Annoying comments made about you f-car....

Um, one of the worst comments ever made about my Porsche, "Is that one of them new Celicas?"

Ahhhh, ran to cover my car's ears! Poor baby, don't listen to that bad man...you promise to start, don't you?

Anyway, one of the nicest comments was, "That's one of the new Porsches, isn't it?" Not bad for a 20 year old car.

And then the worst by a cop, the day I was registering her, "This is a stripped Porsche, thought it was stolen!" Poor thing! She wasn't stripped, just missing the numbers for the back, duh!

Goes on and on, but we all know that! The higher end the Exotic, the wierder the reactions!

Jealousy is not a good thing. Wastes precious time.

But people just don't realize that they have more of a chance to afford their favorite Exotic than winning the Lottery!

Oh and when asked what it cost just tell them this particular model can be purchased for under 1 million

 

Hey there Frank, it has been unusually quiet in the Louisiana section eh?

Must be that the weather is so nice right now that everyone is driving instead of talking about driving!

 

John, I've missed the last couple of drives trying to get these houses ready to be sold, we probably won't have anything until after mother's day since this weekend is looking like a washout I did order all sorts of stuff from Griot's Garage to get the 348 cleaned up

 

Nothing wrong with getting the car a nice makeover in the garage while it is raining outside. I am sure that it makes the anticipation that much better when the skies finally clear!

 

LMAO...that is hilarious! I'm noting these responses for the next time I encounter the ubiquitus stupid question....

How about:

"How fast does it go?" (don't know...speedo's disconnected)

and my personal fav...
"Did your husband get you into this sport?" (NO! No husband! I got into it myself! Arrrghhh! Assumptions! Grrr....)

Josie and I were on a drive with Bruce and Andrea about a month ago. We were in the F-cars and we pulled into a gas station to fill up. Bruce was waiting ahead in his TR while I was getting the 328 gassed up and the attendant started to make comments. He said, in a sarcastic tone, "I wonder what his insurance must run.' Ridiculous!" all the while not noticing that I was in a Ferrari also. I just nodded in agreement and laughed. I guess a bright yellow TR would distract one from most things.

 

"Damn, you must be rich" Reply: Even better... I'm hung like a horse too

followed by:

"Is it really yours?" Reply: Depends. Who am I

"How much do you make a year?" (Reply: Not enough)

"Where do you live?" (Where do YOU live?) and

"Burn The Tires" (Do you know how much tires cost???)

 

Q. What kind of gas mileage do you get?

A. I don't really know.

 

Some intentionally, obnoxious, potential responses-- off the top of my head:

* Meh... I can live with that
* Oh, speaking of being disgusted, please have a breath mint. Wait, take two.
* You say that, like it's a BAD thing. then giggle... (Don't forget to include the eye roll)
* Granted it's not a flying broom... but seriously-- GREAT costume! Happy Halloween
* Oh, a psychic? How much did I spend?
* Oh, you think I had to pay for this... It was a ____ (bonus, gift)
* I won it in Vegas
* My Ex paid for it
* I'm sure there are people who care about your opinion. Don't see any here, but I'm sure there out there somewhere.
* You chose to wear THAT in public?
* Weren't you on TV?? Yes, I saw you at that G.A.L rally. You look more butch in person, and much more fit on TV.
* Menopause flaring up, I see?
* Try Midol
* You appear to have too much time on your hands.
* Are you mad? LOL
* Why? As they start explaining... Interrupt and clarify, No, I meant Why do you think it matters to me? Who are you?
* Let me guess, you're a motivational speaker.

 

My Response:
"You REALLY need to start dating men that have a job."

To the P3nis comments:
"Well 9 inches is a bit small I guess"

To all others: "Nobody cares" (said in a quick and dismissive tone)

 

Non of the verbal stuff bothers me a bit...I just make like I can't hear them.

Works every time!!!

What REALLY pisses me off is when I PURPOSELY park out in the corner of a parking lot and some ********* in a POS car has to park even remotely near me.

IDIOTS!!!!

 

Interesting gravedig.

- Yes you get tired of "How much does it cost?"

I always answer "Not a lot but is worth every penny!"

- I hate when people look at the dash and always point to the last number on the speedo and think that is the maximum speed.

Usually people are very nice and I like to talk about the car. Most of the time is fun questions. I hate being rude to people but sometimes I feel like just saying: "Google!" haha...

My business partner daily drive a LP560-4 and he also has a lot of fun with questions lol

 

Recently a guy walked up as I was filling my 328 at a local gas station. He asked if the car was mine and I replied in the affirmative.

He said, in a derogatory tone, "I like the older ones better."

I responded with a smile, "I do too!"

I guess that was all he had to say. He turned and walked away.
