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,

 

what model year the car is i.e when it was built - my99 = T plate for example.

 

MY00 = year 2000 subaru
MY99= 1999 model etc etc...

BBTT= Bump thread to top
YHM=you have mail
LOL=Laugh out Loud
PMSL=Pi## my self laughing
SIAL=Scooby in a lake (seen that before)

 

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?

 

Cracks me up

MY=Subaru code I think (Model Year)

 

thought MY was Manufacture year

 

sorry... there you go....corrected...

 

MY (manufacture year) because it doesn't run Jan-Dec. ie MY04 only came out in March.

 

Just to ***** that up:

Mines an MY03... but it was registered Feb 2003....

 

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.
