i would have preferred that you leave the racial connotations out of your comment...

Also, for those who don't know, negative camber is the greatest thing since sliced bread(panera). Even tire wear is for city busses and the elderly.

how could the use of that word be used WITHOUT "underlying racial overtones"?

First of all that last post is b.s. Don't go backing up someones comment with an even worse one. I would venture to say Charlie was kidding, aaron on the other hand..... that is a shitty way to take focus off the subject at hand, which is budget beater's total lack of tuning capabilities.
So back on topic, how much do you estimate you've spent? Do you have a 4.10 lsd yet?
Oh he must have been speaking of the literal translation.
Funny though I didn't gather that from this post....
So how bout we squash this like I said in my last post and resume the reaming.
To avoid further racial tensions when referring to any method used by "Budget Beater" to modify his car.. might I suggest a common term used by myself and many friends to critisize the quality of one's work while avoiding the same racial overtones in public.
"Johnny"
(ie. "That's the biggest pile of Johnny fuck I've ever seen!"or"What Johnny rigged that piece of shit turbo kit up?")
It's great because it can refer to anyone of any ethnic orgin and not feel racially charged AND it's alot more versatile when you really want to let someone know they did a shitty job.
but what about all the poor S.O.B.'s named johnny? lets just stick with "jerry-rigged", all the people named jerry must have a thick skin about that now.

The phrase is actually supposed to be "jury rigged", jerry is a bastardization of that. So unless there is anyone called Jury....
