Just don't lose Max's carpet cleaning van! Who knows what you'd hear.

I think it is an outstanding movie. Vince Vaughn at his finest.

I had two teens getting into their car at mall parking lot yell out "buy a real Porsche!"
Part of me was impressed that a couple mountain dew sippers taking a break from Halo (they had Beiber bowl cuts) even knew to say something like that. Probably just parroting what they heard elsewhere.
Another time I had a cop look at my RA-1s during a check point and make a comment like "well guy if you can afford a Porsche can't you afford some new tires with tread on yhem?" I didn't say a word, I just looked at him blankly.

I have never had any comments against the car ... maybe its from living in Canada?
I have seen a few people laugh when I pull up with the top down when its only 10 degree's Celsius out. I also get a lot of people who rev up right beside me and try race me. Its fun to burst their bubble and slowly pull away or even better yet when they stall. Have had a few pretty good laughs

If I have my dayglo orange track rims on the car, I get thumbs up from little kids, bubbas in big trucks, and anyone else you can imagine. It's awfully gawdy and people love it.
When I put my Carrera lights on the car and drive around with it washed and clean and the top down, I'm just another rich guy driving his sports car.
Go figure.

Here everybody is used to the loud v10 supercar stuff but just never miss that little 986 roadster. e.g some even staring. Dunno what it is with this car... annoying on occasion. Magnet or something.....
Is it just the "little 986 roadster" that gets those inspiring comments from strangers? Never heard of any other car that had so many related 'opinion' and stories lol
