Geez, between the cars I would get comments over (AE 300ZX turbo, 911SC, and the Boxster S), I have only had 2 people make a car comment to me over the last 10 years.
Does everyone else get people commenting to them all the time?
edit: OK, the more I think about it, I can think of maybe another 5 to 10 times I have gotten a comment over a car but that is still over the last 10 years or so.....

I usually get a comment when I drive. Most of the time I get, "nice car," or "sweet ride." I politely thank them and say something like, "she's fun to drive."

i get somments/compliments on my car all the time...
we first i think its the weird looking color that people look, and then they see that its a porsche, so they gime like thumbs up or some kind of a compliment.
and when people do ask me if its fast, my usual response is "fast enough to get you into some major trouble"

sorry..time for my best comment again!
guy who looked just like Samuel L. Jackson sitting in grid lock traffic next to me during the summer:
"Oh hell yeah!!! hELLL F*@#$' yes. Now that's what I'm mother #$&*@ Talkin' about!"
he even gave me the thumbs up.
that's the only one that has made me laugh so far.

I used to have the same midnight blue/tan as you and agree that when clean, it's quite the eye-catcher.
I also wanted to add that your new avatar pic of the Box in action is great ! Although I think the last time I added something like "live to drive" over a car picture was when I was doodling in my eighth grade geometry notebook.

I don't get all -that- many comments. The most typical is "Nice car," with a smile or a thumbs up. I thank them and move on.

BM,
regarding your new sig, did you tape up your plates? because as I can see in that photo your rear spoiler is activated meaning at some point during your lap (given that it was a sub 45 second course--lots of straight action) you surpassed "the speed" necessary to deploy the spoiler....unless your raised it manually?
those insurance guys are always looking for an excuse to raise rates on a teen age driver. I never post my full name on my lap times. Its usually a character from Animal House.

Thank you! One of the s2000 guys took a pic of me at the auto-x 
The car is black, but I suppose it's hard to tell, huh? Sometimes I envy other colors like midnight blue..
I actually added "Life @ WOT" at the bottom as well...but decided that would be TOO corny
