    I just realized that I've always said "three-oh-eight", when it's proper to say "three-zero-eight". Interestingly, I say "three-twenty-eight", rather than "three-two-eight".

    How do you say it?

    French is the same as Italian, which is hardly surprising: Trois cent huit, three-hundred-eight.

    'Three-twenty-eight' for mine, usually followed by "...no, it's the generation AFTER the Magnum P.I. car..."

    Three-oh-eight for those earlier cars.

    Two-forty-six for the even earlier ones.

    Still trying to learn to say "Dino" for my friend's Gee-Tee-Four.
