Blame these dumb asses. They were so stupid. They didn't know an engine from a motor. David Buick-Buick Motor Co Henry Ford-Ford Motor Co Ransom Olds-Olds Motor Works (1896) Roy Chapin-Hudson Motor Works William Durant-General Motors Louis Chevrolet-Chevrolet Motor Co Wm Harley & Arthur Davidson-Harley Davidson Motor Co Ole Evanrude-Evanrude Motor Co Etc,

incidently, the marketing material for the companies say motor this motor that, company name, brand name, etc.. but the shop manuals dont refer to it as Motor section, its always Engine .. I havent seen motor mentioned in the manuals has anyone else?

:Comp: An Engine changes Heat Energy into Mechanical Energy,whereas a motor changes electrical energy,into mechanical energy,isn't that right? Well if that's so,then a Buick is neither...A Buick is a device that converts TORQUE into Tire Smoke:3gears: ,Unsuspecting Chevys,Fords and other NON-Buicks into blips in rearview mirrors,and Buick owners into the BEST CAR owners on the PLANET...(at least this forum site attests to THAT!)Could I be heading in the RIGHT DIRECTION?:TU: Jay B.Britt,Jr.
On my way to the store for some toilet paper (that went over the top not under the bottom) I lost my COO-pon (not Q-pon) under my MOTOR mount. Last time i said "Engine" a Native American fellow punched me in the back of the head.:laugh: and I spit my "pop" out everywhere.
