One pet peeve of mine is, motors start engines! I always believed that a motor should only refer to something that is run with electricity, and engine for internal combustion. Oh, and your SRT4 is a Neon.
Tranny was a hot rod term before people talked about transvestites in public and before most people on this board were even born. So was Mouse "Motor". Nearly everybody that has posted so far has an inaccurate slang term in their signature.
blower
built rear
vert
how are those innacurate? those are slang terms, which is different than a motor/engine. although i agree that tranny/trans is really the same thing since transmissions are more common than transvestites (sp?).
Motor is slang as well.
Here are a few more These terms go back to the begining of hot rodding.

hm, cool site. im gonna read more when i have time. im just saying, that although 'motor' may be slang, but it shouldnt be. a motor is something else. it is its own unique part. i can see how 'vert' is slang, no biggie there. its just a pet peeve when people say 'motor' to describe an engine.
If it bothers you that much you should definitely write ford motor company and tell them to change their name.
