| | A funny thing happened to me today..
So, I was sitting outside my wifes office waiting for her to finish and drive her home when I noticed a shady looking character observing my car. I didn't think to much of it but kept an eye on him just in case. He then started looking around and moving closer to the car. "Maybe I'm about to get jacked," I thought as he walked upto the car window. He then reached into his jacket, "This is it" I thought, but my fears were unfounded as he proceeded to pull out a camera.
He then asked me if it was ok to take a picture of the car which I thought was nice. He was so happy I said yes that he was giggling. I even got out and said he could sit in it and I would take his photo. He wanted to send a pic back to his friend in India. I happily obliged in his photo session.
The best part of the meeting was as he was getting out of the car, he turned to me and said, "It's a BMW, isn't it?" to which I replied, "No, it's a Porsche."
It made me laugh on the way home but also made his day.

She is a nice baby! Lucky you don't live close.... I would have been harassing you for a ride!
I went to my prom in a similar Porsche, felt very good indeed.... I don't remember much of the prom itself... very boring, but I still remember very well the Porsche!
My dad used to have a Corvette. Something very similar to this picture with two side exausts. | This user would like to thank Nil for this useful post: | |

Whenever I see a car like that, I take a look at the driver and lo and behold, I usually see
- a middle-aged / older man
- more bald than not (and the rest is grey)
- has a gut that barely fits behind the steering wheel
- wearing a nice shirt
- and trying to be so cool behind his sunglasses
and suddenly the car loses its magic touch.
