I'm new here, can somebody explain...

What E36 M3 means?

poop

From Wikipedia 

Message Board Memes

Several initialisms are frequently used in place of common phrases:

• SWMBO: "She Who Must Be Obeyed," meaning a female significant other.
• NMNA: "Not Mine, No Affiliation," typically posted in the "For Sale" section alongside a link to an item for sale (usually a car on Craigslist) that may be of interest to the community but is not being sold by the poster.

Several words are automatically filtered to keep the forum family-friendly. They are replaced with unorthodox alternatives as follows:

• E36 M3: the "S" word.
• Berkeley: the "F" word.
• Bob Costas: the "P" word in the context of the female anatomy.
• Shiny Happy Person: the "A" word.

Forum members have also developed the following slang terms/phrases:

• Canoe: a label for spam posts inserted by bots or other non-regular posting methods.
• Flounder: a person or post that includes political rhetoric but doesn't necessarily add to the thread or topic. Based loosely on the National Lampoon Animal House character.
• "Yeah, but do all the pixels work?": a response intended to derail threads asking "Should I buy this car?" In reference to the readout panels of BMWs from the 1990s and early 2000s (decade) famous for losing pixels as they age.

Edit: Slippery's got it now

Furthermore, this is a 1995 BMW M3, where the chassis code was E36 and the highesst trim level was the M3.  Generally, as a compliment and highest praise, they are know to be The Sh!t.  

This is a 1958 Berkeley.  A micro car.  Now imagine one with a 12a Rotary engine installed.  It would be enough to make you drop the F-bomb while driving!  

Someone influential on the board has a long held,  low opinion of a certain sports caster.  

More than just a great place to hang out, this forum is also an extension of a business.  As such and to keep the site getting bogged down with bad words, the forum software is fashioned with filters so if you do write the bad word, it will be replaced with the code words.  

Thanks all!  This seems like a nice place to be.  Like my favorite chair that I drill farts into nightly.

That's how it starts around here and then suddenly you have a garage full of old race cars and weird stuff to run the Gambler 500. 

In reply to Gettingoldercarguy :

Welcome and please stay!  

But, before getting too far in, be wise and read just the first posting of Welcome to the Party for more understanding of the tone.  

Here's another fun, old post for a new guy to get a feeling of who the people are on this site: what do you do.?

Here's a real old one:  You knew you were GRM when...

In reply to John Welsh :

Thanks!  I read the post from Marjorie Suddard earlier and the lack of political and religious posts really clinched it for me.

Politics come up or infiltrate threads from time to time. Don't participate. Just sit back and stay warm from the fire.

Also PIITB means:

Put

It

The

Butt

Yeah, I agreed completely with how Suddard stated it.

Good to know?

Never, and I mean never, get seam sealer on your hootus.

In reply to Gettingoldercarguy :

Please identify your Suddards with a first name, there are a lot of them, not neccesarily a fixed number, I remember when there were less than 1/2 of the current population.

In reply to TurnerX19 :

Unless a patio project is involved, we know who is in charge of those.

In reply to TurnerX19 :

Sorry, I was referring to Marjorie Suddard as she was the the author of the post that was being discussed.

Or POR15. Or gasoline. Or brake clean. 

Also, the answer is always "Miata".

Answer.

Also just shortend to " the answer".

In reply to Gettingoldercarguy :

You will fit in well here.

Be prepared to add many new members to your fleet though.  You'll find yourself searching FB and CL for project cars strictly because someone on here "accidentally found one" and dropped in a LS motor for $50 so it will seem like a good idea to you, too.

Welcome to the fray.

No one cares to tell him what a Crammit is?

Or who Amy is? Still peeved i missed that exchange although i read the summary.

So, Oldguy, aside from semantics, what do you drive, build, enjoy, dislike (no politics), do you fly, hobby outside of cars?

Enquiring minds want to know.....

That sounds like an apt metaphor given some of the more contentious discussions lately

I not only missed the original, I've never heard the summary

In reply to NickD :

That thread was epic. I wished I would have saved it.
