Thanks

WOT: Wide open throttle

AFAIK: As far as I know


A few others we use:

PBU: Push button unit

CCU: Climate control unit

UCA: Upper control arm

LCA Lower control arm

Diff: Differential


I'll probably think of a few more.

BC New American Dictionary:

ricer:

noun

Craig,

I love it! ( your dry delivery, on the definition)

Patois...Ricer = Hopelessly (at a ridiculous cost) "Hopped Up" Japanese car.
[I.E. $10,000.00 worth of junk on a car that "Edmonds" or the "Blue Book"
only values at $.50]
