What is the weirdest comment you've ever gotten?

[OklahomaBoxster]

I don't really ever get weird comments... However I get a lot of hate. Saturday, I was going to someones house, and I was just cruising through the neighborhood. I had never been to the house before, so I was looking around at addresses on the mailboxes. I realized that I had driven past the house I was looking for, so I went down the street and turned around. I had my window down, and I thought I had heard something, but I kept going. After I had turned around and was going back down the same street the other way, I noticed some guy on his driveway screaming at the top of his lungs. I stopped to see what he wanted, and he proceeded to scream at me for "speeding" "YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN, WE HAVE KIDS OUT HERE!!" "I was only going 25?" I said. "NO YOU WENT FLYING DOWN THE STREET" "I really was only going 25!" I said. "THATS B**LS**T!!!" he screams. Another guy came out, and I just roll my eyes and start to drive away (slowly, I may add) and the second guy goes, "DON'T BE SPEEDING OFF AND S**T!" :troll:


LOL. I do speed often, but this time I really was going 25. 30 tops. Neighborhood speed limits here are 25. Maybe the throaty/loud sports muffler was the culprit? Or they're just mad that I'm driving a bright red Porsche. Maybe a combo of both. I get people yelling at me all the time in my own neighborhood, however nothing this bad has happened before. There's a special social media site that allows you to form a group with your neighbors, and report crimes and other things that go on around the neighborhood. I'm just waiting for someone to complain about me on there

Based on what other folks here are saying, I guess its weird that I DON'T get weird comments.

Just compliments and envious staring.

I once told a coworker what I paid for my 14 year old Boxster and he refused to believe the price and how old it was. "Yaa...right!" is the response I got.

Sometimes I look at it myself and think the same thing

So now I go along with the perceived cost and elitism attitude that people assume and enjoy the ride with a big smile.

Dumbest comment I've gotten was at a Toyota dealer. Friend wanted to stop by to check out the FR-S (killing time), and the general manager asks if we came in the Miata. Only other car out front was a 370Z. Yeah sure, "20 years in the business" and you can't tell the difference between a Miata and a Boxster? Or was it some sort of slight since two guys came up in a roadster?

Funniest was when I took dad's 964 out. It's a '91 C2 Targa in Guards Red. At a stoplight, I hear a little voice "Mommy, look at that ugly car! Isn't that red car ugly, mommy?" I was in the only red car at the light. I glanced over at the mother, she looked embarrassed.

I had an old lady ask me if it was a Maserati. But my favorite by far was some kid yelling out the window of his rusted out Neon "Boxsters SUCK!!!!". Mind you I was parked at a store over 100 feet from the road and could hear him plan as day. Good set of lungs on that boy lol.

I remember that when I was little I thought that 911s were very very ugly. The carrera gt was a dream car (shows my age) but other Porsche's never looked good to me (I liked BMW z roadsters! Particularly z8.)

However, I saw a boxster for the first time really at a gas station when I was about 11. I thought it was the coolest car in the world.

I quite like 911s now but the over imaginative mind of a child much prefers a Lamborghini.

See, when you have a Porsche you don't need to offer them candy!

I totally forgot about this one. I was at Home Depot last year exchanging a propoane tank and I had the frunk open.

A guy started walking toward me and said excuse me. I've taken the boxster for tank exchanges before and I was sure that this was finally going to be the time that someone asked me if it ran on propane.

Instead he asked if he could take a look at the engine because he's a mechanic and loves checking out porsche engines. He look at me like I was from another planet when I told him that I'd have to put the top in service mode to remove the cover. Then I had to explain what a mid engine was. I should have asked what shop he worked for...

It was years ago, but a guy in a beat up Chevy van with paint splatter all over the back bumper came up while I was filling up with gas and asked me if I wanted to trade vehicles.

I commented that he could make a living with his van and not my car, and if he agreed to swap maintenance and repair costs along with the vehicles I'd probably take him up on the offer!

He paused and said, "I think I'll keep my van"
