The hipsters in Cobble Hill

The wife and I drove the race car to dinner tonight in Brooklyn's Cobble Hill neighborhood and parked on the street. After dinner, we strolled back toward the car and talked for a few more minutes with our dinner companions before parting ways. Walking past us were a handful of perfect Brooklyn hipster folk, gawking a bit at my car and making some fun. "Ooooh," said one sarcastically, "the Carrera FIVE..."
To all the hipsters out there: If you're going to ridicule, at least know what it is you're making fun of!
I laughed to myself, hopped in and drove off.

For some reason people seem to feel that since you are in a fast car they better prove the size of their testis. A middle aged man in a red Hyundai squealed his tires at a traffic light trying to "race" me. I hope they understand that we aren't pushing our car every time we drive. I wonder if they go brag to their friends when they get home and say they won in a race against a Porsche.

agreed, I live in NC, where the 'redneck' people are at an all time high!
It's insane how funny they are too......
does anyone else get so sick and tired of getting : cut off, people trying to race you, always speeding up on the hightway while you try to pass them......
what is it about Pcars that turn others into kooks?
JEALOUSY

Your statement about people cutting you off, trying to race, not letting you pass is SO TRUE. I recently drove 100 miles in a Ferrari. That expeience was even worse. Got flipped the bird 3x just for passing people on the highway. Sad really

it seems like some people are just too drenched in misery to care about much else

I think people want to hear the sound of the motor. This happened to me the other day where a couple kids in a old S-10 wanted to race. I put the hammer down in first and second and they had the biggest smiles on their faces. Just something for them to appreciate and talk about with their buddies. Obviously, you want to be safe about it but I'll give them a thrill.
I always roll my window down to listen to exotic cars motors. I ragged on my buddy for getting a Prius so he recently sent me a picture of the speedo going 110 mph the other day. I was empressed.

We seem to have our unfair share of Prius dragsters here in Austin. Of course, it flies against their own hyper-mile "enviro-hypster" image but go figure. If they see a red Carrera at a stop light... the hell with MPG. Lately I've taken to just stay in one lane w/o maneuvering to get ahead b/c that typically means I'm at the stop light next to kid ricer or enviro-dragster. Every so often though I do miss that whine up sound of a Prius attempting it's own version of launch mode.
