Coolness is sitting at a stoplight and having thirty vintage Corvettes give you the as they pass in front going on a drive.

 

When I got my first S, the first drive I went on (didn't know about S2Ki yet) was with the DC Porsche Club - some friends were members. The S was a pretty new car then and there weren't many around. It got lots of attention!

 

Last night I walked up on a lady that was looking my S over. She had never seen one and wondered if it was a 2010 model. Coolness is telling her it was 7 years old!

Same thing happened to me in 1983, except it was with my 1973 Mustang convertible.

Guess I keep my cars up better then the average owner.

 

Similar story here: On the way down to the Wintergreen Spring Fling, Virginija and I stopped at a post office in Berkeley Springs. I watched a little old lady S-L-O-W-L-Y back her car in, right next to the S. As she got out, she said to me "I was careful to not hurt your new car". I smiled as I told her it was 6 years old, but thanks for being careful.

At the Lake George meet last year, we stopped into a gas station and some guy in a truck wondered where all the Porsche's came from.

 

 

Coolness is pulling into a gas station and having the owner of the Porsche 997 at the pump in front of you spend the entire time gushing over your car

 

Very cool indeed!

Coolness is stopping at a scenic overlook and meeting Jacques Villeneuve who happens to be vacationing nearby and having him ask if you would mind if he tried out your S (with you riding shotgun of course).


If it ever happens to me I'll be sure to post a note here.
