I park in the basement where there are plenty of spaces, not many people know how to even get down there. The spaces are actually very narrow, and if a person parks next to me I literally can't open my door. It's more for me than protection. Getting in a car like this is not easy, and I need room!

I have hopped into it once, but almost threw out my back. It's hard to get into with a wide open door. It's very hard to get into from the top in a cramped cockpit. I also don't always leave the top down while parked.

replacing your 300+mm rear tires probably costs more than my entire car

Or maybe he just has a cover on partially to cover the open roof?
As a fellow exotic owner (though nothing of that level!), I would a) never park against a wall that has outside elements b) park next to a stairwell where people will frequently see the car.
Here's mine at work. I park in the basement. There are about 4 Audi S4s and some bmw convertibles, but nothing on the lambo scale. Even with a 50 story office building of lawyers:

Not sure when the whole girls like cool cars thing. But I've always had cool cars or motorcycles. And I've only ever had dudes interested in them. Girls never care.

Most girls don't really care about cars.
And Creatre, that there are two other cars parked around you implies other people park in that area, therefore you are parking like an ass.
And Gramercy, don't complain - you can afford a parking space in NYC. That's pretty well off.

Parking costs a lot in manhattan. I moved to hoboken last week, so I'm paying hoboken prices for parking and rent. I lived next to the Dakota on 72nd and CPW for a few years with my wife in a dakota brownstone and my 'share' of the rent, if you split it, was as much as the parking spot in my building. Manhattan is stupid, but I miss the access to the park for riding. That alone is obviously not worth it, though.

Pretty soon people will be clamoring for the land in Richmond that the refineries of Chevron polluted.

I'm pretty sure you can get a baby seat in the back seat of a 991, its significantly bigger than the 997's backseat. Hell, we make our 22 year old sit back there.
And if you want a GT-3, they've fixed the issue with the engine bearing that caused them to catch on fire.

Creatre, you should bring your car down to Roebling. There's a Porsche club DE coming up in October, all makes welcome.
