Ed, I do think you have a problem, and I bet a lot of folks wished they had it. For therapy have you ever thought of buying another old car or truck, and requesting that the boss give you about 6 hours of unsupervised time each day, with a garage and budget to match your whims!!! Best wishes, Mike Mike......That's the problem, I have no "Boss" and I have too much free time on my hands now....I have no more room for any more vehicles or I would have more. Budget is not a problem and I am too smart to ever get married again...So It looks like you guys are stuck with me, at least till spring when I can dust off my 38 coupe, hit the road and wave back at all the folks that apparently have nothing else to do but wave at folks who drive old cars.....Ed BTW...Thanx for the suggested therapy that may be a little better than talking to myself.
I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED

So long as you know what it is your are talking about and can explain its operation there are a lot of car parts that are known by several different names, like piston pin, gudgeon pin, wrist pin all refer to the pin the holds the piston to the connecting rod.

Ok, since we're a little off topic anyway, how about "hot water heater?" I mean, why in the world would you need to heat hot water?

I think it was George Carlin who had a routine about oxymorons. He said if the water is hot it doesn't need heated so it should be called a "cold water heater", jumbo shrimp, fire department (SB fire put out department), etc..

I guess it depends on where ya live. I've always just called them "water heaters", and I'm pretty sure that's what it says on the box. As for "hot water heaters" in cars, I definitely prefer them to the gas fired ones they put in the older, air cooled VWs.
