I agree... but then what about the "LSX All Motor" class in the LSX shootout? Are these only electric vehicles?

"Rims" is a huge pet peeve of mine. They're not rims. They're wheels. A wheel HAS a rim, but so does a soup bowl. You don't call a soup bowl a rim, do you?

No,
Rim is just the Rim.

Rim + Tire = Wheel


I hate it when people think the "extra power" comes from the actually Nitrous spray not the fuel.....

fuel? I thought it was gas... Honestly guys we could do this all day since the English language is so screwed up.


I also try to say engine as much as possible, but then sometimes I think of a train.

Then why do people offer "Wheel and tire" packages? Id say a rim is just what the tire mounts to, like referring to a tractor where the rim mounts to the hub/center like in the picture below.



I would say that I have a set of wheels for my truck, not rims.

Just like how people say I got tints on my window. WTF you got a film on window tint on your glass, not window tints.

I say both engine and motor, but I do know the difference. Its just easier to say motor.
