On the good side:
I gave my wife's Professor (Medical School) a ride and afterwards he told his wife that he really liked the ride in my Ferrari.
Obviously not a car guy, but still a very nice compliment

On the bad side:
I gave a guy who came in for a job interview a ride to go to lunch and he kept on boasting about his BMW 330i. At the end of the ride he asked me: is this a 2 liter engine (and yes he was serious)

I guess he didn't get the job.

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.

Took my car down to a friend's shop on Saturday. It's a local, family owned place that a lot of hot rodders frequent. We had the car inside when a guy driving a Chevy Dually tow-rig came in, carrying a melted HEI distributor.

He said "Who's Porsche"?

I said "Mine".

He said "Hmmmm, the Porsche for guys who can't afford a real Porsche".

I said "No, the Porsche for guys who can afford any Chevrolet they want, but have more sense".

My friends snickered and he stalked off.

At the local ST. Louis PCA DE I had a few ask me if it was a CGT or a CGT body kit. Nope just the Aero Kit 1

Another time I had a guy ask at the parts store of all places ask me "who makes Porsche now Dodge?".

A few have asked if it was a ferrari or just plain asked what the heck is it. It got so bad for a while I thought about putting the badge back on the back. Then I thought......NAH!
