Same goes for chris97boxster (to some degree) in Edmonchuck. |
aNYONE WHo knows the term saskabush ! has lived here... yeah we never get any respect from those that emigrant out...
i get about 8 months driving 
i like to rub it in when ever i can, all the redneck construction and oil workers driving their hopped up pickmeups, i tell'em for that kind of money i bought the car and put money in the bank and still get 37mpg...
the latest news in canada (motoring 2011) is that pickup truck sales accounted for over 50% of sales in canada last year... 
really sad case of lemming itus

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.

So you head south from the town that sounds like a female body to end up at Climax. Hmm. Only in the prairies.

At least I understand the P-car culture a little better now, so I guess debadging is no biggie.
