Hey don't laugh, I heard the same guy is developing stick on RMS leaks, to put on the garage floors of your paranoid friends, kind of the exploding golf ball for boxsters.

litteng,
Bummer having a box in saskabush. You get to drive, what... 2 months a year? When it's not snowing or raining (water or bugs)... wait, make that 2 WEEKS a year!!
Just kidding! Anyways, you definately want to drive with badges among the sea of Pontiac Sunbirds, Chevy Aveos etc.
Same goes for chris97boxster (to some degree) in Edmonchuck.

My car was purchased debadged. Old guys always stop and ask me what kind of car I'm driving when I pull into rest stops. Never fails. Every. Single. Time.

That's good!!!
But seeing as 'Mach Schnell' means 'Hurry Up', wouldn't it be better as a windsheild decal visor in a mirror image so that people could read it in their rear view mirror? Kind of like have AVO VOM on your front licence plate.

I grew up in Vancouver and went to college in Regina for two years and have relatives in Sask. Please tell our American friends how to pronounce Regina.
I would but I don't want to get kicked off the forum. I've been in California for 24 years now but I get back to the motherland occasionally.

sorry can't touch the pronunciation of the Queens last name even though it sounds like a feminine body part...
37mpg is steady highway speed more like 25 in the city.
we have funny nicknames for our citys/provinces, saskabush = saskatchewan, edmonchuck = edmonton, cowtown = calgary, hongcouver = vancouver, ...

Mark from Winterpeg here...
I de-badged my boxster because:
a) I like the cleaner look without the badge
b) I agree with the comment about it being a dumb name for the car
c) I got tired of trying to clean and wax around the badge
The badge is now stuck to the lid of my toolbox, where it looks much better.
I was parked at a burger stand in Carman, a small town just outside Winnipeg, and one of the locals came up to me and asked me if it was a Porch or a Ferrari.
I replied that it was a Porsh-a, because a Porch is that wooden deck in front of your house with the rocking chairs on it where your son sits and plays the banjo. I don't think she really understood.

ok, for the slow folks, it's pronounced (Re g eye na) 
litteng or Mark, if you ever want to come and visit, may I suggest you go straight through Regina, down to the boarder town of Climax.
It's a liitle out of the way but well worth the journey.
ps, wait til summer. i hear Regina is frigid right now.
