note:in 240 speak, 4x4 means the roof of your car is 50" high and/or you're running a 60 series sidewall, and offroading means you understeered or spun out at a race track. Yankee denotes an outdated style of car appearance. Flush means you can only fit a piece of paper (and nothing else) between the sidewall and the fender, and often all but the top .5" of the wheel is extended beyond the (pulled) fender. Anything else is sissy to say the least. Maybe the forum should have a sticky on 240 speak.

ya i know i was just kidding about the off-roading thing from running auto-x and track days, however that is the first time ive heard an outdated car being referred to as yankee. i agree though a glossary might come in handy
