Does it irk you……………

[Elmo65]

When you hear somebody call a sure grip a posi?

 

[Hellrats]

I just know right away they are not a Mopar person

 

[Dicer]

Got school on that first day here at forum, it's like I tracked in some dog ****. lol

 

[ch1ll]

In the most unbelievable way.

Also when anyone refers to a internal combustion Engine as a motor. Motors are electric. Or a mode of transportation.

You did. Please wipe off your boots.

 

[Hellrats]

I always wondered why people called them "Motor Mounts"
Should they not be call "Engine Mounts"?

Actually, not to be a smart ***, this is not correct. An internal combustion engine is also a motor.

 

[Hellrats]

Now I'm even more confused

 

[Kendog 170]

Doesn't bother me. I think back when kids around here said Hey does your car have posi?

 

[Hellrats]

I always said it was a peg leg. No one understood.

 

[Elmo65]

A motor needs an external power source. An engine uses an internal power source. At least that’s what I was always taught. Although I use both terms wrong all the time.

 

[4spdragtop]

Bigger things to get "irked" about then the word Posi. Once you're here long enough you'll know what I mean.

But an engine needs a starter or crank handle

 

[mopar head]

NO, but what irks me is the motor engine bs.

 

[Kendog 170]

You say tomatoe I say tomata

 

[RAT ROD AL]

My wipers have a 3 speed engine !

An engine needs a starter motor. Some big diesels need a pony motor. Some people have poor motor skills. The list goes on.

 

[junkyardhero]

i'm much more irked by terrible punctuation, grammer, spelling and run on/fragmented sentences; poor communication in general, than what somebody wants to call their flavor of limited slip differential.

to each their own, i suppose.

Well "motor boatin'" sounds better then "engine boatin'"

Hey, I got a computer I'll just ask.
"An engine typically refers to a machine that converts fuel into mechanical energy, often through combustion, while a motor usually refers to a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. In everyday language, the terms are often used interchangeably, but technically, engines are associated with combustion processes and motors with electrical power".

 

[Firstblood]

I always thought I was a "motorhead"
Now I find out I'm an engine head.

Key words... "Typically" and "Usually" Kind of like "Posi"
