Default Car Acronyms

What is your favorite vehicle acronym?

Funny Car Acronyms Jokes, Free Car Acronyms Jokes, Dirty Car Acronyms Joke

How about "hold on, not done accelerating". That gave me a chuckle. Ford by far seems to get picked on the most. Don't see your favorite in the list? Add it here.

Hahaha, I hear that. My driving relies on three factors:
1) TPS
2) MPG
3) The proximity of other drivers behind me

I set my foot to a throttle position of 19 at fifth, just enough to crack 100-110mpg, and hold it for long enough for tailing traffic to become a concern, then I have to kick it up to 25-26 and accelerate to 60 (cry) - sometimes I have to MASH it to 30-35TPS and turn the Calpod switch off and let my 10% capacity 650MAh battery do some assist to help me get there.
