Hahaha!

10 years ago a similar thing happened to me when I drove my brand-new Carrera GT to a central Indiana WalMart while attending a track event. The kids called out; "Hey, mister! Is that the new Corvette??"

I've had much worse with my CGT. While filling up at a gas station a teenage kid came up to me saying wow, wow how much did you pay for that. I told him I got a good deal as I didn't wanna get into it. He asks like how much, $100,000? I told him no a little more than that. Then he goes on to tell me I paid too much, and finally to top it off he asks me why didn't you just get a used 911 instead. I told him I couldn't afford one and he nodded his head and said yea they're really expensive, but your car is nice too.

I had a guy come over to me to complement me on my yellow Mustang (Ferrari 512). I was baffled at first but then realized both makes had a horse emblem.

I met that fine southern California gentleman in June. He was picking up that beautiful 918 from the factory. The next day a group of us left on a 918 Spyder Circle tour through the Austrian Alps. It was a grand 4 days and included a bonus stop at the home of Dr. Wolfgang Porsche. He invited us on a private tour of his garage and fine collection of cars! Can not wait for Alps Tour 2.0 next year to northern Italy and ending in Munich for Oktoberfest!

Maybe you should take that kid along with you to negotiate your next car deal.
