Comments You've Received on your Boxster

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.

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".

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.

My neighbor had a Mustang LX with a 5 point O... and when I got the Boxster, he asked me "what does that thing have.... a 2 litre 4 banger." I just smiled and told him, "Naw this is the one with the 3.2 6 cylinder."

He's a nice guy, but sure doesn't think past the Blue Oval.

We have been having a lot of work done on the house recently, and last week, two different workmen who were there (not affiliated) said to me, “is that your Porsche? I prefer the 911.” The first time it happened, I just rolled my eyes and directed the guy to the rock wall I wanted him to replace. The next day when the deck refinisher guy said the same thing, I asked him if that is the car he drives. Apparently, he opted for a 2003 base Tundra instead.

That's why you're doing whatever you do (I'd assume a white-collar profession) and he's a construction worker.

I had just finished washing the car one day last summer when the three little boys from the apartment downstairs went running around the corner of the building making a lot of noise when they came to a dead stop right in front of the car.

Their eyes were wide open and one of them let out a soft "wow" to break their silence.

...And then they went running on around the other side of the building yelling and hollering.

Those few seconds of silence from the otherwise loud boys were the best comments I've had.
