Does it irk you……………

[Elmo65]

Thanks for the posts. I don’t get irate about it. I just cringe when I hear it.

 

[Elmo65]

So what else irks you?

 

[340six]

...and a wee-and intake.

You know it must have irked someone since the old intakes, vavle covers had "Say Why-And" cast into them.
Those are some cool vintage parts

 

[Hellrats]

"dodge duster"

Isn't that what Al Bundy called his car?

 

[MMissile]

I just know right away they are not a Mopar person

I've owned about 300 mopars over 50+ years....and still refer to it as a posi unit. I say it more around the OEM people.

 

[Professor Fate]

"Posi"s...?
Maybe I'll mutter something under my breath about putting a Chevy rear under a Mopar... but if they brought beer I let it pass. If they didn't, I tell them to not come back until they do- 'cause I can't listen to that **** when I'm sober.
If it's in a post and I start seeing posi, axels, breaks; or some run-on non-punctuated gibberish that makes no sense I pass on by, because if they can't invest the time or effort to compose a coherent message, they sure as heck won't invest the time and effort to accurately perform any kind of in depth automotive work.

 

[ir3333]

are wheel discs and hub caps different. Yah, calling a sure grip a posi irritates me.
probably wouldn't want to call a guy named Roy...Ray either.

 

[abodyjoe]

When you hear somebody call a sure grip a posi?

doesn't bother me at all.. not sure why it would bother anyone. you know what they are talking about.

You can’t blame people for some words being mis pronounced. The name Weiand is one, how about Kiesler? I’ve heard it said Key-Slur and Kye-Slur. Milodon…. Mill-O-Don or Mile-O-Don?

My kind of guy right there.
When I see someone start a thread asking for help and butcher the heck out of the language, I put the thread on IGNORE. If the guy posts a lot with the same bad habits, I IGNORE the member. I used to get caught up berating people that come across as total idiots but that made moderators mad enough to bench me for it. I have to IGNORE the dipshits to avoid the temptation.

It's MY low don, after the two founders, named Don, and Milo's.
But I've never heard the trans company pronounced. What is it?

 

[melcardona]

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.

oh my.........you went and said it.......thank you.....but most are not going to be repaird of the motor branding......

Guilty on this!!!

I’m from the country and that’s the what my granddaddy and daddy called them!

As an 80’s teenager… anytime someone pulled up in a car… we always asked.. “what size motor you got in it!”

So apologies again but I still say motor when I'm referring to an “Engine”

 

[Professor Fate]

Somebody oughta correct Chrysler about that- "Mopar"= Motor Parts.
Guess I drive an Enpar.

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

How do you spell Traction Lok?

And this one always gets people in a tizzy, too:
Road Runner or Roadrunner?
(Yeah, I know which one it is).

Here you go....

I have an 8 3/4 3rd member with a 3:1 posi!

 

[harrisonm]

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

Sorry but you are wrong. A motor converts electricity into motion, and an engine converts fuel (like gas or diesel) into motion.

i will give no quarter here!

Phil put it right on the stickers and in the ad copy!

Dogs are mammals but not all mammals are dogs.

Websters dictionary begs to differ with you saying a motor can be electronic or fuel.

Not to mention the term fine motor skills, in this case motor does not refer to a device but rather the human body, ok maybe we can be thought of as a electro mechanical device that is fueled by converting fuel into electricity. Wait.... Humans are hybrids????
