I thought it had to do with numbers matching?

 

What do think "Non (or not) Original Motor" means?

 

nice old mom, lol

 

It means that the seller isn't trying to fool you into spending a lot more money for the car.
NOM = Not Original Motor

 

Why not just say Not Original Motor instead of playing word games?

 

Thanks guys.

Too funny.

Randy

 

Non or not original motor was how I always understood it too.

 

nice old man:thumbsup:
not org motor:yes:

 

Here is NOM for you.

 

x 5.312

 

It means Nitrous On Mine.
This is so the ricers can say "NOS NOM!!"

 

NOM ???

I wonder which motor this refers to?
The starter motor or the windshield wiper motor, or would it be a power window motor?

A "Motor" relies on an outside source to produce power. An "Engine" produces it's own power.

NOM, really, is very vague. And inaccurate. Unless they specify which motor they are referring to.
In referring to the cars engine, it should be NOE.

 

Thank you, master of semantics...

Have you ridden an enginecycle lately?

BTW, the dictionary disagrees with you...

n o m ,, thought it meant Never Own Mopar

 

All engines are motors, but not all motors are engines.

And yes, one of my cars has "rims"

 

That's the problem with all these texting shortcuts. Sometimes we have to translate what we are reading. Its a hassle. Look how much our language has changed since 1900. What will it be like in 2050?

 

In our cars, a motor starts the engine - unless you have converted to a hand crank model!

Aside from the crafty word games in ad's, one of my favorite lines is "Factory 396 with 4 speed - engine and trans, long gone".

 

I've tried putting all this stuff in my starter motor, but I'll be damned if it didn't all leak out. Maybe I should try it in the wiper-motor???

The point is, you got on your high-horse and spouted off useless crap like you always do, making an issue out of something that's insignificant, and everything you said was WRONG.

A "Motor" relies on an outside source to produce power. An "Engine" produces it's own power.

Wrong, per Merriam-Webster AND Dictionary.com

NOM, really, is very vague. And inaccurate. Unless they specify which motor they are referring to.
In referring to the cars engine, it should be NOE.

Wrong, per Merriam-Webster AND Dictionary.com

But the true definition of a Motor is not an engine.
An engine and a motor are not the same thing.

Wrong, per Merriam-Webster AND Dictionary.com

I know that all 4 of my ASE certifications are for engine machining and rebuilding and assembly, not motor rebuilding or assembly.

 

It appears Mr69 was on the wrong end of the Dictionary, or just gave up because he Finally realized he was wrong......
I used to think the same as him in my younger days, but became wiser with a little assistance and a little "compression" of the English language.....

 

I wish I was young.

You and Derek have no clue.

Twist that around.
