Yes it's an engine, but it provides "motive" power. Who cares? "Motorheads" call it "motor" all the time. "Are you running any power adders?" host asks the drag racer. "No. It's all motor,"comes the reply. It's not what I would say, but we all understand the language, therefore it's relevant. I don't spend any time fretting over this stuff.

We need lots more kids or all the "jewels in the garages" will be pushed to the bush, by the kids wanting to hop up their electric cars
