First time I took the Diablo to my local service station, the first assistant asked if it was a Porsche, and the second "corrected" him and said it was a Ferrari.

I don't mind. It is usually the start of a nice conversation.

I was out in my Porsche, bloke stopped me and asked if I was Jason Plato.

Slightly off topic but last summer I got a parking ticket in ITALY on the Gallardo which stated "green Ferrari". I would have thought even the traffic wardens in Italy could tell the difference!!

Funny enough, I was asked by Plod if I was a dealer a few weeks ago, I pointed at the Passat (dirty, dog wagon) and said, well that's my car, what do you think..........

Last summer (and this is Verbatim). Upon turning up to the pub in mine and meeting a female friend's attractive blonde friend:

Hot Blonde: ooh nice car, a dodgy mate of mines got the same one. He lives near here, you might know him.
Me: Whats his name?
Her: Bachi
Me: Yes I do know him, yes he's dodgy, and no its not the same car (his is newer)

Mate if you can guess which blonde said that about you I'll buy you a drink at next dirty dicks night.

Indeed! I often get asked if I am a dealer. Of course, the reality is most drug dealers live with Mum and barely sell enough to fund their own habit let alone an Italian stallion.
