Chicks Car?

[dagdisco03]

Hi have to agree that I’ve had more derogatory remarks made since owning this car then any others. I love driving it the most but boy people take issue that you are driving a Porsche or they think a $10K car makes you part of the 1% that they despise. For some reason when I had my Z3 which I purchased when it was a 2 year lease trade-in and not a 13 year old car always received positive and interesting conversations with people from all walks of life interested in the car and always complementary. I only had my friends busting me all the time that it was a chick car. The Box I’m not getting the chick car comment just the hey a-hole nice Porsche from across the street or cars at stop lights yelling out the window. I tend to drive like an old lady on the road so they should be saying those things because I was running them off the road or racing down the streets. I save that for the track.

I may have been behind you on rt 91 North a week ago on a Saturday morning around noon. I was driving my Ford Explorer behind a nice blue S for a few miles. I was confused why someone was driving near the speed limit in the right hand lane on such a nice day. I had to get going so I passed and took off.

Nice S though!

wow. that's too bad. I've gotten dozens of nice comments. Being in New Jersey and all it's always surprising to me.

I have a few friends who claimed it was the chick car too. I quizzed them on their knowledge of the 550 Spyder, a mid engine purpose built roadster, and how it was designed specifically to win races for Porsche. They'd never heard of the 550...
That seems to be the theme with folks who call it a chick car, they really don't know much about the brand.

Never experienced this. My Dark Mistress was even red neck approved! I was on my way to the track and got caught up in some stop and go traffic. I had a couple good old boys pull along side me in their rig and say: "Nice"....."dat don sound stack"..I responded: "yah a little of this and little of that". The fellows responded with a yeeeeeah! and went on their way

Mind you the car has a pretty wide stance, black metallic, flat black by-pass exhaust that snaps and crackles like crazy...

Seriously? You claim to have good ole boys in Toronto? I'm calling BS.

Come on down to Georgia and we'll disabuse you of that misconception right away! .

Yes sir I have no doubt!

As I recall I was on the out skirts and the rig actually had a Georgia tag.....but then again I had my 'cheap sunglasses' on
