can I just say a big thank you to Seattle for harboring the minimum quantity of douche bags driving these type of vehicles around. I am so glad I moved away from that small town in upstate NY that were filled with these atrocities
"Orientated" is correct but peculiarly British (Britain is in the UK, a country in Europe, which is located outside of America, just in case you didn't know).
That's a good start, but you still have a lot of work to do. Obviously, those stock taillight lenses need to go, and daylight should not be visible through the rear windows. I suggest you cruise around Alderwood Mall for a few hours to see how the real playas do it. (Do they still call themselves "playas," or am I dating myself?)
I would argue that the English are as capable as any American of mangling the English language. I would further argue that "orientated," growing as it does out of "orientation," which itself comes from "to orient," is imprecise and inelegant if not actually wrong. And I would argue all this, as an American speaking English in Seattle, despite what our honourable cousins may prefer.
I find it mighty peculiar that you would use "honourable" as an American speaking English in Seattle; very peculiar indeed. Show us your berf sartificate, you secret Kenyan!
@22, @17: "orientation" is correct everywhere, but that's not what @15 wrote. "Orientated" is correct in British English, but that's not what @15 wrote (or intended to write). "Oriented" is more usual in American English, but THAT'S not what @15 wrote, either.
"Orientatation" is what @15 wrote, and it's wrong everywhere. Nobody wins anything.
Obviously a wannabee drives this because the driver's and passenger's windows aren't tinted. If you want to keep it real those windows should be be dark enough to prevent prying eyes from seeing the glowing tip of a big fat blunt.
The only reason to bring up "orientatation" @15, which is obviously wrong, is to make fun of "orientate" by either deliberately or unintentionally misspelling it.
Hey, there's room in there for Dominic and Cienna and Bethany and Dan! You can all go find some news!
Is the Alpine bumpin but you need the volume higher?
Does the 808 kick drum really make the girlies get dumb?

God damn that was condescending. What do I win?

Actually, all you really need are the skull graphix.
Drive out to Ballard, bitch.

So I guess you win nothing.

You don't win anything either, Fnarf.
