I've owned 3 porkers now and never seen any kind of abuse towards me or my car ( I'm a big lad though

But you have to understand that Porsche now sell, what? 70,000-80,000 cars a year? Maybe more, and what percentage of those are enthusiasts? 10% maybe a little more. Which means there are over 70,000 to55er5 driving new Porsches every year and unfortunatley average Joe cannot tell the difference between us and them, fact of life, some people buy top end cars just to flash their cash and look cool LOL and like to spend all day cutting up as much traffic as they can because they own the road in their shiny new Porker or whatever they're driving.
How many people on here have posted threads that start, saw a right to55er on the M25 today in the outside lane...blah blah blah?
There are plenty if you search.
Now I know this doesn't give anyone the right to damage another mans car but life isn't perfect and neither are people.
Sorry - don't want to start a punch up but that's one insulting post IMO. Just because they aren't 'enthusiasts' you brand +70,000 people 'to55er5'. Lets hope they don't all make similarly misplaced assumptions about you! ) But you have to understand that Porsche now sell, what? 70,000-80,000 cars a year?

I think if you own an air cooled you are an enthusiast if you have water cooled you may as well have a Cayenne....
What if you have both?
I think this means you have a willy and a fanny - the technical term for which is, I believe, hemaphrodite.
That's priceless. Love it
I've been shouted at by ferile kids before, as i have driven past minding my own business, but if ever anyone physically abused my motor what ever the brand, i'd leather them simple as that, jealousy and damage to other peoples property which they have worked hard for i cannot stand simple as that.

Explains the poor command of the English language too.
There cant be 70,000 of them, surely.
Im afraid, I have to agree. I have had various cars and you are much more likely to be treated with courtesy if you are not driving a Merc Porsche or BMW. And the Porsche in particular has to be parked with a great deal of care.
To make things worse, neds can now kid themselves on that they are fighting for the planet.
Sick.

A friend and I were walking down a street a few years back and a brand new at the time 996 turbo cab parked up next to a newsagents we were walking past. Some little oik riding his bike on the pavement swerved over and spat onto the driver's seat. Right in front of us!
He carried on cycling and tried to go past us but my mate (a big lad) clothes-lined him bang on the neck making him fall off the bike onto the floor. My pal held him down whilst I went into the shop to get the owner. "Excuse me mate but some little w@nker has just spat into your car. We've got him outside"
The owner, a big lad himself, came outside a little peeved to say the least.
"Where do you want it?" he asked the kid.
"What the f#ck?" says little chav boy who was probably about 16 years old but aging by the second at this point.
"I'm going to punch you, hard, and I was wondering where you wanted it. Head? Chin? Stomach? Up to you"
The kid's reaction was a picture. The colour completely drained from his face and he was struggling like mad to get free.
"I'll choose shall I?" says the guy and raised his fist above his head.
The kid actually squeaked and rolled himself up into a ball. The Porsche driver winked at us and motioned to let him go and then shouted "BOO!".
The kid scrambled up and ran away screaming like a scalded cat leaving his BMX and the three of us wetting ourselves by the side of the road.
Porsche dude thanks us, wipes off the phlegm with his hankie and goes on his way. He showed a lot more restraint than I think I would have been able to. If the kid had permanently damaged the car perhaps it would have been a different story...

It's not just Porsche it's anything with four wheels unfortunately. My wife had her Clio for all of two months and some scumbag keyed down all panels on one side. £600 repair bill. One of her friends came over to our place in what would constitute a £150 ancient Fiesta. Some b*stard threw a bolt through her headlight. Completely mindless I'm afraid.
No rhyme or reason for any of it just bored, poorly educated and probably drunk. By comparison I had my M3 CSL out on the same street for 2 years or so and never got touched. Not once. I did however have my Smart Car gently lowered onto it's side on the grass verge. (Please refrain from laughing) *cough*
