Never had someone ask if my car was anything along the lines of a Toyota Spyder or Firebird, but since I also run a naked rear I have been asked if my car is a 911 a few times.

I am amazed at how many similar incidents I've had. Old couple at Sam's thought it "cute." That sorta hurt. But they were parking out in no man's land like I was, so they probably love their Buick a lot. Maybe they remember their Stutz Bearcat! 
Babe at gas station driving a huge Titan in Wilmington, NC . I got the "what is that?" line followed by a knowing nod when I told her. She "hoped to see me around." Yeah, I let her get away without getting her number thinking I really might see her at another gas station. Mrs Sixter woulda been p*ssed anyway. :ah:
And teenagers, mostly boys, give me a lot of thumbs up and "how fast will it go?" No idea if they know what it is. Got a thumbs up over the shoulder from one yesterday as they passed me in the passing lane in a hot looking Toyota PU.

Yesterday my wife told me her boss had been on the way to work and saw a nice sports car and said, "hey, nice car" then she saw the driver and said "hey, nice looking guy"...then she said "oh, that's Susan's husband!"...that made my day.

Unless you removed the badge on your front trunk, your front trunk says PORSCHE!
