I realize this is somewhat off-topic, and I'm not a huge football fan, but ....
I've always heard Brett Favre's name pronounced "Farv." Now, that's dyslexic! How do "they" get off pronouncing the "r" before the "v"? Any linguists among us with a good explanation?

That was the subject of a good joke in the movie 'There's Something About Mary' where they purposely mispronounced Favre's name. Pretty funny.

H2ONOO,
Yeah, that's the shot.
Very pretty car, thanks for posting it again.
And thanks for the infomation.
Mine is Polar with Blue and the 17" Cup wheels. I love the look with those wheels, and can't recall seeing them on a cab.
Sorry to hear about the bent rims. My coupe has the Technology 18s. So far, the only damage is the curb rash compliments of the previous owner, which I was planning on curing next spring.
