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.
