Strangest statement of question

So, I have only officially owned my 997TT for about 48 hours but I have already been stopped and asked some random questions so I figured I would see what everyone else has experienced.

My wierdest statement or question so far is:

"I am in a hurry, can you give me a ride to Munich?" This was asked by a German in Stuttgart which is about 2 1/2 hours away.....

So what is the strangest question of statement about your Porsche?

thenose is infamous around these parts
They are 2 encounters that I remember not because they were strange per se, but I just found them interesting or funny:

1) It happened twice so far: While filling up at a gas station, someone approached me and asked me for a job. One of them told me that he assumed that I was wealthy and probably owned a business. Unfortunately for him and for me, both assumptions were incorrect.

2) While I was retrieving something from the trunk, a guy pulled over and asked me if I needed help: He didn't realize that the engine is in the back and the trunk is in the front ...

I had a girl ask me "Can I have a ride?" and I said "Sure, can I have one too?"
Then she said "Sure, sounds like fun"
Then my wife got into the car beside me, She said "Who was that?"

I've been asked several times by total strangers in different parking lots and gas stations how much the car cost. I find that strange because I would never dream of asking a stranger something like that. And I still haven't come up with a good sarcastic answer because it always catches me off guard.

I have already been asked by 4-5 people, how much the car costs...the only thing I could think of was "enough to pay for it". I walked away and they were confused.

tom, the story about the girl is awesome!

"I love the color, speed yellow is my favorite" I turned to say thanks...he was driving a speed yellow Carrera GT.

"Want to tell me how fast you were going"?..."123"..."Step out of the car sir". That was an expensive encounter.

Here is mine, I posted it on my local PCA Facebook Page:

Funniest traffic stop ever! Cop walks up and says,"Damn those brakes are good! I clocked you doing 86, and then 66 two seconds later!" (My Valentine 1 went off) I say, "Yes sir, Porsche makes it that way on purpose" He tells me "Go ahead just drive safely" lol!

At a gas station, minding my own biz when a really creepy dude walks over and says " you must be some kind of sinner to afford a car like that"

Then he grabbed the window washer out of the bucket and starts to wash the side of his car with it.

It was really weird, couldn't get out of there fast enough.

I've been pulled over by a cop for looking like I was going fast, but he didn't catch me on radar and couldn't give me a ticket. Does that count?
