928 - Nine two eight

968 - Nine six eight

911 - Nine Eleven!

They're nine-fourty four's to me.
As long as it doesn't get called a rex, or a celica, it doesn't bother me.

i call mine slo-poke since my wife's golf is faster....

i usually say nine forty-four, nine twenty-four, nine fifty-one, and nine six eight - its just easier to say than nine sixty-eight.

I pronounce it Rx7

I usually say both....because I used to call it a nine forty four, but then started callign a nine four four....but then never broke the old habit, so it is really random....on that note...

nine eleven
nine twenty eight
nine two four
nine sixty eight
nine fifty one
nine thirty one

really the only one i say it is the 924 and the 944
