    Why do we buy motor oil for our engine?:huh:

    Have you ever asked for a quart of engine oil? :tsk:

    Do we have an engine rebuild or a motor rebuild? :hmmm:

    How much horsepower does your motor make? :confused:

    Does your engine produce 300 horses? :huh:

    Well, having worked in the electrical maint. area of power stations I was always taught that a motor runs on electricty and an engine is internal combustion, steam or the like.
    Motors are rated in HP though. My planer has a 3 hp motor on it.
    I never looked but does it say motor oil on the bottles?
    Now I have to go back out to the shop to look. lol

    Yep, sure does. Guess I'll start calling it a motor then, thanks, saved me a trip out to the shop in the rain.
    At least we are getting some rain.

    i have always wanted to know why we drive on a park way and park on a drive way


    and also this is some food for thought

    it is legal to drink and get drunk, but it is illegal to drink and drive... and most people drive to a bar to get drunk ....why are there parking lots at bars? after all we drove there sober and now that we are drunk we cant drive home legally... so i bet if there wasnt parking lots at bars there would be far less DWI tickets...

    if they dont want us drinking and driving, then stop serving alcohol to people who DROVE to a bar...
