krystar

trying to remember...it was either a 924 or a 944 that was in a pretty famous music video. was either gaga or kanye i think....

Cyberpunky

It is at the start, but he calls it a nine forty four. I have never heard them called that before.

it is normal here in the states:
9 eleven
9 twenty four
9 twenty eight
9 forty four

Crackership

Really? That's probably the most common way I hear it said...

Cyberpunky

Down here, we do say nine eleven, and nine thirty, but all the others tend to be called nine four four, nine three five, or nine two eight, etc, so that sounded really odd to me. We do tend to shorten everything down here, so any excuse to loose a syllable I guess lol Mc Donalds is called Macca's, bar-b-ques are called Barby's and the list goes on.

Britney Spears had a 928 crash into a pool...that ****.

But I always hear my car referred to as a nine forty four, although I prefer nine four four

Here are a couple of references from the 80's:

David & David
Welcome to the Boomtown
"Ms. Christina drives a nine-four-four"

DJ Jazzy Jeff & Fresh Prince
Parents just don't understand
"They left the keys to their brand new Porsche"
Not an explicit 944 reference, but IIRC it was a 944 in the video.

Sorry you recall incorrectly it was a 911 cab

Mark Hubley

OK, it's been a while! Maybe I'm getting that confused with Jake's sweet ride in Sixteen Candles

Well if we are hijacking the music into movies....
