Usually when I am feeling grumpy and it makes my day.

Thu I was at a stoplight in my LE and a crumpled 10 yr old Camry pulls up next to me in the right turn lane. Middle aged guy asks me what yr it is. I said 2008. He says it looks nice. Well yeah, next to your beat up Camry.

Its a pretty regular occurrence for me. Its just not the kind of car you can pick your nose while youre driving it. I can remember reading, a lot, how folks refer to the Boxster as a 'chick car', 'poor mans' 911', 'a hairdressers' car' ect but its usually white males 30s to 40s (my exact demographic) who say something and ask questions (I always find that interesting). I must admit doing a mild cut and buff of a neglected clear coat (I dont think the previous owners ever cut and buffed the car) only made the compliments and looks more regular.

I was told how nice my car looks this evening, only problem it was from a policeman who had just pulled me over for going 47 in a 30. Stupid mistake, car had just warmed up and I wanted to wind it up a little. Good news is he let me off with a warning since I've been ticket free for a good while.
