OK, so I know a lot of the message board acronyms or have managed to figure them out: IIRC, IMHO, ROFLMAO, and so on.
But YMMV? Even in context I can’t seem to break this code! Enlighten me, dopers, what is YMMV?
Your motor may vroom?
Young monkeys masturbate viciously?
Your mother milks vultures?
Yum, make mine Velveeta?
Yikes, my member’s voluminous?
Your Mileage May Vary.

It means “Your Mileage May Vary,” as in the comment at the end of car commercials about what mileage you can expect to get on the open highway from the new 2003 Vroommobile D-Lux with computer-controlled frammistats.

I always thought it meant You Might Make Vegtables
