Well, I think I got almost all of them. If anyone thinks of more please post them here.

The ones with punctuation, dashes, slashes, *, aren't working. I need to dig a little more and find out why.

I was talking to CC last night, and what he said, surprised me. First, "mm mm mm, that hc, hp, ti, needle from PR sure puts out the hp and rev!"

He went on to say, "With my new V&H from OE, I'll need some new stuff from HF, or the witch will put a hex on me for sure. But at least me PCV isn't made of PVC." I asked him what he meant. He replied, "Well bub, the R* I got off the RSR sure needs a map, 'cause it takes so much psi to get my main man working."

"Who, ME?" I said.

"Son, you're a train rec. Why, the flatside of your head must be HOK."





So how much blue to you want in one message?



That ain't enough. Maybe add all verbs and nouns.

CT = Closed Throttle. Referring to the carburetor status when the throttle is released.

hp = high-performance or horse-power, depending on context. (Gram: Did you miss this one from before, or just decide it was self-evident?)

The definition you currently assigned this acronym (wide white wall tires) is showing up on references to websites and links.

Just thought you should know.

I got it, but I have the software is set to only convert the first of any term it finds in any post or article. If you didn't see it converted, it was either on our front page (no conversions) or the article or post you were looking at already had one instance of hp converted.

This lowers server utilization over converting all instances.

If we take this a little further, we won't even be speaking english anymore! But, that could help some of you guys that have kids that text each other all the time, and you don't have a clue as to what they're talking about. BB

Yea, I figured it out right away by looking at my post right after I created it. Sorry to have bothered you on this.

BTW, here's a couple more:

torque = Noun: rotational power or stress. Verb: tighten to a specified rotational tension.

ftlb = foot-pounds, referring to torque
ft-lb = foot-pounds, referring to torque
Nm = Newton-meters, referring to torque
M-kg = meter-kilograms, referring to torque
