In your sig, you list a "JAP SPEC SR20DE"

You may not know this, but there are many people who are Japanese or of Japanese descent who see the work Jap as a racial slur. I realize you probably didn't know this. I'm sure many don't, that is why I am posting this publicly.

JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) is a much prefered abbreviation.

For those who are wondering why this may be offensive, I'm certain it goes back to WW II

While I tend to not be very PC, this kind of goes beyond being PC.

I just thought you and others might like to know this. It's not meant to single you out or pick on you.
I am sorry. No offense was meant by it. I am better off knowing this and I am glad you posted this publicly. I will change this immediately.
