Rims, wheels, whatever. I have had people refer to them as the "tire". They are the same people that tend to think that we replace the wheel and tire when they had thier tires changed...yeah.

lt1-ls1 swaps into anything means you have a corvette motor in your car...
but what really messes with me is that people will actually use the corvette motor cover in their swap. irked is not even the beginning of how i feel.

Well, it's really a derivative of a Camaro motor. NOW I'm splitting hairs.

Struts do not = coilovers but people interchange the terms freely and it bothers the sh*# out of me.

I have a huge problem with people calling a torque converter a 'stall'. Drives me nuts.
That has probably been covered already, though.

yeah it was.
if they use a number with the term, it's ok, as in "6000 stall" converter. then it makes sense. if it's stock it's a torque converter.

i guess my point was that if it comes out of a corvette, then it's a corvette motor. otherwise, it's a GM crate motor with a corvette motor cover on it (unless you got it out of a camaro or a GTO or an SS truck). they do make the motor cover in other styles, and i guess these days you could get one to say what ever you want, like "LS1" or something that makes sense.
another thing that irks me is the word trick. there actually is a company that calls itself trick flow, so to say "get a set of trick heads" to me means to go to that company, but that is not what the user means. or a set of trick wheels. using trick like that has absolutely no meaning whatsoever, and for me it just makes the user seem retarded. the best part, though, is when i see it in a magazine. that's when i let my subscription lapse.
there are others that i agree with. others irk me to some degree, still others that i don't even think about when they are used as stated. i am still waiting for someone to bring back "common sense"...

Well, you're just wrong. It is indeed a motor. (I guess partially right, as some motors DO run on electricity.)
An engine changes thermal energy into mechanical energy Ex. steam, combustion...etc.
A motor changes ANY energy to mechanical energy Ex. electricity, combustion...etc.
Almost like how a rectangle is a square, but a square is not a rectangle.
I hate people who say V(amount of cylinders here) for any engine, As in "My brand new, kick ass, awesome, super sweet Camry has a V4!!"

Yeah, got mixed up between all right angles and all sides same length. In any case, the analogy fits.

AFAIK that's actually a somewhat correct term though, is it not? Don't remember that being done before....

yeah, i was thinking that, too. i saw a 3M applied 'clear' front bra that was like a decal, and i have to say if it is like that 3M piece and applied in a like manner, it actually will be stronger than paint. and removable, too.
