Boxter... like the Porsche

I wish people would stop calling the engine a "Boxter" engine.

That reminds me of the time I saw a listing for an Audi TT on eBay. The owner said it had a 5-cylinder, twin-turbo engine. I sent him a note informing him yes, it did have 20 valves, but it was a 4-cylinder, and that the TT stood for Tourist Trophy, not twin-turbo. The TT had twin two intercoolers but only one turbo.
