I’ve been there— race worker parking lot. I met Jeff Gordon who was observing the 24 Hours one night.

I was just being foolish. I knew that you were telling that the vowel after rsch is a syllable to pronounce, as it is within a Deutsche name, not in an English word such as cake or bike.

Porsche is a brand’s name. I’m not meeting a person and refusing to pronounce his or her name as he or she wishes.

Yep.

Moron who drove 1987 Nissan truck toward giant waves can’t afford to pay a huge fine.

Don’t shoot at persons or vehicles in Charlotte.

The presidential inauguration will precede the final decent-looking Japanese car.

The final decent-looking Japanese car will be made after the inauguration, not before it.

*That* part of the Grand Tour shows is bizarre. It’s insulting to Kimi and other would-be guests.
