I drive a Porsche

so as I go to pick up my daughter from her mom's house, I get out of my car and these two young kids (14/15yr old skaters) stop and say "Nice Porshe" to me... well, I was in a hurry and walking away so instead of educating the next generation on how cool old Datsun Z-cars are, I just said "thanks" and ran off.
So ya... that's only the 2nd time my car as been called a Porsche in the 10 years I've had it. Its also been called a Corvette before.

I do run with no emblems though... except for the Z emblem on the hood which was stolen...

haha! You got the respect of owning a Porsche, without the actual bitchy Porsche car.

I was also dressed for work. Khakis and collared shirt... like a true Porshe owner! I just needed my 80's sunglasses and I'd be set. (they were in the center console)

I had guy at a national chain garage (when I first got the car) ask me if the "RX-7" was mine. Pissed me off a bit. Did have a guy at a Circle K once ask what year Corvette it was. Morons!!

Sweeet!! Actually not that surprising.....I read somewhere that the Ferrari 250GTO was one of the cars that influenced the styling of the 240Z (along with Toyota 2000GT and Jaguar E type).

BTW, my 350Z has been mistaken for a Porsche a couple times....
