"Stage (x)" annoys me. It's usually the retarded mk4 Jetta and WRX kids that I see throwing these completely arbitrary terms around.

"Yeah right now my Jetta 1.8T is only a stage 1 but I think I'll have it up to stage 2 by the end of the summer. My buddy has a sick stage 3 STi and his girlfriend has a stage 2 Beetle TDI."

To be fair, some/most communities will have a sensible accepted definition of upgrade "stages" e.g. the mkiv supra's BPU/BPU+ or B5 S4's stage 1/2/3 (tune/exhaust/k04s respectively). Not all of it is just retards rattling off their gran turismo mods. But obviously it is meaningless if context isn't given.

When someone says "VIN number". Redundant.

As someone else posted, Slicktop. Where in holy fuck did that come from?

Rims.

Balloon tire.

Mod lists.

Its not really a term, it just sucks.

"way" as in "my coilovers are 36-way adjustable" no they are 1-way adjustable and they are also shitty if that's how they're advertised.

"gear" as in "I got 4.10 gears" cool did you put them somewhere or just throw them in your trunk? or "I ran out of gear" no you ran out of revs, that's not your gears' fault.

"horse" as in "300 horse v8" this engine must have a lot of land to have that many horses

posi
hemi
and the usual stance/flush/etc.

By far the best break down of those terms

Restored- "Engine has been fully restored" as seen on a craigslist add for an e30. When I asked for the details of the restoration, the guy said its been all cleaned out(pressure washed), oil change, new spark plugs and airfilter.

"______ for days" Fill in the blank with drifting, burning rubber, etc..

spraypainted motor =/= fully rebuilt
