O2S=oxygen sensor
WB=wide band
AKI=Antiknock Index(what the yellow sticker on the gas pump means.)
(R+M)/2=Average of Road Octane and Motor Octane and is the AKI of gasoline.
CTS=coolant temperature sensor (not a Caddy!:beerdrink: )
KS=knock sensor
EFI=electronic fuel injection
MPI=multiport fuel injection
ECU=electronic control unit
PTEC=powertrain electronic control
RAD=radiator
PS=power steering

How about this:
Buddy Fucker = Someone (like VSOP) who takes your money for a part he is selling you (like a GT 500 gauge cluster) and never sends you the part. Could also be defined as a crook, robber or thief.
