JB is that why they don't call them internal combustion motors?<br /><br /><br />Any way, back to the question at hand......could it be a retailer that is not in the American market?

Re: Can anyone tell me

Funny, but I've given up on the whole motor engine thing. I was taught engines make power, motors require power. Sadly, I think NASCAR has permanently sent that distinction the way of the dinosaur.<br /><br />Said by any driver, but I think I'd prefer Sterling Marlin, "the motor just blowed up, sumpin' a do widda flangelrod, I dunno".<br /><br />You could technically say that engines only convert power, which is what a motor does too. Fact is an engine aint diddley without fuel . . .
