Plural Porsche(s)

[Android356]

Even though English is my first language, I've struggled to figure out how to make Porsche plural. Just putting an "s" on the end just looks and sounds wrong.

For example: "John was a rich SOB and had three Porsches in his garage." Does that look right to you? I mean if you replace it with Fords, Ferraris, Chevys etc, it looks and sounds right.

I don't know why Johnny would have three Fords anyways, unless they were a '32 three window, F350 dually and '67 Shelby Mustang 428CJ.

I guess we need to know how a German would make it plural... any clues, and would they own a Ford?

A murder of Porsches.

Yeah that looks right.

[tazzieman]

A posse of Porsches? I think I spelt posse right but that photo is distracting.

There's a Porsche in the photo ??http://forums.pelicanparts.com/ultimate/eek.gif

What was the original question again......?

You make it plural by engaging in sexually reproductive activities with that female in the picture.

Gross. Really?

I wouldn't do any chick that had a crap SX-70 camera.
JK, I'd do her while expending the polaroid film. Then I'd pitch the SX-70.

Oh, and a German would add an "s" to pluralise Porsche.

a)

ein Porsche, zwei Porsche, no "s" that is

b)

Ford fahren, Ford-schmeißen (buy and throw away), get the message ;-)

Okay at least the Germans got it right, so no "s" on that, but for us English speakers, we'll have to do with what ever works.

We know she's not German... she'd have a beer stein, a Leica, and about 100 lbs.

huh ? what ? ..

[bike2ride95]

I think I got it..no "S"...one must include the # of Porsche, not Porsches.

As Swiss (German speaking) I do not like to disagree, BUT Duden-online says:

...if it were a classic Latin term, but then singular has to be Porschus

I think I like the Latin version Porschus. There could be a Spanish version too - Porscha for the female car and Porsch for the male.
