996 Turbo / GT2 Turbo discussion on previous model 2000-2005 Porsche 911 Twin Turbo and 911 GT2.

Do you guys get 'harassed' everytime you drive your car? (and other good car stories)

My kids are here for their summer visit, and I have a nanny that's living with me. She's driving my G550 and apparently she gets hit on by a lot of guys while driving it or when parked. Doesn't really happen so much in her Honda........

Throughout these 3 months owning my Vantage, the harassment level as only risen in New Jersey.
I was taking a joyride with my son down route 9 when this completely beat Lexus from around 1990 tries to race us at every light.
He kept pushing around 90-100 every light just to show off. Acts like this is just complete disrespect.
Does it make them feel better that they can do 0-60 in 8 seconds? Or....

I get a lot of mustangs, honda's, bmw's trying to race me all the time.

As for cops I got pulled over last Sunday driving to my pick up groceries as there was a car in front of me turning left and I didn't edge up to go since it was red. I don't get cops, some tell me to go some tell me not to go, unless it's excuse to chit chat.

It was never this bad with my 996TT, my Z06 or any of my ///M cars.

I'm honestly not instigating it by driving crazy or aggressively. I've actually been staying in the right lane and staying within the speed limit a lot lately.

Are you any of you guys noticing this as well? Is it a maybe function of the current economy? It's not like I'm driving an extremely flashy car like a Lambo or Ferrari or anything.

Thoughts?
Not at all in my 996tt. Sometimes I might get egged on by "lesser" cars, but I will indulge just to have some fun and throw a thumbs up, it does not happen often though. But when I had my 996 C4 a lot of bimmers would want to run me. In the s2000 I got picked on my corvettes and m3's all the time, got pretty annoying.

I had a riced up Jetta want to race me light to light but I wouldn't do it. When we got to the next light & I made the roll down your window motion & the kid rolled down his window with his girlfriend sitting next to him, I told him wow that thing is fast & how many turbo's does that car have in it? & I said that's kind of what I thought "nadda" & I told him I had two, the look on his face was priceless & a little embarassing with his girl sitting next to him. She looked like she wanted to jump in my car after that....love it!

you should have said to him that to make it fair, you would take his girlfriend in the car to add weight, then takeoff and make her giggle. Never slow down and go out for drinks and dinner

Another long-ago thread I'm replying to while trying to find a recent thread I posted, but I have a pic so I figured I'd reply. If she sees this I've lost a babysitter forever.....

She's second from left.
