Perhaps they've seen you driving your nice car with your lovely GF... and got jealous, who knows. The insecurity among some people just boggles the mind. But at least they didn't bump into the car as someone did with mine: http://986forum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10463

tough Jury/Judge
I recently performed my civic duty for our judicial system and sat on a Jury. This case was over quickily and ended in a Guilty verdict. An individual's 2006 911 was keyed, badly, while parked in a movie theaters parking lot . Seeking compensation from the theater was the intent, only to find that the theater had some excellent video survelance tape, which the Jury saw. There are some prety stupid people in this world. Not only does the tape clearly catch the nut case, but the vehicle from which HE drove and you see emerging from-plates and all. I was surprized to find out this was not your average thug, but an indiviual, one might think, on the list of least likelys' to perform such a dumb act, a local public high school teacher! In addition to paying for the repair-(never new Porsche paint jobs costs so much), he received 250 hrs of community service, is on suspension of his teaching duties, pending school board review, and no doubt a bunch of upcomming negative press. DUMB!

I'm shocked that this person did this. What a shame. Did the teacher explain why he did it?

I had a co worker that just chose to rip on me because I am a NY Jets fan and he started saying that I am trash and that I drive an aftermarket loaded Mazda. I chuckled and responded that I have never owned a Mazda and my Porsche is outside since he is so concerned about what I drive. Then the prick had the audacity to suggest that it is in my Father's name. Another bull**************** comment from an immature idiot. My Boxster is all mine. To top it all off that shut the idiot up in front of about 5 other co-workers.
The next day the idiot tries to apologize and I accept. Then he starts trying to size me up by asking why didnt I buy the 996, what year is my car, and that I should have bought an S. I told the idiot that he needs to size up other people because his jealous comments will not be tolerated. This idiots life must really suck as he drives a BMW that is always in the shop. The funny thing is that shortly after I put him in his place he actually became an alright guy to work with.
Living in Palm Beach Florida, not too many compliments but not too many derogatory comments either. Most people drive nice cars.
