Lightbulb Porsche 928 unique terms and dictionary

Has anyone tought that we use a lot of unique terms when shark-talking?
What if we would compile a 928 dictionary?
I know y'all are going to help, so it goes:

Shark: Porsche 928 (all versions)

RMB: Rear Muffler Bypass. It will make your shark scream "move out!!, i'm coming!"

BWAAAAAHH!: Shark's supercar sound. It happens mostly when you press the kickdown switch.

Supercar Sound: see BWAAAAAAHH!

Aero Mirrors: To see other cars left behind, including 911's ans so on..

Idle: something shark owners are looking for.

TT:Torque Tube. Face it, you'll be dealing with this sooner or later.

Big 3: The big three. The B3 are some utopic figures all shark owners praise

Alignment: Another thing shark owners are looking for

MAF: Mass Air Flowmeter: careful, this can be a blessing, or it can ruin your life, depending on its mood.

TBF: Thrust Bearing Failure: what happens if you don't take good care of your shark. If you let this happen to your car anytime in your life, kill yourself (or buy another shark).

Superchager: New set of teeth for the shark. A 928 can bite anything with one of this.


OK People, help me complete the 928 dictionary, i know there are many terms i'm missing!!!

TBF: could also be Timing Belt Failure, a big time uh-oh!

FI: Fuel injection, of the (CIS)K-, L-, LH-jetronic variety

'sharkfood': any car left in the rearview mirrors

It's been done, but there's room for more.

A listing of these terms and more, developed by Thom, are located within the "ADMIN: A New Visitor?..." topic, located at the top of this forum.

Read through it when you get a chance - lots of good stuff in there that will make your life easier.
