Default Old fart question

I'm only 33, but now I feel old. I'm reading some of these posts and keep coming up on things I don't know the meaning of.
What the hell is a "skittle"?
What does it mean when you say you raced a ????? ?
Most of the others I either knew or was able to figure out.

Neon S R T 4 . There is a filter that doesn't allow you to type the actual name of the car

Can you make a filter to block "fast 1996 mustang" since that is an oxymoron?

I wonder why we can't say other car names here. I see Mustang and Cobra all the time. But you can't say S R T X??... Maybe there's some sort of legal copyright issues or some ****. Any mods want to chime in and say exactly why??...

NOpe.......only because there are a few realistic stang owners that are members here. Skittle owners aren't realistic...... J/P (Just Playing) HAHA.

Skittle has been around for a long time......I have known about that one.

IIRC however, Ididn't know....so thanks for asking Mark.

Funny what you can do to a 350 4 speed, though.
