John SiracusaI spotted this car on the road, and my daughter asked why I thought it was cool. After I explained, she said, “Why would a company name a car 9/11?”
Peter Cohen@siracusa Hah! I was actually thinking about this (sarcastically) the other day.
Bill0004@siracusa Not sure if that's disappointing or amazing :)
Rob Raguet-Schofield@siracusa "Why did they name her after a car?" rob.rs/wp-conten...

How many years would you have to hold off buying a car to rationalize the purchase of a Porsche in the future?

Brian DearHopefully soon the next time you all encounter a situation like that she instead asks, "How is any car cool if it has exhaust pipes?"
Colm Ó Donnchadha@brianstorms @siracusa my wife's old boss drives an e911
And we are unsure if it's more, or less, ostentatious than a petrol version!

ZS@siracusa Why would a country write and say 11th September as 9/11? *That* is the real question. 😉
Mike Guterl
Daphne@ZS Because that's how you write a date: 2024/9/11
Ole Kristian Mørch-Storstein@siracusa you could claim its november 9th because its always the year of inconsistent date formats
Jon (Snarf) Mason@siracusa did you immediately crumble to dust ?
Cesare Forelli@siracusa best “tell me you’re born in the 2000’s without telling me”…
Alphacheez@siracusa this is when I hope you've watched Office Space with your daughter so you can bring up the Michael Bolton bit. One of my friends was on an Ultimate Frisbee team they named "The No Talent Ass-Clowns" from that
MaybeMyMonkeys@siracusa why would parents name a child Jason or Karen?
Weltzeitgeist@siracusa 'Reminds me of that tragedy'
Trieu@siracusa you say porsche I say massachusetts weekend traffic
jan klarname ullrich@siracusa the way of elbow positioning shows clearly that guy used to ride an opel manta before
Penguin@siracusa My friend owned a 911 in 1969, long before it had any other meaning. That’s when cars & cameras were the tech marvels to own, there was nothing else 🙂
Florian Poeltl@siracusa you habe to explain to your daughter that the world is bigger and older than the US of America.
Nylon 6-6@siracusa And by noticing this innocent connection your daughter has forever ruined this car for me
WowSuchCyber@siracusa did you tell her it was because it was originally named 901 but Peugeot trademarked all the 3 digits model number with a 0 in the middle for their own models (so the manual crank to start them could be fitted inside the central 0)
