"pwns" is slang for "owns" (meaning it kicks-your-butt). Jo0 = you. It's a "fat-finger" joke-thing within the internet gamer chat communities; similar to the old "all your base belongs to us"-thing all those years ago.
Get with it, man =)

Has nothing to do with being a nerd. Well, maybe a little.
It is a perfect bit of Japlish that was translated into a 1980's video game.
Here is a link to it.

The Japlish is funny.

the metallic sucks by dupont nason paint(that's what all shops like one day paint use) it just doesnt look right, it looks like glitter or something. I think the dary flat color would look coll. It would be different, maybe resemble the really old scholl hot rods only mine would shiny. Try to imagine a flat white like on our rx7's and just pretend it is a really dark gray and that's the closest i can come to guessin what it would look like. I am planing on tinting the windows, getting black wheels, and i have a vented head light lid i made that will be painted so i think it would look cool, different but cool........................

Be careful with gray because there are many many variations. Gray is a combination of opposite colors, so it can be black and white, brown andwhatever else, etc. Talk to an artist about it (I'm not an expert). "Dove gray" is a nice light option and "Graphite gray" is a nice dark option, but you have to examine them first before you commit to living with it. Audi has a gray that's popular around here, but I'm still thinking about it. I think I'll get my silver 85SE painted that Maaco white.

your doing the right thing bro, keep at it. Did someone tell you to use 320 on the primer? I have always herad 400 is like perfect, but i dunno fo sho. give us pics bro......the nason paint isnt BAD but it's not as good as others. Its meant to be a at least good lasting and cheap alternative, the warranty on mine will be 5 years so im happy..... i just dont like the way the metal flake looks from the nason paint they are using, the pictures above look good but this stuff just doesn't look right to me...................God bless
