You should hear the Southern pronunciation for "Renault".
Would that be "REN-awlt" or "REE-nawlt" ?
Yep, the last one. ROTFLMAO
TDD
The Frog way (which must be correct) is Ren-aw.
It always cracked me up when some backwoods mechanic got hold
of a little Renault and snapped off a head bolt or something
else important because he was used to working on real American
iron like a Flathead Ford or IH tractor; something that requires
a cheater bar attached to a torque wrench to get a bolt tight enough.
Their comments were usually along the lines of, "That little thang
ain't worf a dam, didge ya see how easy it busted?" The guys
weren't too familiar with automobiles that tipped the scales at
only 1,7030lbs. ;-)
