Like having a bald barber...
Hey my barber is bald! Well he is now. I just got my hair cut last night so I told him the story. We had good laugh over it.

Agreed.

Might want to go look up BillMan out on Long Island. He does great work and probably as much experience working with the S as Scott if not more volume. He did a CV swap side/side on my car.(along with a few other things)

I have used them both for work it's just a question of availability.
also minitoyota does amazing work....he's done pretty much everything on my car including a great job on my turbo install. It's just he's an hr plus away. I may just do it myself with the help of another board member, just need some damn power tools

We don't say retard around here, the adjective in that case is "Fridge".

So, fridge, many people refer to car parts in a general way, looking for a general answer. The CV can really only refer to a small number of jobs on any vehicle and most people use that term to describe the whole axle. While it is a little more labor intensive to change just the boot, instead of the entire assembly, most people remove the axle to do that job as well.

On a Chinook helicopter we refer to a specific actuator as an LCT (Longitudinal Cyclic Trim), an adjective. There are many actuators on a helicopter like there is more than one drive shaft (axle) on an S2000. Using the adjective as the noun simplifies the expression as we are all pretty informed about the workings of the machine.

Be careful of the model you make of the world, it may just be that way.
