What makes something JDM?

[YokotaS13]

interesting duscussion, at least there isnt any huge arguments going on

[B16a2 Civic]

man... b16.. u gotta admit its much easier to say
"I have an S13 fastback/coupe", than saying "Oh hey I have a Nissan 240sx 89-93 Coupe" and the like (i added "Oh Hey" for effect, lol)

or you could say " oh hey, i have a 91 240sx"....see how much faster it was

compare time Lol

i have s13 ( 3 letters) coupe ( 5 letters )
i have 91 ( 2 letters) 240sx ( 5 letters)

guy 1: "I've got a Civic..."
guy 2: "Oh ya? what kind?"
guy 1: "Si"
guy 2: "Coupe or hatch?"
guy 1: "hatch..."
guy 2: "that's cool, what year?"
guy 1: " '03 "

It's easier just to say "I've got an EP."

Guy 1: "I've got an EP."
Guy 2: "Cool, what year?"
Guy 1: "'03..."
Guy 2: "Yeah, I've got a '03 civic si hatch."

Exactly how 95% of those conversations happen around here.

what i bolded is exactly what im talkin about...if you say that, then there is no reason to even say EP....more or less that its a hatch cause all Si's over 2000 were hatches ( to exclude the new one coming out)

My point is that the majority of people in my area have no idea what all that stuff means. We're messing with the caliber of people that are still turning their Acura symbols upsidedown...or putting flames in their window tint...or who have apc intakes and try to run AWD cars...

damn straight If they don't know or have no desire to learn then why bother with them?

it aint about letters mofo... syllables = effort lol

S13 = 3 syllables
240sx = TOO FOR TEE ESS EXX = 5 syllables thats a whole nother 2 SYLLABLES!!! In the duration of a year that accrues up and you find at the end of the year that you waste endless calories for no reason, therefore its biologically beneficial to use JDM terms because they are "JDM tyte Y0!", less wear/tear on your body

ok, it takes too many calories to pronounce it, which will help you lose weight, which will help dat ass be light which will lighten the car which will make dat jdm car faster, lighter and a better drifter....so in teh long run of it...its best to not use the jdm terms to have a better jdm car...feel me?

good point. USDM names = the performance way to go.

[BTLFED]

Just passing through......

JDM is used more times in the wrong sense than the right one......just like the term "clean."

I'm going to go kick small farm animals now.

[JITB]
