So I'm in the post office checking my box when an older guy, who obviously saw me get out of the car, says: "Nice Porsh"

What is the correct response to this compliment?

1) It's a Por-sha.

2) It's not a real Por-sha.

3) It's not a real Porsh.

4) Thank you.

Thank You - he went out of his to acknowledge your car, accept the compliment.

Besides, we all know teeners are VWs, or at least I have been told that on numerous occasions. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif)

4.

Anything else and your being a pompous dick.

If someone says "nice VW" then maybe you can start by, "Thank you! It was actually physically built by the VW factory with many other VW's and Porsche's but its actually a Porsche 914 with an (insert engine here)"

I hear "Nice car" all the time...except for Greenie who calls it a POS...but I don't remember anyone calling it a Porsh and it struck me funny. BTW, I just said Thank You.

"Thanks" I usually start a conversation and slip the correct pronunciation in a few times. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Except, none of that is true ..


Neither built by VW nor by Porsche.

My understanding is: built by karman, designed by Porsche, built with a lot of VW parts

Thanks, your Buick is nice too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

If you were to do #2 his "Nice Porsh" would be closer to the correct pronunciation of the way the family prefers.
