You are totally right.....but EVERY SINGLE 911 owner is thinking just that. LOL.

I even got blown up by a 981 Boxster owner. He parked next to me at Lowes. He and his wife are sitting in their (his) car as I leave the store and I get into mine.

Me: "Hey there! No fair with a new shiny one!"
Him: "Yeah....I upgraded. But yours is OK."
Note: Wife actually looks fairly horrified by this comment.
Me: "Awesome! Have a great day!!..." (Not said...."....one with small wiener")

So even our own eat their young....LOL.

"So even our own eat their young....LOL" Yes, apparently sometimes they do.

Witnessing a few members here belittle and blast owners of different makes / models in order to feel better about themselves and their cars is imo pretty poor form. It amazes me that some are unable to realize it truly feeds the stereotype.

I live in Florida 20 min from the beach. Seeing a Porsche is not that uncommon. So no one really pays attention...until I rev up the ghl exhaust!

Why Thank You. Maybe I'll come up with something original, like a silver Porsche

Just funnin' with you Timco, my Porsche is silver also. I'm not usually the type to enjoy raining on parades but I do like to point out the obvious sometimes.

BTW....I've actually had a few positive comments on my avatars, they're rather unique imo....

I wasn't serious in any way either. I laugh at your avatars. It was the obvious answer to your comment.
