Tranny is just short for transmission or gearbox.
Fender is the piece between front bumper and door, where the wheel well is. Firewall is between engine bay and cabin. I guess it has to do alot with context. Yeah I think tranny is used over here for transvestite. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Feb 22, 2005 - 3:37 PM -------------------- |

Yeh totally agree but there again wings on a car make it sound like it can fly as opposed to fender There are so many pros and cons I like hood it really works. Bonnet is something a woman would wear!!

Ey mama can i HOLLA atchu fa a minute. Ex. for 2.) a.> HOLLA atcho boy b.> holla bak http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=holla&r=f so yes your usage was somewhat correct .. but anyways enough with the useless chatter in engine/performance |

ha ha funny.
i personally am friends with a small hand full of ppl from asutrallia, korea, jpn, and a few places in europe. When ever they come over here to california and we kick it i always learn some new way of calling something. i remember the first one i learned was boot instead of trunk. lol clothing items are also funny |
