irregardless is one of those words that is only really a word because people mis-used it often enough to where it becomes a word irrespective of it having any real meaning.

I can't stand it either. Etymologically it doesn't make sense, so despite it being a word now, I still refuse to use it.

Russ, make sure to point out that you spend all day on a forum for a car you don't even own anymore.

oddly, this forum is more entertaining and more informative in general when it comes to cars than any g35 forum i've found.

Don't forget to put "the end." at the end.
