Ha, I got that line too in West Virginia. I was at a gas station when an old lady gets out of her car and says "That's beautiful. It's a Ferrari right?" Then she ask me for a ride sometime. Maybe if she had a hot granddaughter.

I was refueling and two kids about 10 go by on bikes real slow. One kid yells out WOW nice car. The other one says where'd you get the money? I replied "at the bank"

Good friend of mine just bought a new C4S. Picks up his mom at the airport, and she says" They aren't paying you enought to afford a car with bigger back seats? "

Some guy asked if my C4 was a "hybrid"

So I said, no, but it is a "smart car"

My daily driver is a Scion xB -- you know, the tipper-over-refrigerator-looking-thing (and mine is appliance white). You can only imagine the comments/questions these things bring Too funny.

I saw an xB the other day with the tag "UGLY BOX"

I think they're neat, though Then again, I also like the Honda Element styling. Go figure.

Most comments from women (by far) was from my Jaguar XJR. Comments about my Ferrari 456 are mostly "how fast does it go?" . Comments about my Porsches have been "I've never seen that one or is that custom (911 speedster) or is that real (550 spyder). I normally don't give sarcastic replies but a guy standing with his g-friend once said, "man, your an idiot for driving that beatiful Ferrari in the snow" So I replied, "at least I"m an idiot with a Ferrari"

I have the Aerokit and a teener at a McD's parking lot asks, "Who makes your wing? Wings West? I didn't know they made kits for Porsches".

At the border coming back from Tremblant towing the 996, the US border guard asks me to open the trunk. I get out, and open the trunk. I look around and couldn't find him. I lean over and see him waiting behind the trailer. I wave and say, "The trunk's over here". He looks at me with a blank stare, then walks my way.

Everyone I talk to seems to think that Porsches are made in Italy. "It's Italian...right?"
