Falling victim to a speed trap here in So. Cal., and in middle of doing some radio up-grades; so radio missing; as the Police Officer was handing me my ticket, he noticed the missing radio and said- "Ha, just like you Prosche guys to remove a $1000,00 dollar radio, just to save a little weight"!

Haha, nice. I would have said "It was stolen... Maybe it wouldn't be missing if you guys weren't wasting so much time writing up traffic violations."

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

I had a guy pull up next to me at a gas station as I was filling up. I could hear him tell his son..."Look at him, he's putting his gas in the front, must go directly to the engine..." He was missing several teeth...

Pulled up to a hotel, parked and and opened front & rear trunks for the bellman to retrieve the bags when an elderly couple looked quizzically and asked, "where's the engine?" With a straight face, I said, "It's solar powered". They smiled, nodded and said, "nice".

Another time when getting gas around dusk, a woman approached me and asked, "Does your car change colors?"

Fellow Ocean Blue owners know what I'm talking about.

Another Ferrari

I was driving through a local Park and as I passed a couple riding their bikes I heard the guy say to the girl, "That's a Ferrari".

paper towels

We had just gotten back from Target, and I was pulling big pack of paper towels from the front trunk, while my wife was grabbing the rest of the bags from the back. A guy walking down the street stopped and asked
"did i just see you pull paper towels out of your engine?"

Last year I was traveling to Fort Leonard Wood from Florida, it got late and severe weather had moved in and I decided that I better find a place to rest for the night, I was about 100 miles north of Metropolis and saw a Holiday Inn, I pulled in under the canopy and as I was checking in, the news was on and they said golf ball hail was expected, as I gasped, the lady at the counter ask what was wrong, I said I didn't have a car cover and I was concern the hail was going to damage my car, she looked out and ask is that your car? staring at my nice black Boxster, I said yeah, she said, you know, our shuttle bus is in the shop and you are more than welcome to park in its vacant spot (under the canopy) and besides we'll be able to keep an eye on it for you, best compliment I could have ever imagine, to that lady, THANKS, to any Holiday Inn Excecs that may be on this forum, THANKS for hiring folks like that.
