hey i wanted to ask everyone a question, what are the chances of having the simple acronyms used in here clarified..so far CEL makes sense

but man i feel like a decoder for the military everyone speaks like they are data devices.....help

 

welcome to the internet...now why am I in the canada forum?

 

You want to unleash your inner Canadian?

 

Here's what I've learned:

First, car colours:

WB = Winning Blue
BB = Brilliant Black
SS = Sunlight Silver
LY = Lightning Yellow
VR = Velocity Red
and various others.

And the rest:

CAI = Cold Air Intake
MS = Mazdaspeed
LF = Looking for, as in, wanted to buy
GI = Gauging Interest, as in, thinking about selling some **** and wondering if anyone might want to buy it
FS = For Sale
WTB = Wanting To Buy
CT = Canadian Tire
TPMS = Tire Pressure Monitoring System
CEL = Check Engine Light
GB = Group Buy
RB = Racing Beat
CF = Carbon Fibre

And I'm sure there are many, many more.

 

thank you
