Car terminology peeves

Car terminology peeves.

-Porsche pronounced as "Porsh"
(People don't seem to realize Porsh is short for Porsche)
- Coupé pronounced as "coop" instead of the proper "coo-pay"
-STi as "sty" instead of "s-t-i".

What makes you guys want to eat a gun when talking to other "car enthusiaths"?

Some kid tried to convince me that the Impreza was a different car completely from a WRX, "WRX STi" is not a real car it's either WRX *or* STi, and he also said they never made a hatchback STi.

He owned a brand new '17 STi and clutch burned out @5000 miles on the clock. Can't make this shit up.

New WRXs and STis are different models from the Imprezas

Anyone who calls gas "petrol" and does not live in Europe.

Car companies who have a trademarked or copyrighted name for something like air condition or giving the steering wheel a fancy name

These are good ones
You enable the "americans are retards" meme, delete this

Yes but he knew nothing about Subarus previously and took the brochure the salesman pitched him as fact and law. Straight out denied the existence of something called "Impreza WRX" or WRX STi"

You can blow my big american dick, europoor.
also
fuck you and the unnecessary 'u's you put in words too.

Californian here. I've never heard anyone pronounce "STi" as "sty".

"Coop" is actually the proper way to pronounce it in America. Like how "color" is the correct way for us to spell the British word "colour".

It literally is "pour-shh"
As someone that grew up with family members that made them.

ITT: o-tism general

I find myself saying "austin martin" every time I see the brand.

When I first heard the term, I thought it was "catholic converter".

sit-tren

A lot of people call the FRS by the 3 letters which is only partially correct

You see, "FRS" is phonetically EFF-ARR-ASS which is homosexual slang for "shove your throbbing dick in my ass because I'm a huge faggot"

Ess, you mongoloid.

Found a homosexual
Watch your anuses, guys, those FR-ass drivers are known to run around butt-slamming with raging semis

Why would you call a liquid fuel a gas? Helium is a gas.

Aluminum

people who try to say it right
but still fuck it up and end up as failed snobs

Its not coup ayy you dumb ass american its just how its written coup e. God damn you guys are some of the dumbest people on earth but youre probably some minority like a mexican or something.

it's derived from petroleum. it's called petrol.

>ITT
>Dodge Charger
It's pronounced Dau-jey Chair-gère

>its written coup e
It's written coupé though, the accent aigu, or acute accent for you plebeians is there for a reason, not just decoration, it's pronounced /kuˈpeː/. In French a coupe is something different entirely, a cup, and it's pronounced /kup/.

>hey gurl come ride in my coopee

Your family members didn't even learn how to pronounce the name of the fucking car they made? I see the genes have passed on quite well

mishubishi is how i hear mitsu pronounced.
