haha i LOVE this thread. dixie, your excellent vocabulary and grasp of the english language is what makes you so funny. and yeah wtf is a travolta cooler anyway? and dont even get me started on the confusion between his and he's. FFS...i dont see anyone writing "shis" instead of "she's". eg: his an idiot. oh the irony. correct: he's an idiot. eg: this is hes kebab. wtf? correct: this is his kebab. and how about could/would/should of? FFS, does that make ANY sense to you people? could of...WTF IS THAT SHIT?! its could've/would've/should've...shortened from could/would/should HAVE...fucking hell. lol...yeah anyways. LMAO@GRK-WPN as well...just get back on the shortbus you spastic. your IQ and the value of your VL combined would still not run into 3 digits.

lol@hurt people. what about 'no' instead of 'know'? not as bad coz its usually for convenience, like 'coz' just then, but still it looks stupid. and those bloody asians saying "i news to" instead of "i used to". dont know about you guys but i heard a shit load of that in primary school. double negatives...'irregardless'. its not a word and it means the same damn thing as regardless. not spelling/grammar related but also people not realising that a supercharger and a blower are the same thing. ive witnessed people refer to a car with a supercharger and the butterfly valve hood scoop a.k.a "bug catcher" as "supercharged with a blower". come on, people...seriously. my knowledge of engines is obviously fairly limited as evident by the fact i dont know the proper name for the butterfly valve intake mounted on top of superchargers...but atleast i know that a blower IS a supercharger, and i should considering my calais is supercharged. /end rant. oh and almost forgot...people who somehow think a pod filter equals forced induction. exactly what is it about an air filter that is forcing more air into the engine? anyway enough of this nerdy stuff...time for some macho talk to balance things out. burnouts v8s turbos headjobs punchons boobs hardstyles kebabs bad spelling/grammar vin diesel mullets calaisturbo.com.au, etc etc.

Another thing i've seen is when someone say "me" instead of "my" like they were born on a farm in Texas. "Thats me tractor over there! Yee Haw!" "Me turbo's got some shaft play! Yee haw!"

lol yeah the whole 'me' instead of 'my' is definitely a bogan thing and it annoys the shit out of me. i guess bogan is the australian equivalent of americas redneck...yeehaw me sumbitch ah-hyuck and what not. what about 'wut' instead of "what". who the fuck actually pronounces it like 'wut'? wat, wot and everything is kinda fine by me but wtf is wut. IntenseVLT, your avatar is a pisser. where can i get me some of those glasses for me fuckin eyes? me fuckin sheila wants a pair too.
