I wish I had a hand grenade

san rensho - you're driving a Porsche and angry at someone else for driving an in-your-face, I-have-money vehicle?

In fact, we have a whole pile of Porsche owners here looking down their noses, rather self-righteously, at someone else's choice in a less-than-practical luxury vehicle. Am I the only one seeing the joke here? Seriously?

Aren't those the kind of threads/posts that sparks the Feds to visit citizen with strange ideas?! "I wish" "hand grenades" are keywords that flashes authorities' national security systems these days!

Quick visit by the suits to be expected soon at Crono0001's Palace! Guess you have to vacuum the carpets and shine the coffee cups now

You mean san rensho? (op?)

And, "hide your dog" is the actual warning in situations like this.

Seems we have had theses discussions too...our cars are not in your face as they typically cost less than a Honda accord AND aren't they looked at as girl cars? Lol...how can they be considered a peXXX extender then? Now a twin turbo at 100k plus? Well that could be considered to others as a PeXXX extender!

Everyone seems to like mine! Guys and gals.

It is absolutely a badge of accomplishment / ego inflator. Sitting next to every other beat up Accord on the road, or bashed up DD makes me appreciate that I can afford a 2-dr roadster and still have a Touareg and a truck for work. When your PB is in perfect shape, sounds great, and eats stock 5.0's, it's obvious you have spent cash. As for sales price, I have had a few folks ask if those are very expensive. Then the whole "well, besides the $15k price, how about we add up what I spent this past month in mods and under body skirt sections and brake edge spoilers that a person may never see....but is in there. Thousands."

And, if you think that in every crowd of cars you zip past when enough of a lane opens up, there's not 1-4 prudes that say "what a jerk...he must think he's something!" then you are in denial. I get top down comments at the gas station when it's 39* outside. Once a cop walked past my car, and asked how fast I had gone in it. I replied "you mean here in the city limits??" He laughed out loud!

You know who comments on my car the most? 14-25 yr olds. 14 yr olds just are into liking cars, and these look great. 25 year olds like PORSCHE, and these cars look great. Again, little or no experience with purchase price.

Consider how many thousand cars you can find right now for $3k or WAY less in Anytown, USA. We chose an expensive, impractical car that makes me smile just walking into the garage.
