"For the Win"? Still not familiar with this term or what it means lol!!

Does it mean its great? Its the best?

For example, people post one liners like... "M3 FTW "

So that means M3 is the best, right?

Aah understood!! So its is an expression of enthusiasm and is the same as saying "this is the best" or "this item makes a big difference, I recommend using it".

Thanks

I've been on the net for 13 years and never seen this until on this forum!! You learn something every day...

Yeah, actually, whenever I see it that's what I say in my mind!!

Now lets see how clever you are. Using what you just learned, can you guess what FTL means?

As for spending big $$$ on modding Bimmers without prior authorization and annual budget allocation goes, I think it stands for "F*ck The Wife"

(Of course, does not apply to bachelors and divorced ones here!)
