This morning, while filling up my car at the gas station a guy walked up to me and said "I just wanted to thank you, seeing that car made my day".
I said thanks, I just bought it. He congratulated me. I wasn't expecting this kind of attention from the car.
It's always been a dream of mine to have a 911 but wow, especially since there are so many in my area.

Just recently at a non-pcar DE as we are all unpacking, changing tires, etc. Upon overhearing me explain to a friend that my aerokit wing has 3 positions and which one I am running it at for the DE... With allen wrenchs in hand as I adjust the wing. Someone asks, does that wing go up and down automatically?

At a recent car show this phrase was uttered something like 30 times.
"hyuck..where's the damn engine?"
and this one once:
"Just a glorified VW"
I had my top off sitting behind the car:
"Ohhh..that's the TOP!"
Finally, I had my soft top part of the way up and people thought the rear piece that moves back to let the top down into it's womb:
"That's a huge wing"

Thanks Grant! Although I give the nod to rennlist on that one. I heard that reply here first and that memory just hit me when the officer made the comment. The startled look on her face as I topdown burned outta there was indeed priceless!

i was at the south florida auto show having a great time just watching people freak out when inspecting the cayman - which was displayed with the front trunk and rear hatch open. they just couldn't figure out where the engine was.

This isn't my story, but a guy I met at an AX told me that he was in a dating phase of his life, and aside from some truck for daily driving, he had a Boxster and an older (early 80's) 911. Thinking that most women would prefer the Boxster, he generally used this for his dates. One girl he was dating, after about 4 dates -- all in the Boxster -- ended up at his residence, and when he opened the garage door to pull the Boxster in next to the 911, the girl exclaimed, "Oh my god, why didn't you tell me you had a Porsche!"
Now, this is either the saddest thing you've ever heard (Boxster owner) or perhaps the most amusing thing you've ever heard (air cooled 911 purist, owner of "the last real Porsche", etc) But either way you have to admit the the comment is pretty dumb... hehe

I've been asked if it's a Camaro, Corvette, etc.
Best one for me, though was at a gas station in Virginia. I pull up to the pump, and there's this woman in her 60's, bejeweled and smartly dressed, pumping gas into this giant ancient mint Caddy convertible on the other side. She watches me pull up short with the front fender in line with the pump, and raises an eyebrow as I get out. She raises the other eyebrow as I flip the lid and start pumping gas. Then, dripping with absolute disdain, she shoots me with a withering glance and snorts "I suppose the engine is in the rear, too". I guess I must be a real backward kind of guy, owning a car where nothing is where it should be.

I own a Boxster, and have had a few comments that made me laugh.
Once, I pulled up to check into a hotel and opened up both the front and rear trunks. The valet asked where the engine was.
Another time, when I had the front trunk opened, someone asked me if I was having engine problems.

Funniest question ever.. A valet who asked 'can I park this car for you sir?' Yeh Right!
Most stupid security: San Diego Airport security after 9-11 checked the rear trunk on the Boxster but not the front..... Doh!
Most annoying: Border control checkpoint going from CA to AZ on 95 - they pull me out of line to 'check my paperwork' as soon as they hear the Brit accent, then do nothing but ask me about the car for the next 5 mins!

I was at a Discount Tire getting a new set of rubber put on my track wheels when the guy asks me, "sweet 911, is that V6 or V8?". I tell him neither. To which he responds, "no way, these things come with a 4-cyl?".
