When did it change?

well, that's about 10 min. I won't get back

 

Oh,words of wisdom! HRP

 

"What the f**k is a body drop" was a rhetorical question...

 

uneducated Mini Trucker name for Channeling

 

Rhetorical Question! "Body Drop" is another "I used to be into mini trucks but now I'm too cool and into hot rods" perversion of our unique language. much like "Model "A" five window coupe"...

Thank you sir!!!

Way ditto my friend!!!

 

Hell, when did lowering a car become a "static drop"?

 

if you can call a steering wheel, a flywheel, water wheel, ferris wheel, pin wheel, caster, roulette, grinding wheel and that goofy thing that Vanna spins a wheel, then it is not wrong to refer to tires, rims or a combination of tires and wheels, WHEELS.

 

YES IT IS WRONG, if you want folks to know what you are talking about! In the vernacular of the automobile, the entire civilized and educated world know that the wheel on a car does not include the tire, so to call it otherwise is similar to teaching a pig to dance, you only waste your time and annoy the pig.

And I don't know of ANYONE who calls those items listed above (except for maybe the Vanna thing) a wheel, without the descriptive that goes with ~ ie: STEERING Wheel - no one just calls it a wheel

 

The builders get fed up of posting their progress. Stupid threads like this get more posts in a day than my latest build thread got in 6 months. Go figure!

Levity my friend,,Levity! HRP

 

....but can I still call 'em mags, if they're not made out of magnesium ?

 

Sure, Cuz "Alums" would just sound Silly

 

Body Drop.... isn't he the midget from Jackass?

 

You guys have way too much time on your hands

 

Nah, it's just 108 in my shop right now...

 

Hee,hee, hee.

 

....you sir need to seek a more refined pig.....

 

hey, speak for yourselves, I been busy! I just came back inside from sanding a bunch of crappy, twenty year old rattle can black off the tank for my '70 daytona so I could expose the original Jacaranda Purple and get a color match. But I can ALWAYS find the time to jack-ass around on the HAMB!!
Kinda makes me think about stirring up the shit with a "So they say you cant color sand metallic lacquer" thread, but a bunch of guys will bust on me for posting off-topic photos of bike parts...

Man, just LOOK at how that 45 year old purple lacquer is cracked, checked and faded back. Sad, sad...

 

That's Wee Man. And he's not a midget, he's a little person.

Body Drop was on Monster Garage.

 

You guys just made me spray lemonade outta my nose...

 

Yep. Life is too short to worry about semantics.

 

There is more to worry about,, like why guys call their engines, motors

 

Now i was told that started when my great great Tata bought his first charp chort when he said engine they thought he was talking about a distant relative from Arizona....so he called it a motor......or so was the story passed down....

 

Easy - have you ever heard of General Engines, the Ford Engine Company, American Engine Corp, Buick Engine Division, Harley Davidson Engine Co., Pontiac Engine Division, Bayerische Engine Werke, Honda Engine Company or the Yamaha Engine Compnay

Do you go for a ride on an Enginecycle?

Early automobiles weren't called Enginecars and you didn't drive them on the Engineway

The magazine isn't Engine Trend

 

You are wrong, just the other day my wife started to sneeze, and she yelled "GRAB THE WHEEL". I dont think she meant the front or rear wheel. Larry

 

Damn...this whole thing made me think...(and you know it's gonna be fucked up ) about Vanna on...('ya ready? )...RIM of Fortune..!! If you win...she rims you !!! nothing like a tongue lock on the turdblock

 

Everybody duck!!!!!!

 

True,but have you ever heard of a steam motor or a fire motor? HRP

 

Hey Honey I'm home .... Wow this thread ran all day? I think I will take a nap now.

 

Now THATS some funny "shit" right there!!! I'm gonna go back out side and work on my enginecycle now...
