If you’re a photographer shooting cars, you’re used to being patient. You figure out from where the subject is coming, where it will be going, and where you should be standing to capture the shot. What you may not be counting on is the fact that someone else is also capturing a shot.

Last Call indicates the end of Hooniverse’s broadcast day. It’s meant to be an open forum for anyone and anything. Thread jacking is not only accepted, it’s encouraged.
I like the Sir-David-Attenborough-esque delivery. Some people are completely clueless.
Considering it seems perfectly acceptable to pronounce VW as Volks Wagon (instead of Folks-Vagen), it’s probably time to start shaming the “it’s Por-SHUH” wankers.
Porsche is a surname, so correct pronunciation is determined by the bearer of it. The family pronounces it more like “PAW-shuh”. I had a friend in high school from Spain named Jorge, and it always pissed him off when people called him “George”.
My surname was anglicized from its Gaelic origins several generations ago, but people still manage to mispronounce it.
Is it that, or is it socially acceptable snobbery?
Driving a Porsche is socially acceptable snobbery, regardless how you pronounce it.
