PORSCHE - What does it stand for?

OK, time for a little stupid childish fun here 'cause I'm bored....you see, unfortunately, it's "winter" up here in Alberta and both the "old girl" and the "new babe" are in hybernation already.

When we were kids, we used to take apart certain car's names and come up with interesting ways to remember them by, such as:

FORD - "Found On Road Dead" (sorry Ford lovers!)

SAAB - "Swedish Auto Always Broken" (my apologies to SAAB guys!)

JAGUAR - "Just A Great Unbelievably Awesome Ride" (had a Jag once!)

DODGE - "Don't Over Drive Gutless Engines" (sorry Dodge fans!)

For our P cars, the only thing I could come up with is:

PORSCHE - "People Overtly Recognize Such Cars Have Everything"

There's gotta be a better one than that!?!...........

Well I don't have on for Porsche, but you missed a few good ones:

FIAT - Fix it again, Tony

LOTUS - Lots of trouble, usually serious

Shouldn't this be in the Driver's Lounge forum instead of the 911 Technical forum?
