Funny stuff. I sold a 2003 Cobra with 500 WHP to get this S that I'm driving now. The Cobra was much flashier (conv) and faster. I find the difference is not with me, but other people. I am not joking at the number of people who smart mouth me about my choice in cars. Most say "nice car". Quite a few who act like I'm driving a car that says "I hate poor people" on the side!

Maybe that's why a kid in a beatup SUV tried to spit on my car? I have no idea why anyone would even do that, but he felt the need to slow down, moved to the other lane, rolled down his window and tried to spit on my Porsche. I'm the nicest guy I know

Yeh, I feel you. There are haters out there. Last week when I drove down a busy street, some idiot yelled out , "get a real car". Frickin haters. They're just jealous.

I sold a 1964 Cobra Kit car with 410 hp the get the "S" I'm driving.... Very fast in a straight line but not what I'd want in a road race... 2350 lbs . I gotta tell you that it was fast but no match for the Porsche... the Cobra might jump off the line but that 911 will close in a very short distance.. I've gotten nothing but compliments on the Porsche and never had a problem. Most fun with a car was a 2004 Mustang vert GT... Great car that I never worried about and could take it anywhere..

Ah, I guess these crappy stereotypes come with the territory, I had a kid throw a damn water bottle on my rear quarter panel. Bridesmaid was funny though, and John Hamm played the perfect ****** bag haha

You were hoping to relate to the depiction of a car belonging to a male character in a movie like "Bridesmaids" ? yikes!!!

Ok .. I know nothing about the movie but lets say this character was the nicest guy on the planet .. would there even be a movie at all ?

And since Porsches are generally bought by males do you think that had the guy been driving a VW Beetle Cab with the same personality do you think it would have the same impression on the audience of women (the primary viewers of romantic comedy) ?

Just saw the movie, really funny. The character was a total stereotype, but funny nonetheless. If you watch carefully, you can actually see that the car switches during a scene. When he picks up Kristen Wiig's character on the side of the road, he pulls up in a 911 with the crests on the headrests, but when the scene cuts to them inside the car, there are no crests. Maybe I paid to much attention, lol.

You are very observant - I didn't see that. For me, one of the funnier lines is when Wiig asks him to pull over and he whines, "but there's gravel on the side of the road" - my wife smiled knowingly at me.

You are a very serious man

LOL Good for you.

I had some D-bag key the back of mine a few weeks ago. I was parked in a well lit area, was out of my car for less than an hour. Some people just suck.
