LOL... there are some small town attitudes in PA.
I personally never mention what I own unless needed. Even then I say I have an
old Porsche. A lot of people think these are still
very expensive cars and I'm quick to point out that it cost less than their new mini van or truck. (or just about any new car)
ETA... Bob nailed it.

My Audi's, MB, or any other car over the years doesn't seem to get this reaction. I would say the reaction I get is either snottyness or they get quiet. I don't know if it's jealousy, insecurity or what??? It makes no sence why a P-car brings this very unattractive quality out in some people. It's just in a small percentage of people but it is consistent enough for me to recognize a pattern. I remember this reaction years ago with my last 911 but it wasn't till my recent 911 that I noticed this anomaly again. What is protocol in this situation?????
