Some people park that way just because they know it causes the sports car owner consternation, now what pleasure they get from doing that is a mystery. I have not parked anywhere but outdoor cafes where I can see the car. To my complete shock everyone has been respectful of it, even next door parkers! It gets a lot of photos but nobody has been malicious.

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 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...
