N then as he looked at me, I hit the lock button twice and this little tiny beep goes off to set the alarm and he looks at me and says...wow, that all you get? We cracked up. Damn horn.

I never got anything from anyone other than that...two 986, both with throaty exhausts, etc...never got a look or anything. But I do live n Florida where just about every third car is something cool.
I met a friend at a sports bar. As I'm pulling into the lot he waves me over so I park the car but since I had the bike on the rear of the car I decided to park rear end in. The Fabspeed exhaust is very loud and makes a racket. On the other side of the parking lot is a fat guy in a white Trans Am. He takes exception to my noise making and sarts revving his car really loud and starts yelling, "ya hear that?! " ..... revs the car some more "ya hear that? This is what a real car sounds like!!?"
My friend starts laughing and points out that its a convertible Trans Am..

Another time I was stuck in a jug handle waiting to merge onto the highway.
As we went under this overpass my loud exhaust got the attention of these two tough looking guys in a minivan directly behind me. They got offended apparently. As we merged minivan guy jumps around the outside and cuts me off while his passenger stares at me with a dirty look.
I just pulled up next to them and smiled right back at them.

Some people are weird..
