Stop it man!!! I'm getting all self conscious and defensive inside.

I've come to terms with this and have accepted that most people on the street will think I'm a douche in my boxster. I've learned to get over it and be happy because I know (at least I think) I'm not and my love for my car supersedes the paranoia. So "F" the guy in his boring Ford Focus or Honda Civic who sneers at me without knowing me. I enjoy what I drive.

*also raises hand*

No matter what your passion in life is there will always be voices of dissent tearing at your choices. You spend a long time in the ground, our hobby doesn't hurt anyone and many of us relax with a wrench in our hand and some grease around.

My girlfriend realized that if you make a stupid maneuver while driving a normal car, people around here take it personally. If you do it in a Boxster, they already think your an arsehole from the get-go and just basically ignore you. sounds like a win to me!

They can think what they want, I'm just happy they all move over for me when I'm flying up the mountain passes.
