OG means "original gangster".
My point exactly,why do vW people use this phrase to describe something? Now there have been a few crooks over time selling parts,but as far as I am aware none of them have actually been gangsters,maybe the 2nd incarnation of Empi  Now back to the subject,cheers richie,uk

I always thought OG was original, in this case to determine between the original empi wheels, and later reproduction wheels.
By the way, I thnk the 8 spokes on the front of my old cabrio were 14's, and I forget just how nice original empi 8 spokes look! They are comparitively cheap these days as well - certainly a cheaper alternative to fuchs on a late model IMHO!

Nope, OG is Original Gangsta. Term came from the rap world and for some reason the VW community has latched on to it. Kids will try to say it means Original German.....and then they describe EMPI parts as OG !?!?!?! Whatever For what it is worth, the accepted abbreviation for original is orig. "Thats a bitchin Sano Cal-Look car! Are those OG BRM's on that E-ticket ride?"

What really chaps my arse is when someone says "NOS part, only installed once but never used". I hate to break it to you buddy, but once you installed it, its now just a used part. Another one I have seen is "Like NOS!". How can something be like an NOS part.? It is either NOS or its not. One of my recent favorites though was, "New NOS fenders from Italy" --louis PS: Can you tell I have been spending a lot of time on the Samba lately?

I HATE with a vengeance NOS being spoken as "noss". It's pronounced "Enn-Oh-Ess". No ifs no buts. OK? (Or should that be "Okay"?)  The same goes for nitrous systems being referred to as NOS or even "Noss". NOS is a trade name – Nitrous Oxide Systems. N 2O is better but only refers to one part of the process.

If Someone says Noss or Nawss (redneck version) your thought process should be: 1. This clown is a maroon 2. Should I race him for cash or pink slips? 3. Is the POS ricer he is driving worth parting out? Of course if he is driving a Porsh your answers may vary.  --louis
