I know a guy who was born in Tyler, TX...he told a funny tale of a family visit he & his wife made. Talking with an older aunt, the aunt mentioned going to "Ig-nashio", the Texas accent. My friend's wife, being a liberal UCLA grad, said: "Well, to be correct, I suppose we should pronounce it "ig-nah-see-oh". My friend's aunt, with no malice whatsover, explained: "Oh no, honey. You see, we won the war. We can call it whatever we like."

Sam Huston must have been smiling from above....

To sort-of stay on topic? I don't think a 2.4 S Targa is capable of 165 m.p.h.
