I think that by the end of our conversation he was ready to stop at the dealer for a test drive.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I decided to ski Thurs. and Fri. at Loon Mtn. in the White Mtns. As I pulled into the parking lot next to an SUV and older man said, "nice Porsche, great way to get to the mountain".I mentioned it was a nice way to go and better that I didn't get a ticket on the way.
After 4 hours on the hill, I was approached by several Asian skiers who were getting their instuctors certification, and they approached my 99 911 with broad grins and pointing at my Porsche giving me a thumbs up. They loved my exhaust sound(FisterD) when I started my car and thought it was pretty nice as I left.
Hours later, same day, I was going to my car after shopping for food and beer at the local grocery store, and an older gentleman was eying my 911, walking around it as I came closer. He said, nice Porsche, what model is it (my Carrera badge is not on) ? I told him it was a basic Carrera, MY99 and he was astonished. He also said he just bought a MY 06 Cabrio from Calif. and it was being delivered soon.
In 3 years of ownership, I haven't had this many positive compliments...it really made my day.
Don't you love it!!! Not to hijack the thread from awhile ago, but a wave from another 996/997 driver is just as good... like the one I got yesterday from an '03 TT...

Sweet! I remember the first time someone complimented me on my Porsche--I had never had anyone compliment me on my car. I was so shocked I didn't know how to respond! Loon--a great little mountain. I also loved Sunday River.
That is Great, a compliment on your car is always a great thing! I remember last summer there were a few times when I would be stopped at a light and a car would pull up, and for some reason I would always get the same question....."Excuse me, What kind of Car is that?" and of course I would say a Porsche 911, and they would always be "Wow, that is a beautiful car!"
When this first started I was a little confused, but then I realized that there is only one place that most people can see where my car says Porsche, and that is on the hood. On the back it just cays "Carrera". (Which I am sure most people have no idea what that means.)
That is great man 3 in one day, any compliment is a good one, but 3 Rocks.
interesting day for me, the wife and I were out for a bit and there were lots of nice cars out today. A Guards Red 997 Cab went by us and she says (remember my wife is NOT a car person and admits to not liking the P-car very much)
"the new Porsche dont look as sporty as the old ones.. more like a lexus... I like yours, it's new but still loooks sporty"
HOLY CRAP !!
she really shocked me with that one!
Steve, was it possibly that stylish three spoke black leather steering wheel that caught their eyes?
Russo, my wife and I were at a EuroSunday car show a few weeks ago. Amid a sea of Ferraris, Lambos, and BMWs, the lone orange 997 GT3RS was the car we both wanted to take home. Your's is a stunning supercar.
I got one of these today - it was so funny.
I took my family out to dinner and as we were loading the kids back into the car (they're 17 months and 4 years old, respectively) an older couple walked by and said "great family car!" He really admired the car and meant the comment. it was pretty funny.
I love driving my car again.
Spent 15 mins chatting with an older gent at the gas pumps. He had wandered over from his BMW 3 series to compliment me on my car and to tell me how much he'd always wanted one. I think that by the end of our conversation he was ready to stop at the dealer for a test drive.
I had a guy come up to me while I was pumping gas last Thursday and say "That's a nice car!". I thanked him as he walked around to the back and read the Carrera 4S badge, and then said "What is this, a 944?" I told him what it was and he gave me a thumbs up and drove away. I got a kick out of it.
