I love semantics!
incidentally, I listened to an interview with Dr. P at Porsche discussing the 918 and he reffered to the wheels as rims. That's what prompted this poll, typically it seems to me that I hear Europeans refer to wheels as alloys. |
wheels = rims + tires (for no Reason I can support)
Motor = electric
Engine = combustion
And why do we drive on a parkway, and park on a driveway?
