I guess people who don't frequent this site too much don't know about all the abbreviations and acronyms thrown around. I only know about the following because I frequent forums way too much, and people are lazy enough to consistently use them:

WOT=wide open throttle
IMHO= in my humble/honest opinion
IIRC= if I recall correctly
TBH= to be honest
GTFO= get the **** out
OMGWTFBBQ= oh my god what the **** barbeque

There are a lot more that I forgot. Interestingly, I haven't seen a lot of people try to shorten the rarer colors like Nordic Green, Stormy Blue, Copper Red, etc.

thats because a lot of people wouldnt understand what a SB rx8 is. everyone gets VR, because it is the best.

Or because all Velocity Red owners are universally lazy, relying on the appeal of their car's color instead of their driving skills to impress.

I know, this forum either must be mellowing out, or getting old.
