    Carlsen "Porche" Audi - Anyone else missing an "S"?

    Just recently became aware of this on one of my maintenance records.

    If you look closely at the third line of the stamp, they've misspelled Porsche by dropping the S. Anyone else have one of these stamps?

    They probably pronounce it wrong too!

    That's because I have my priorities straight, obviously.

    Actually a different dealership (owner)....and there is no one at the current Carlsen dealership that would even remember the SF one...or probably why they call it Carlsen.
    BTW, it wasn't that unusual for the stamp guy to shorten words...or misspell them. I've seen the dealer name spelled wrong...and no one seemed to care.
