Your inappropriate car choice for customer visits.
Discussion
My civic Type r fk8 was a bit of a concern at first. Thought my boss would go loopy but picked her up from the station for first meeting since getting it and she loved it. Customers also lots of positive comments, some giggles, but certainly was an ice breaker on the way to that sometimes awkward customer lunch that seems hell of a long time ago now....

I don’t get why a 911 is inappropriate? It’s just a red 911, there were countless of them where I used to work from 912 - 991 in the visitor spaces and the car park.
I turned up in a Camaro SS once, bright red.
A 1993 lowered / modified MK1 MX5 as there was an issue with my hire car, I was leading an assessment so it didn’t look great, saying that nor did my ancient Alfa 166.
I got a few nice comments when I had to go in my Vantage to one site.

I used to work for a small firm and the owners both drove supercars, we got some feedback from potential clients that they were a bit flash, which made us appear expensive.
The solution was a £800 Mondeo, of course this had the opposite affect and I did enjoy the road trips in the supercars way more than the Mondeo with the creaky suspension and a smell of old damp dog

The day after picking up my Maserati Grantourismo I thought I'd use it for a survey of a pub I was doing. Hid it at the back of the car park but was spotted by the client as I got out of the car.
His first comment was the inevitable 'you're going to charge me too much' so I decided to keep the e46 Bmw for work & use the maser for high days & holidays only.

Way back when a friend of mine had an original CLS on contract hire, he'd visit clients in the car and got wind that many thought he was a bit "flash", he was concerned about the image he was giving so when the contract came up he went for an Audi A6, the negative comments stopped, ironically the Audi was more expensive than the CLS.

Do you not? Well, context is everything. If it hadn't been a fellow ph'er, it woud have drawn a few tut-tut's rather than some 'bants'. It's by no means exotic - it's merely a red 911, but stuck out a bit!I turned up in a Camaro SS once, bright red.
