was reading just a bit over 100. She got visibly pale and said, "We really need to slow down!"
Just another one of those days when everyone out there is driving over 100.

Had a car full of thugs pull up next to me at a stop light and one in the backseat pointed to the hood and said "yo, whatchu got under the hood?" I pointed to the back and said "you mean back there?". He looked at me puzzled, pointed back to the hood and said "naw man, whatchu runnin under the hood?"
Oh, and yesterday my 14yo niece asked me if I could drive her to school in my new car. I asked her if she knew what kind of car it was. She said..."umm..a Mercedes???"

When I was 16 with my 944 (I think I'd paid $4200 for it) a girl in a new Range Rover was parked next to me in high school, and said something along the lines of "I can't believe your parents would buy you a car that expensive". I'd also gotten several "does your dad know you took his car out" in that same 944. Oddly enough, I've gotten similar comments driving my 540i sport/6 speed. I even ran time trials with that car, and often would leave the lap timer, numbers etc. on until the next wash, but I guess early 20s was too young to own an e39 5 series when those cars were almost new.

I was getting fuel a few years back at a gas station and pulled up as far as I can given our fuel tank is in the front. A lady behind me was telling me to pull up ahead further when I got out. I went up to her and said, "my car is all messed up. The engine is in the wrong place and so is the fuel tank." I proceeded to pump fuel in my car. A guy on the other side say to me with a smile "nice car" before pulling away. The look on the lady face was priceless.

Good stories...
the 86' has ~ a 20 gallon gas thank. With prices over $3.xx gallon its easy for me to drop $65+ on a fill up. I have had several attendants ask how many tanks I have and/or why would I need 2 tanks on such a small car - I just say its only get 5 miles/gallon and walk away chuckling

How about the simple question of do you like the car. I could of sworn it was a trick to get me to race car it out of the parking lot or cheer me up and bust my gut laughing.

Mine was in the 928. The sticker in the back is "928S". at the gas station a guy asks "whats a 9285?
I gave him some line of **** like it was a special model year and only 10 were made. Mine was number 3 out of the bunch. I told him it had a very rare v12 and the entire suspention was made from Titanium or some crap like that.. I gave his all the tools he needed to go look like an *** when talking to his buddies or at a car show.
