Chicks think they are cute, cops think they are cute, angry disenfranchised youth think they are a symbol of everything they hate, rice rockets always want to race, 8 yr old boys love the sound they make, your co-workers think you make too much money, 997 Carrera S and Lamborghini owners get really annoyed when you drive around them at the track. (that last part is my personal favorite part)

Except the "on the track" part. Haven't done that ...yet.

Quiet in Dayton

You'd think that a Guards Red Porsche would get attention, but not around here. Once in a while I'll get a second look from a lady or a child. The men seem to prefer pickup trucks with loud exhausts. I recently took a thousand mile round trip into New England and although the only Porsche I saw was a 912, my Boxster got virtually no attention whatsoever. And, I like it that way.

Not too different than most on here. I get the occasional compliment at a light or in a parking lot. I've never been asked why I didn't get a 911. No negative attention, no extra attention from police, etc. And yes - every ricer with and Mustang want to race. I don't.
