Not quite a verbal comment, but happened when I went to get my car inspected. Give the guy the key and he gets in. After five seconds of trying to figure out where to put the key on the right hand side he looks up at me defeated. I smiled, pointed to the left side of the steering column and he says, "Oh". Then proceeds to stall it three times while I'm standing there. Awesome.

If anything, you will need to buy ANOTHER one, this time a Cayenne

It's corny but I was driving down a main street in a small town past the 1 screen movie theater while Cars was playing and everyone turns, stares, and some kids shout " Holly Porsche". I got more strange comments with the Boxster when people would see me load both the front and the back.

Finally, back in early 2001 right after I bought my 964 for $23,000 a guy at a gas station pulls up in his HUGE probably $50,000 pimped out SUV and says "Man, you must be Bill Gate's son!". The thing that makes this really funny, is that I could probably sell my 964 today for that same $23K (well, if I put it back together), and he probably couldn't get $15K for that SUV. So not only did he spend a lot more than me, he lost A LOT more.

Feel-good Story: Was at Toy's-R-Us this past Christmas, I'm 33 but look 23. This "grown" man around 50-60 said..."Man that's a nice Porsshhh, the closest I have come to one of these was playing on my sons' PlayStation." "Did your dad buy this for you?" I replied, "Nope, just been saving up my mowing money for the past few summers..."

I bought her an SUV a few months back (aka baby protector) so that should keep her happy for a while.....I think she's starting to understand how addicted I am to the P-Car - need to start looking at those babyseats! Classic!

my neighbor across the street sees the 996 pull up in a trailer the day i got it and says " Wow dude did you get ANOTHER Porsch ? What did you do with your old one ? I said " Dude, i'm keeping it " he says " and your wife is letting you do that ? you must be really hung "
i guess he doesn't know the theory on why we buy porsches ?

If we're getting into my girls better than your girl, my GF of three years recently sold her R1 but still has an 84 911 euro cab and a Cayman S. She's one of the few people I let drive my racecar and she's pretty damn fast. Did I mention she's hot. 
Damn I'm lucky.
Back on topic, my favorite comment of all time was right here on this board a couple of weeks ago explaining why a 993 was better than a 996.
"Cars are best judged, like in figure skating, on technical value and on artistic impression. Everybody knows that 996 has better technical value, but 993 shines in artistic impression."
What a limpdick. My 996s are frickin hockey players. Go Sioux!

Jim, we both subscribe to the same camp! 
I frequently brag that I have the perfect wife......she's looks like a trophy wife, is way smart and has a seccessful carreer (M.D.), and she drives at the track as well. Next event she is out in the GT3. Yeah right, like I could ever replace her
