Arrow Spotlighting Acura on my website

Me and my friends have a website with an extension focused on automotive news and what not, this week we are featuring Acuras products. I'd appreciate it if you guys stopped by just to take a look and give a little constructive feedback :o

Not a bad site. Clean and simple is always refreshing when browsing through an e-zine type site. Nice.

I tried to read it being that I'm also an RL owner, but didn't understand some the words. I don't consider myself that old, but I guess I am. :-)

What does flossing have to do with cars?
What makes a person a "playa"?
The spell checker missed "Yo'". I think you meant "your".
What is "Slab-ability"?

I do like the presentation. I'm guessing based on your words, your trying to focus on a younger demographic.

LOL--yeah--focusing on a younger more hip/hop nonautomotive demographic. Flossin=showing off
playa=just someone 'cool' in so many words
slab-ability=SLAB=Slow loud and bangin means how does it accept all the accoutrements of showiness-rims, sound system, etc.

Ahh... A glossary would work on the site (I have to admit I was looking for one because I didn't know what SLAB meant, and I thought Floss described by wife's panties)...

I still liked it. But a glossary... yep, you could even have fun with it kinda making fun of people like me who don't really understand all the slang. :D

There is a Houston slang dictionary on the main site http://www.wreckfastclub.net/features/dictionary.html
but I probably will devise one more specific to the site--good idea.

every region has different slang and dialect, the target demographic for this site is almost completely different from that of Car and Driver and the like, so people won't/can't relate--amongst some people that (Slab) is a good thing, if not then move around. As far as 84 spokes--that is in reference to Dayton Wire wheels--84 spokes.
