Post#500, aka You Know You're a NEWB

[Crazee D]

Well, it ain't much, but I feel somewhat less newb-ish now.

I just wanna shout out to my peeps in NEPOC!
My family, Cindy, Zack and Rebekah
Josh (ALTspace) for all his guidance and wisdom with my mods
Bazooka Mark, I mean JOE, for inspiration
Ry, Chris, Mike, Lee, Bruce, and everybody else

I love the COMMUNITY we have here! I never knew my choice to go with a P5 would bring with it such a great network of support!

So, I saw that my next post would be 500 and felt inspired to list the essential points of.......



You know ur a Mazda Forum NEWBIE when....

You're still trying to find that "KLUNK"

You don't know who GI Owned is

You haven't had to fix a CEL light

Your sig size was never an issue before

Your for sale thread was locked and people now want to "hunt" you

You have no idea what the difference is between VICS and VTCS
(actually, a lot of non-noobs couldn't answer this)

You've had the spelling in your post corrected by someone who uses the word "krunked"

You can't understand all the acronyms (AFR, RRFPR, RSB, TSB, NA/FI, CF, GI, WTT/B, FS-DE, etc...)

You figure, what could be so tough about replacing a few endlinks?
(does not apply to those living in rust free areas)

You're still excited about getting that electric supercharger off Ebay
(or your waiting to get your WOMP s/c)


anyone care to add some more??
this is fun!

 

[altspace]

Not exactly related to a newbie thing but.....

Broken end links!

 

[Crazee D]

Good one!...added!

 

[MazdaGecko]

When you're happily waiting to be able to add your name on the VICS screw thread list too!

 

[Jeph]

You still can't figure out how to attach a picture

It still says "Registered User" under your name

 

[JCell]

[Crazee D]

You still can't figure out how to attach a picture

OMG, I laughed so hard at that! Thanks!

 

[Moeed]

YOu might be a noob if you want to run NOS, not N20

 

[Crazee D]

How about....

You're still deluded about how does a Potato Disco

 

[Jeph]

Or you know its a turbo, but you don't have any clue why it has that name

You know you're a forum newbie:

1. when your name isn't on any of the 'Broken/Blown XXXXXXX List' threads

2. when you get pissed off because no one wants to tell you how to install a BOV on a naturally aspirated car

3. when 14 people yell at you telling you to use the search button

4. when you ask why the rep point system isnt working

5. if you think Kristin is a sweet little innocent girl

6. if your car is still under warranty.

All i have for now

^^I am not on any of those...yet (knocks on wood)

+ use every smilely under the sun in as many posts as you can
( i hate that )

+ask where to get APC chrome altezza lights because you think the stockers are bubbly

 

[JCell]

you think (HiBoost) is just a settin for your boost controller

you think DaveB is a company

 

[chuyler1]

1. You don't know if you have a 2002/2002.5/2003/2003.5.

2. You post your photos on photobuck or some other stupid site with slow bandwidth instead of using UserCP to upload them.

3. You think Bazooka Joe's name is really Joe

4. You can't figure out why your stock Kenwood CD player is stuck in the open position.

5. You don't know the meaning of OMGHI2UWTFBBQ!?

 

[Bala]

You freak when you find out how many things are held on by 3M tape.

 

[Canecreekfreak]

when you get pissed off because no one wants to tell you how to install a BOV on a naturally aspirated car

HA!!!! (burnout)

 

[Jeph]

I like the people asking you to use the search button one...

 

[snowblazin]
