I've never heard anything but a compliment from strangers, but the wierdest comments have all come from neighbors and my wife. Buffalo is kind of a blue collar area and getting a 2 seater is out of the norm for people in the neighborhod that I live in.

-One neighbor asked me if I robbed a bank... (I've been in banking for 15 years)
-Another neighbor asked me if I was having a mid-life crisis... (I was)
-I overheard my wife lie to a friend and tell them that I got a crazy deal on the car from a co-worker. We got a good deal on it, but she was somehow embarassed to tell people that we could afford it.

I've gotten the 'Mid-Life crisis comments. If you have greyish hair in a sports car, you have to expect it

Weirdest:
Last Christmas, went to get gas. Finished filling up, guy walks up with the line:
"Just drove up from Delaware. I'm trying to get back but I don't have any money to get gas, can you help out"

My 'I'm being scammed' radar turns on so I say no.
As the guy walks away I hear him say:
"Guy has a Porsche and he can spare any $$"
