Really what does OG mean??? I see it everywhere and I really dont know what it means. I used to think it meant original German, but I found out I was wrong.

[sheep]

Sheep, maybe you remember? Didn't the brown Buggy House chop top turbo car have 13" Empi Spyder mags on it? I know they were not 15"

Yes it had original 13"" empi 8 spokes

Empi's story
Chapter 1 - Lesson 1
8 spoke GT Alloy is the real name of this Empi wheel
You can find it on brand's catalogs

Chapter 1 - Lesson 2
OG could be say "ORIGINAL"

Stay tuned tomorrow guys for Lesson 3
 

[The Ideaman]

OG means "original gangster".

[IP359]

It's Stomy Bugsy and Clyde Barrow who design these wheels
 

Thxs for precisions.

[richie]

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

[simon 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!

Si.

[Cornpanzer]

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"

Or "it was NOS before I mounted it" as sales pitch

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. N₂O is better but only refers to one part of the process.

[Jordy/DVK]

 
 I always laugh when Dutch people try to say VW in English and say "Vee Wee" instead of Vee-Double-U (or veedub)... 
 I get their confusion though because in Dutch one pronounces VW as "Vay Way".

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.
