Dumbest comment I've gotten was at a Toyota dealer. Friend wanted to stop by to check out the FR-S (killing time), and the general manager asks if we came in the Miata. Only other car out front was a 370Z. Yeah sure, "20 years in the business" and you can't tell the difference between a Miata and a Boxster? Or was it some sort of slight since two guys came up in a roadster?

Funniest was when I took dad's 964 out. It's a '91 C2 Targa in Guards Red. At a stoplight, I hear a little voice "Mommy, look at that ugly car! Isn't that red car ugly, mommy?" I was in the only red car at the light. I glanced over at the mother, she looked embarrassed.

I had an old lady ask me if it was a Maserati. But my favorite by far was some kid yelling out the window of his rusted out Neon "Boxsters SUCK!!!!". Mind you I was parked at a store over 100 feet from the road and could hear him plan as day. Good set of lungs on that boy lol.

I remember that when I was little I thought that 911s were very very ugly. The carrera gt was a dream car (shows my age) but other Porsche's never looked good to me (I liked BMW z roadsters! Particularly z8.)

However, I saw a boxster for the first time really at a gas station when I was about 11. I thought it was the coolest car in the world.

I quite like 911s now but the over imaginative mind of a child much prefers a Lamborghini.
