So am I a Dork?

I prefer the Por-sha pronunciation so I came up with this. My 14 year old daughter says I'm a dork...
Sorry for the poor image quality!

Probably one of the most discreet, non-cutesy vanities I've seen.
Way to go!

You might be a dork, but I like the plate!

Well, I have never met you personally but I like the plate.

Did your daughter's answer/comment relate to the car or her age? I just remember what I thought of my parents that long ago, and my sister was much worse.

Out of the mouths of babes . . .

But I don't like vanity plates period.

My daughter hated the car (too loud, too low, blah blah) until I dropped her off at school and the boys saw it. Now it's her preferred method of transport.

He's asking if he's a Dork because he prefers to pronounce Porsche in two syllables....as in Por-sha. Others may pronounce it as one syllable....Porshh.

I am pretty sure that to a 14-year-old, everything is a dork.

show her this: http://www.g9girl.com/

if she thinks it's dorky, you are fine.

Slippery slope time. Just wait -- in about 3 years (drivers license time), you might find yourself handing the keys to 'the boy'. Worked for me, many, many years ago...

Decisive: "Por-sha whether you like it or not because that is the truth"

Or


Wienie: Most likely to take an opinion pole and have a discussion with the ricers to tell us how it should be pronounced.


You decide......
