I have found something really interesting with my 996 gt3...people 99 percent of the time LOVE the car and actually will either move out of the way or let me go first at intersections etc...I have NO idea whats up with this behavior. I cant count the amount of thumbs up and questions that I get about the car and its kinda creeping me out...as I havent ever had this with any other car. That said, I definitely got flipped off a couple of days ago for running pretty close to a guys bumper who was blocking an otherwise empty freeway. Whatever...

I'd definitely give you a thumbs up if I saw your GT3!

Rep Power: 71 sorry to hear about the crabby people out there. i, too am in seattle. i've not experienced the same thing that you have though. i've actually had the opposite in both the boxster and the 996. but then again, ours are 986's and 996's. not TT's. or, it may be that i'm a girl driving. maybe it's my pink calipers. haha!
either way...i think it's the same people that are crabby and yelling things at you that would be of the mentality to key scratch nice cars for no reason. they are probably unhappy with life in general, have black cloud hanging over them....or like bojan (seattle996) said.....STARBUCKS! =D
be proud of your accomplishments and as long as you know you're not doing anything wrong.....then don't worry. they are probably that way towards everyone/everything.
ps bojan...do you play the "i'm too sexy for my car" song while you're driving?? wink*

And thanks, but still...I would have expected a much more a-hole response like you have been having. Go figure.

Jody, I'm a Monroe boy at heart.., we only care about the simple things. Heres an excerpt, add it to your mp3's..
Well she ain't into cars or pick up trucks
But if it runs like a Deere man her eyes light up!!
She thinks my tractor's sexy
It really turns her on
She's always staring at me
While I'm chuggin along
She likes the way it's pullin' while we're tillin' up the land
She's even kind of crazy 'bout my farmer's tan
She's the only one who really understands what gets me
She thinks my tractor's sexy
Anyways, people have given me the finger when I'm coasting in neutral on my good ol' deere, what is up with that??!!
