So, yeah, H-Audi.

Totally don't listen to her, she's got no clue what she's talking about.

AND she's in Texas, so she talks all redneck-like. I've heard her. She's all like,

'yall want some sweet tea?'

Very well put I think it's a German thing. I work with a guy who races Porsches at Watkins Glen, and over the last two or three years of talking cars with him, hearing Porsche pronounced "por-shuh" finally doesn't sound goofy to me.

But I'm with the rest of you - owdee is it.
