What's the craziest reaction you've seen from another driver in your 911 Turbo?

I might as well be driving a beige Camry. Even with the CH-Rs and all, I don't know that anybody has ever said anything to me. This is in stark contrast to my GTR. Everybody wanted to honk, wave, and take pics with it.

I was at a gas station when a couple walked up and asked if his wife can take a picture with the car. I walked back from the car and said shes all yours, then the wife turns to me and says oh by the way my name is Porsche and i love your car so i tell her well then i love your name then the husband steps in and says you want to trade Porsches?

Had a good one today. Was in the center of three traffic lanes. Put on my left signal and coasted for a bit to let the car beside me pull past, then pulled over into the left lane. I'd say there were about 1.5 car lengths in front of me and five for so behind when I pulled in (with traffic moving pretty slowly - maybe 25mph).
So, the guy in the SUV behind me guns it, swerves into the center lane beside me, and screams, "You'd think a nice car like that would have turn signals!" then slams on the brakes and swerves back in behind me.
But.. I'm 100% certain that I did signal, and not even for a short time. It was probably a good four blinks or more as the car beside me pulled past. Most sedate lane change ever. I can only assume that his all-consuming rage at the Porsche taking "his spot" blinded him to my turn signals.

I pulled up next to a truck at a stop light and the 30 YO hick in the right seat of the truck looks down at me and says, "hey, next time save up more money and get a 911 instead of that Boxster piece of ****". Just as I was getting ready to reply his driver buddy gets out of his seat and leans over to take a look and then smacks his buddy on the back of the head and says, "that's a 911 Turbo you idiot!". He looks at me an says, "sorry dude".
I smiled, the light turned green and I was on my way.

haven't had my 997TT long but have been very obviously followed a couple times and have noticed quite a few sly phone pics being taken while driving. my response so far has been to put a few bus lengths between me and the offenders.

I get mostly thumbs ups and "nice ride, man" and of course some dirty looks like I was a felon or something. But today was the best. I pull up next to a guy in a nice Dodge Challenger and wait or the light. All of a sudden the guy I the Dodge screams "Aggggggg!" I look over to see if he's ok and he says "Wow, you are looking good!" And I reply "you're looking pretty good yourself" and he says "not like that!" Made my day.
