Gotta love a free shirt. Come to think of it I wore a shirt to the gym last week that was a freebie from a **** web site that sponsored our 24 Hours of LeMons racer.

Now my guess is (if she was sitting there on her own as you were) she was definately either making a hit on you and thought by starting a rally of sorts around your P hat and the P car demographic would either determine for her whether you were up to her mark by being able to fend off such comment in a postive, intelligent and humorius manner or, confirm if you were just one of the snobby self indignant senstive P owner types she has been led to believe most of us are (by i don't know who). Either way, i would have embraced the opportunity to have broken her remark right down to the bones to find out the exact origin of her general thinking/remark.....and in that process demonstrate to her that not all P owners are as she thinks (that is if she really does think all P owners are Aholes). Anyways, for all of that i wouldnt bother too much about the hat and the interlude (altho it does serve as a lesson of sorts), but so far as not wearing the hat, its become quite a victory for the girl id've said. Sorry TB but thats the way it looks....especially if you have become a touch paranoid as well. Insofar as P hats go ive been gifted a few myself over the years..some more obvious than others. Ive personally found hats are funny things and can form varying impressions depending upon where you are, and who you are with when you are wearing it. Body language is very telling. These days if im on my own i always wear my black one with the discreet porsche logo embroidered in black. The more obvious ones are usually left in the cupboard nowadays. I figure if someones going to accost me or form a negative impression against me whilst wearing my "discrete" P hat then let them go their hardest as I quite enjoy a good rally at times myself. And if its by an attractive girl then im always happy to have a chat....if just to sort her out . But to stop wearing one completely.....well only if its ostentatious to the point it draws too much attention from the wrong types. Good luck with "the hat" anyway and good story none the less .

edit: In Hindsight maybe you should have gifted the hat to her, putting it on her head....mindful you are having reservations wearing it now. In one way or the other it would have shut her up .

I mention to my lady I should give going to school some thought and she said you can look at college girls without enrolling in class

Some of these college girls are pretty feisty im told. Just as well you didn't tell her you were married. She might have jumped on you for sure.....then you'd be in trouble.

My first thought . . . she (the college girl) was FLIRTING in a way that her seem unimpressed and somehow cerebral. Anyone else would have thought whatever they wanted to about the hat and then . . . . said nothing because it isn't worth their time or effort to express those type of feelings to a stranger. What would they expect . . . that you would sell your car, or just defend yourself and explain how cool you are.

But . . . if they were flirting, it is a way of starting a conversation and not giving up ground by acting impressed by your car/status.

She was flirtin' dude. That's my take. But I also think that "no" sometimes really means "yes" so . . . .
