I my case the translator owns the car as her anniversary present. :} Word of advice: Porsche Boxsters are great anniversary presents!

My wife does technical translations of German engineering products, among other things. She's a native-born German speaker. When translated, the "manual" said it would say "manual." In the case of the Boxster, that is not the case. It should have read "manuell."

Now if I could only change the "manuell" into "manual. . . ."

FYI, for you afficianados out there, the correct pronunciation is indeed
"Porsch-ah"
