Commonly Used Forum Acronyms

[Broxn]

Or "CUFA"
Would be fantastic you had one of these for modification acronyms.
(I couldn't find any)
But a sticky of the topc would be fantastic for some people that aren't used to the "lingo"
Cheers all...
Feel free to start a list here.....or contribute!
CAI - cold air intake
BOV- blow off valve
BPV- bypass valve
Etc... What would be even better would be a short explanation of such mods ..

CAI - cold air intake- used to allow greater flow of air to ...yada yada... Maybe even a hp rating...etc

Karen, when you were getting your mods done, i.e. highlights, cut and blow dry ( no comment on the last one on the list...), did you by chance dye your hair blonde in the process???

[redsnoopy04]

For the longest time I was wondering what did: FTW meant! Thanks! LOL

[-RJ3-]

you forgot MPS's favorite!!! ROLF

Roll over laughing floor

[Karen Lee-McNair]

actually Vlad, you have been banned as well,

it's too bad things have to get this escalated, i always hope things can be conducted in a more peaceful manner, but everyone is different, and handles things differently.

All I can say to reassure my current clients and any new ones is that I have worked very hard to build my own, and Agincourt Mazda's reputation.
I try to be fair at all times, and look at every one's situation differently, and how I would want to be treated if I was in their position.
My reputation means everything to me! That is why it can also offend me deeply when my integrity and unjustified names are being said of me.

I thoroughly enjoy being apart of this forum, i have met some great people, and I would even go as far as to say some friends. Being on the forum as an affiliate dealer means we care about our clients and Mazda owners!

That being said, I also have to protect myself and my staff from any agressive behaviour that is being displayed, and it will not be tolerated. I do not expect anyone in any profession to be treated in such a manner.

If there is an issue, I will always try to resolve it fairly, and I hope our feedback speaks for itself.

I will not respond to the "nightmare story" which may be posted, I just want to add 2 things...
1. there are 2 sides to every story
2. EVERYONE carries their own reputation, and hopefully both reputations are looked at before a judgement is made

gimme a break, i'm just lazy....

[mazdabetty]

pice out

LMAO!!!! Well that's embarrassing for you...

I think people are going to have a hard time taking someone seriously who has been a) banned from the forums, b) banned from a dealership, and c) can't even spell "peace"...

I can only imagine the kind of manners that would come from someone with this history, let alone an adult who has the spelling skills of a 10 year old....

Prepare to strap on your flame suit when you post this story, Karen has A LOT of people here who are going to back her up with rave reviews and success stories. It's going to get interesting.




..........I still can't figure out where the "i" comes in.....

Please make sure you use spell check when you post the story.... bahaahahahha............

[Zoom Zoom Boy]

(I still can't figure out where the "i" comes in..... )

Piece out???

[mazdabetty]

Peice???? pace??? piace??? ugh....

[cwp_sedan]
