just passed your test and you want a brand new car? get a cheap runaround first to gain some experience in my opinion then save up for something you'll enjoy (not a 1.4) later when insurance is cheaper :smile:

Owns as in it's better.

If I own at counter strike I'm better than most etc. I think it probably started as online gaming talk but people use it all the time now. I'm surprised you haven't come across it before.
No, it sounds like a bent term for geeks.
