What's in a name?
Two questions, sorta technical. Do we pronounce the name "Porsh" or "Porshu" with a short U? Second, was the phrase "Porsche, accept no substitute" or Porsche, there is no substitute"? Want to get the vanity plate right...
Thanks Scott Obvious New Guy |

Scott,
Check out a Porsche ad on Speed Channel. You will "see" that is is pronounced Porschuh. The slogan is "Porsche...there is no substitute". Maybe it should be "Porsche...it's a two syllable word". Check out Tim f's thread. Good videos including pronunciation.

and i thought
I was such an original...yeah right. Actually, I was going to put it on the front. Anybody know of a good on-line store that'll make a custom plate with the slogan and "Porshah" (pinkies in the air, please) crest?

There's a ton out there. Google it.
Here's one such site. http://www.europeanplates.com/ I'll look for another I have, which has actual year specific historical plates for your vehicle, plus an online designer so you can see what it will look like. Jim
