That is not a stupid thing to say, I like it."Where did you go, I thought you were right behind me?"
What stupid things have YOU said to NON Mopar owners?

I rarely bother saying "sure grip" to a non Mopar person....... I just default to "posi"

There were some Chevy terms that just sound better to say compared to official Mopar terms.
Sure Grip doesn't sound as good a Posi.
Drive shaft sounds better than propeller shaft, the Mopar term.
How about Z bar compared to torque shaft?

Is that in reference to shock absorbers?
The action you perform after adjusting the torsion bars.... you 'jounce' the front end of the car to settle the torsion bars and front suspension to a normal ride position.

Another Chevy/GM term that i texted the language…,
“Check Engine”.
I don’t think that any Mopar ever had a gauge or light with that wording to it but people always seem to call it by that name.
The actual term is Malfunction Indicator lamp.
As always, that sounds clumsy and does not roll off the tongue as easily.
Those GM guys must have been masters at English and Psychology because they seem to have the best sounding terms for many things.
