Just curios how you handle all the questions about your cars. People want to know what it is, car buffs know what it is, but do you tell it’s dirty little secret?

When I was loading my new to me Coupe on to the trailer at the Rental yard, this guy rolls up in his Audi A6 and asks if I want to sell it. “Nope, just got it” I said. He speculated that I paid between 80-90k as he got closer to the car. I realized he was the car buff guy, so I divulged the truth. Turns out he likes all kinds of replicas, Ferrari’s, etc,. My neighbor is a car buff with 4 Hot Rods and 4 Harley’s stuffed into his garage. He came to the house the next morning to see my new toy. He recognized it as a Porsche. I told him to listen as I thunked the front fender with my finger. “Yep” he says, “Solid steel” Wait, what? What do you say when asked?

I did that at the local gas station last week, when a lady who had pulled in behind me asked what year it was.  "1957!" I replied.

"OMG!  That's the same year I was BORN!" she fires back.  "Can I look at it?"

It went downhill from there.  Fortunately, I managed to get out of there five minutes later explaining that the beer I just bought would be getting warm.  Last time that happened at a gas station the lady was Sue Cowsill and SHE ended up buying a used VS.....  And I think she's still driving it around Portsmouth, RI.
