How do you say "Yenko"?
So I was talking to a few guys today at a local car meet and they got on the subject of Yenkos and COPOs and I had a question, now I have always said "Yenko" with an E sound and assumed that was right but they were saying "Yanko" with an A sound. I have heard it both ways from just about everyone including owners, which is the correct way to say it?

I've always said it with the E sound.
I've always spelled it e x p e n s i v e.

Re: How do you say "Yenko"?
Those Pennsylvania guys probably also say it Yenk-o not Yen-ko, linke Lanc-aster PN, not Lan-caster.

Re: How do you say "Yenko"?
Sorry Bob, i forgot my smiley. I have been schooled many a time by my wife for mispronouncing Lancaster in my Iowa dialoge. I was trying to add to the fun at my own expense. No way for you to know that, didn't mean to offend.
