What have you done to break the stereotype?

I have a bad habit of picking up hitchhikers. Anytime I stop for one in the Porsche they always comment about thinking it was odd to see a Porsche stop. When I give a ride in my old pickup I hardly ever get asked for a couple dollars just a thanks for the ride. In the 911 or the boxster I am running about 90% for "hey could you spare a few dollars" I tell them Porsche maintenance is expensive.

Last hitchhiker I picked up was when I was driving back to college, top down in a '72 TR6. He was just a kid like me walking along the side of the highway. After we got rolling down the freeway he tapped me on the shoulder and rolled up his pant leg to show me a big pig sticker strapped to his calf, "just wanted to show you this so you'd know I could kill you" he said. When I first saw the knife I began speeding up not knowing what would come next, so I said to him, "Just wanted to let you know that were doing over 90, and a quarter turn of this steering wheel, and we're both dead. He looked at me and rolled his pant leg back down. It was one very weird drive for me over the next hour or so. I let him out in a really bad part of Kalamazoo at his request, and that's the last I saw of him. Needless to say, I was cured of picking up hitchhikers.
