Well it *could* also be a delicious drink mix, made from the dehydrated fruit of the Poonberry tree, but I'm sticking with the first definition for now..
One of these babies gives a whole new meaning to "reading your magazine". (notice the see-through window in the side) Just don't try reading one of those in a hospital waiting room.

True story:
During my buddy's year and a half in Iraq his unit was not getting properly supplied with magazines for their M4s. He asked his wife to send him some, but warned her she needed to be clever on the custom forms as he was told the Army would confiscating any personal magazines sent through the mail. She bought some nice mags, and packaged them up with a bunch of softcover books she knew my buddy would like. On the customs form she declared it all as "Books and Magazines" - (entirely the truth) and everything made it to him safe and sound.

agggggg can we please stop this? Rim is slag/ghetto/hood for wheel....... the bigger your rims the more hood status you got and the more ho's you pull... there
Why would you pull ho's. Isnt a rake easier...? Either way you can only work with one at a time.

"define engine" gives - A machine with moving parts that converts power into motion
"define motor" gives - Something, such as a machine or an engine, that produces or imparts motion
According to the dictionary, they're pretty much interchangeable. I always thought a motor was anything that produced torque. A motor can run on electricity (electric motor) or it can run on gasoline (gas motor). I like my way better mr. dictionary.

Maybe its because I am a Western Canucnk that happen to grow up in a tiny town in the USA in Aurora Oregon with a pop of 350 people, but we just called them wheels.
When I moved back to Canada I just called them new wheels. Never "rims" Only times it got referred to a rim is when you hit a pot hole and you dinged the rim. Otherwise its a wheel or a set of wheels. Hey maybe that's my problems I am looking in the new fangled books for 3 spoke wheel,s and I should be looking for 3 spoke rims LOL.
WHEELS GAWD DAMN IT, THEY ARE WHEELS. on my CAR, IF I JUST HAD RIMS I WOLD BE SITTING ON THE GROUND. ------------------ 85GT Soon to be 87GT,93 Eldorado 4.9, 5spd Dual O2 Custom Chip, Custom Exhaust.

I always refered to rim as the outer part of the wheel (where the tire bead sits).
Motor...engine......well, they are pretty interchangable but when I hear "motor" I generally think of "long block" type thing. the actual parts that put the power to the trans. When I hear "engine" I think of the entire fully dressed component (including electrical, air intake, manifold, exhaust headers, etc) as it sits in the car.
Wait, engine? Isn't that the first car of a train?
