That's who I thought it was but didn't want to make a mistake. You know what it is like to be wrong on this forum.

The older I get, the less I care what other people think of me. In fact, with every year that passes, I find myself deriving pleasure from making other people uncomfortable or angry.

I guess I drive the right car.

...and they told the interviewees the man just bought a Boxster. Think how much worse the opinions would've been had they told them he bought a 911...even better looking, more intelligent, bigger rival, and super flirtatious.

I've got 5 of them so no friends, and it's getting tiresome stepping through the flirtatious women debris field - yeah, right.

Those were his exact words. Now this kids parents BOTH drive minivans. Being the sensitive type that I am, I say " yeah, but you can't do this in a minivan" and floor the throttle. Too fun. I'm positive the parents hate me.


Well played, Stairmasterman, well played.

Breaking news.....informal study shows people are less friendly and loyal to Porsche owners. Knowing someone can own a Porsche when they don't gives them an inferiority complex which manifests itself with outbursts of "ooooh look at you Mr fancy Porsche owner" and other equally purile statements randomly inserted into conversations.

The study also concluded that most Porsche owners are, in fact, car geeks and would rather be driving rather than hanging out with people who participate this this type of study........

Rival?



On a more serious note, if someone is going to judge me because of what I drive, I have 0 intentions of being their friend and therefore I could not care less about their opinion of me.
