just an idea

There's been some amount of discussion in the past week or so about searching through threads to find the information you need. Well, I had a small idea and I wanted to know how it sounded.

I've followed some threads now and in the past where I don't know some of the terminology used. I know you can search things out but it can be slightly painful at times to do a search when you just want to know a single term. My idea is that it would be nice if some wise soul out there would throw together a glossary of terms that could be easily found so that anyone who wants to know what some term means could have quick and easy access to it. I think there's a lot of potential with something like this. My apologies if it already exists.

You should stick the J in there for 90-94 legacy wagons, and put the F for 94 GT wagons.

Also it should be 2000-2004 for BE/BH then 2005+ with BL and BP

Let's don't forget WAPCE. Sigh.
