Here's the thing guys if your not hispanic I dought that you will get this trough your head simply as we know what it means and makes it sound good. We cannot go around and call our trucks just by the name since in spanish sounds just plain weird (this is the part I was talking about) Take La Grape for example if he just says this is my truck grape WTF that sounds weird doesn't it. Now if he says this is my truck LA GRAPE then it makes it sound better atleast for us it does. Just like most of you have the in front of your trucks names.

This comment was not meant to stir anything up im just trying to explain it as best that I can.

I dont think you have to be hispanic to understand it, I understood it before you "got it through our heads".

I don't think he was implying it was you ls1CANTU that said that, I think he was linking to the other member that said it.

By the way, yes, having a "La" in front of your screen name makes is much the same as having an "A" or a # in front of it

I agree with you 100% that it sounds better. I think for me and the person that asked the question, was just why so many people are making names that require a La.
It's absolutely fine, the point is the repetitiveness of it. It's not really the word itself that's bothersome.
As you say just like "the" or perhaps "lil". If there was a butt load of people that showed up and they all started putting "the" or "lil" in front of their names you'd be asking why so many people are doing that.
Back in my chat days there was a LOT of people using LIL in their screen names. God that got annoying.
I don't think anyone has a problem with it being done, but eventually (regardless of what's being used) you just wana scream "Stop already!".
Originally, when I seen the name La Grape (which i hadn't seen before). I thought it was ANOTHER La name. Didn't realize it was just La Turtle changing his, because it had already been changed at the time.
And lets not get started on BRO. That one is not only annoying, but addicting to start doing.
LoL
Damn this thread is going on forever. La Grape. What are your goals on the van. You just gonna get in the 14s and stop? or you gonna keep adding more on later down the road?

Checkin back in a few hours. Gotta go to bed.
