Exclamation New to the site, new to the jargon?

Hi guys,

I'm new to this site, and have seen a lot of jargon about and am very confused. Can you explain some of the jargon you guys use, i.e. what appreviations mean.

Also, when people refer to their car, they say stuff like I have a MY00. What does MY00 mean?

Cheers,

Cheers, but why MY94, why not just 94?

I'm used to the forum style of jargon e.g. lol, pmsl, roflmao, IMO, IMHO, etc, but this formum's a little different.

What's TOTB3?

THINK what he meant too say was the 04 plate only came out in march but it was still manufactured in say feburary but it'd get more confusing when u look at say a MY97 (pre facelift) and it wasnt registered til later soo it'll be on a 98 plate but without the facelift.... can get very confusing

edited: actually thinking about it you could still have an MY03 (say manufactured in jan) and you registered the car in feb but was it on an 03 plate or 53 plate?

Welcome to the confusing world of Scoobynet and Subaru ownership. Its a fun place but doesnt get easier to understand even after years of trying , as indicated by 12 posts discussing MY.
