I usually get two responses... "Oh, you got the chick Porsche" or "Wow, that's my dream car."
I live in Southern California, (one of my neighbor's has a new Ferrari F430) so when I got m 2006 Boxster I thought I wouldn't get any response at all.
Before this I had a '71 911 T that was partially restored. I only paid $6,000.00 for it and had fun but as my "driver" got a little tired of little things going awry. The broken glove compartment latch, etc. When the clutch cable broke on the freeway and I safely pulled into the breakdown lane, I had people driving by pointing and laughing. I don't think they would have done this with a 30 plus year old Toyota.
It just comes with the territory. I just know that when I'm driving on some twisty back road with a smile on my face I could give a d**n what Jeremy Clarkson thinks. Besides doesn't that bugger drive a drive a Ford GT... Please
