Eddie44 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Another thread got me thinking. We have alot of folks here lately that are new to Vettes and some that are new to Forums. If you're going to post in this thread list five abbreviations that every newbie should know. FRC = Fuel Rail CoversDIC = Driver Information Center (readout just above the steering wheel)TTT = to the top (moves a thread to the top of that section)CFOT = Corvette Forum Off Topic (often shortened to just CF)TPS = tire pressure sensor (sends tire pressure reading to the DIC)Remember, just because you know it doesn't mean that the new folks do.

MOTV8 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Reading forums can be like learning a new language. But it's the einsteins like Cahd that make it hilarious. And BTW....."FRC" could stand for fixed roof coupe, "TPS" could also be throttle position sensor, and "TTT" could be tremendous ta tas.
