Here are a few I have had people ask me in the past 2 years of ownership:

"Is that a Ferrari?"

"Is that a Turbo?"

"Is that Supercharged? That is what the S means, right?"

"How fast does it go?"

"Have you maxed it out yet?"

"How much did your parents buy it for?

"Is it yours?"

"Whats the dyno on it?"

"Oh you got a Porsche, so you must be making bank, right?"

"You got your girlfriend because you impressed her with your car, right?"

"Are the maintenance costs killng you?

Everyone is shocked when I tell them I bought it for $9700 with the money I made in Pizza Delivery and that I regularly track my car and that I got my gf when I was driving a 96 Mazda Protege before the Porsche. And that I do all maintenance and repairs on my own with cheap parts bought online. The life of a Boxster owner can be Exciting.

That pretty much sums it up...

One thing I always say is "you are siting on a PORCH!"
