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,

: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.
