So I was helping out a few days back at my old school. My old instructor who is now a friend was working on her 96 Impala SS she built with a 60 over LT1, cammed with roller rockers, full bolt ons, built heads, etc. The thing is a near 500hp street car, and it’s stupid awesome. I was joking around with her and said “That’s one bad ass motor I tell you what” in a southern accent pointing fun at Hank Hill, right?
Some student said “That’s an engine not a motor, stupid.” I gave him the whothefuckareyou&whyareyouspeaking look. I asked the student to point at a motor in the engine bay. He vaguely pointed at random things in the bay, and he couldn’t point out a single motor. I showed him the starter MOTOR, the wiper MOTOR, opened the door - window MOTOR.
I told him to think a little before you call somebody stupid. He shut up after that of course, but this leads me to the topic.
If you know what the person is talking about (engine or motor, whatever). Why are people so quick to call one out? Sure I’ve joked around with the “motors are for Tesla’s” comment, but I’m not going out of my way calling people dumb.
Even on major social media groups like Hoonigan, they’ll make a little censor bar with Engine*/Hand brake* on it when they say motor or e-brake in the video.
WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT. So many people have corrected them, that they make it a point to correct themselves. These dudes just built a 450hp Wankel, and an LS e36. They’re not stupid. Stfu Mandark. /rant
