My experience in Atlanta has been much different. In the northern suburbs, but still inside the perimeter ("ITP" in Atlanta speak), I park my car often with the top down at grocery store or LA Fitness, etc., and no issues at all. Around here it rarely even gets a second look or any attention at all, which is fine with me.

However, I do usually try to park close to a building in those diagonal type parking spaces or in an end space next to a curb to provide as much room as possible to the adjacent car. Perhaps parking far away from everyone is a red flag that attracts a certain element anywhere.

It may be this is the closest they will get to seeing an actual sports car…unless we are sitting in traffic. That is what the rearview mirror is for - put them in it!

The natives are getting restless and we "look like" 1 percenters in our Pcar! I do Real Estate and was asked, "How many little old ladies did you take advantage of to get that car?" Nobody asked me that in a Mercedes - they KNEW the answer!

It is a good day when a little scratch buys you SO MUCH CAR!! They are just mad they did NOT THINK of buying one too! Besides, they mainly have only seen the back - when they see the rest of the car...jealousy kicks in! I will be kicking something else IF I catch someone touching my girl in an inappropriate way. They can look….

I used to live on Jimmy Carter Blvd I know about the hot dogs they don't sell up north and their attitudes about yankees.

I get the same thing. But I work in Federal Law Enforcement, and people ask me much worse questions. If they did a little research, they could find one for less than they are spending on their new Chargers, or Mustang GT's..... Oh well, I wouldn't want them to start showing up in every parking lot...:D
