I once had some guy drive past me (as I went into a turn lane) and call me a dumbass.  Not sure what brought that on, but okay Mr. Beanpole in a Beat-up Expedition.

This car attracts a lot of attention. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.
It just comes with the territory

I had a huge laugh with a guy once in a parking lot. I pull up, park the car, ghl exhaust gives to a nice rev/roar...this guy in his big truck gets out, stares at the car with a look of damn that car made that noise...he was impressed. 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..

I had a group of about 5 stoners on a back highway in a very low income area follow me riding my tail crazy close in their Saturn. I just went on at the same steady 5 over or so speed. They swerved trying to pass to the left, then the idiots almost attempted to pass on the right in the grass. I lost them at the next red light by running out the car a bit.

A few years ago we were doing our little Porsche car parade adventure, six cars, just cruising down blvd here and there.
Some gangster drove right pass each of us with his fav finger up - jealous weirdo. Slowly passing by maintaining his finger in the fresh air, he then clipped the leading pcar and accelerated brutally. The thing is... not only he clipped/scared a spanking new Cayman he physically clipped it, as in damages and all :/ We all reved up the pcars and caught the dude a mile down the road.
Here it is legal to bully someone you got into an accident with until the cops arrives to draft their report - without leaving traces of physical abuse of course.
You should have seen this poor dude LOL

Just smile and wave.
Don't chase the same girl he likes and then get in the same parking lot with him.
Ask Jake.

Get more compliments then insults. Comes with the territory. Generally the insults comes from those driving beaters.

There are a lot of haters in the world today - and not just about what car you might be driving. My take is that its either jealousy or ignorance. Its alwasy nice to hit the gas and leave them (and their bad attitude) in the dust.

The best compliment of all is a blind insult.

Guy, you won't believe this. Yesterday some prick called me a hater on the internet
I haven't had anyone yell anything negative yet. Mine usually draws a couple of looks a day. Occasionally, kids will yell stuff like cool car. At least once every couple of weeks I see someone just in slack jawed awe of it. Not bad for a 12 year old car
