What Kind of Attention Does Your Car draw?

[ProjectM96]

I get looks all the time.

Lots of little kids staring and pointing.

I also get looks from adults and teens.

Last week, this guy nearly stopped his Lexus SC430(our competitor) in the middle of the road to watch me drive passed him. He made me laugh. I saw him eyeing my car in his mirror and out his window.

I also get teens looking and pointing from their Scion's when I drive by.

I do get the occasional look and compliment on the car. The car is in great shape and is red so I guess that tends to attract.

In three years I've not been pulled over pull in the boxster, but I've been pulled over twice in my pickup BS no tickets. So the ploilce in Pa seem to leave us alone. I get allot of doubletakes. Hondas with big mufflers WRX s and Eclipse seem to all think they are your match. F250 with huge tires allway want to screw with you? haven't quite figured that out yet. but it ammusing.

F250 with huge tires ? Sounds like "Good old Boys" from NC. Don't mess with them. They hate Porsches and drink Moonshine.

I did get one funny comment not too long ago from a little girl down the street. She's maybe 5 or 6 years old and was playing with her friends in her front yard. When I stopped at the stop sign (they live on the corner), she waved and then yelled "your sports car sure is shiny".

Her referring to it specifically as a sports car struck me as a funny comment coming from such a small girl. I told her thanks.

I live in a fairly small town and my 2000 base Boxster gets more attention than I ever thought it would. I agree with the others about the surprising number of people in big trucks that want to race me. It happens often and I don't get it.
