B-M-W or beemer or bimmer?

It is "Beemer" (or Beamer) for BMW Motorcycles, and
"Bimmer" for BMW automobiles. I belonged to the BMW Club of NA way back in
'96 when I had a Bimmer 3281s coopay.. )

Ford or Fix Or Repair Daily or Found On the Road Dead?

Oh yeah!... try pronouncing "Citroen Deux Cheveaux" or "Traction Avant!"

Tybeedon, who speaks four languages: German, French, English and Profane -- only fluent in the last one! (People who say "Porshh" for "Porsche", leaving off the last 'uhh sound,' drive me nuts -- it's no longer an unknown "werd." Heh..heh )
