Most interesting passenger comments

[Clark Griswald]

What interesting comments have you recieved from first time 911 passengers?

Here is a few I have had:

"This is like..a...a...a....Toy!"

"Oh My!" - During an autocross

"Can you get me one?" - My mom

Thinking back it was the tone of the comments as much as the words. These were all delivered with cold, complete sincerity.

Let's hear yours.

"I thought Volkswagen discontinued the Bug?"

[wckrause]

"I don't like it, but I can see how you would" -- my mother-in-law

"Can we get the headliner fixed" -- my wife

[xtianw]

"How long is this going to be in the garage"

'81 SC Targa

[cab83_750]

From a 10-year old boy who grew up around Supra Turbo, Nissan ZX, and other sports car and never said a word about the non-P cars ....
"Dad, this car sticks to the road! Can I have it as my first car!"

My mind felt like the smiley below (I did say yes, though).

[911]

On public roads:

"Damn, you drive so slow!!! I thought you said you raced?"

I must confess that I drive like a granny on the road (although if I see a quick bend I WILL take it fast!).

On the track:

"@$%^@%^@!" - wife

"@$%^@%^@!" - sister

"@$%^@%^@!" - me (when my friend almost lost it at the Streets of Willow)

"Do you want a new girlfriend?" -- wife of best friend, after first demo ride.

"Can I drive it? -- same person, right after above 'offer' ...

Emphatic 'NO!' to both questions!

"Step on it, you have a Valentine One." - My wife

[jbripps]

From a buddy after a quick punch in second:
"I think my nuts just shrunk"


From another buddy:
"You're pretty fly for a white guy"

And my favorite from many:
"is this brand new?"

I got a kick out of those. Many others, but won't bore you.

the spelling), and some other stuff that packs some more power.

How about some body language. As I showed my dad how the pcar will push on an entrance ramp, he had a handful of dash and a handful of door handle. Looked like he was trying to climb out the sunroof. I can't seem to spell the sounds he made. Of course, when we were safely back on earth he said the car was cool.

"Does it have heated seats?"

From a friend:

"This thing is pure sex."

From a 356 driver:

"This thing sure is heavy!"

My favorite line came after an ex-girlfiend that had her first ride in my `85 911 wanted to get out: "where is the ****** door handle in this thing!?!"

From my neighbor

This car is a volkswagon on steroids.

[ghanlon]

How about
"I think I left a wet spot on your leather seats when the turbo kicked in!?"
and, by the same woman.
"Can we "do it" on the hood"?

The non-flattering ones are funniest...

"Sounds just like a VW bug!" (old college buddy, his first ride in a 911, many years ago when the crapola Bursch muffler was on the car)

"What's that smell?" (wife)

"These seatbelts suck" (wife)

"The ride isn't too bad, I guess" (72 year old father-in-law)

"Why are your gauges crooked? What's wrong with them, can't you straighten them out?" (same in-law)

"Feels like I'm riding a skateboard" -my dad, he tells everyone that

"Can I Drive" EX-girlfriend

"My mom yells at me everytime I go around a turn fast like you" Ex-girlfriend

"You were driving a fricken minivan!!!" Me replying to the above statement.

Not from a passenger, but:

I pulled into a Sonic and placed my order.
A little gal came out on roller skates to deliver it. She was, maybe, 16.

"Cooool....Is this a Porsche?"
"It sure is."
"I've wanted one of these my WHOLE life...!!"
