Turbo and superchargers were available on some 30s cars.
I bet you are still wonder why the term "24 skidoo" dropped out of use.

3 pages and nobody mentioned the word Dope which now means awesome.

For example if you walk into your local Foot Locker and the sales kid sees your Jordans he might say: "Yo dawg those kicks are dope!"

Can you imagine the "forum" questions back then......

* where is the choke knob ..??

* when do I pull it out ..??

* how far do you pull it out ..??

* how long do I leave it pulled out ..??

* What will happen if I don't pull it out ..??

* I ordered a JDM choke knob, how do I install it .. ??

* I installed a short throw choke knob ....only have to pull it out half as far

* The choke knob pulled out all the way .....and there is a long wire hooked to it .... what should I do .. ??

* I forgot to push the choke back in after driving for several miles, did I do damage to my engine .. ??

* my manual choke is faster than your automatic choke

I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned the word "cock".
As in "I love stroking my cock".

Our '82 Honda Accord didn't have a choke knob or lever that I can recall, just needed to wait for the WARM light to go off before pulling out.

Ricer Note: Before DOHC VTEC decals came about, all the cool Honda cars had 16 Valve PGM-FI decals on the doors.

In fact just a couple of days ago I said "I would rock that car" in a thread on this very forum. How is it acceptable to you that terms that came to use through jazz are fine but those that came from other sub cultures are all wrong? It is probably more related to your own participation in the Jazz sub culture than anything else.
Thanks for the thoughts, T. I purposely refrained from any reference to jazz lingo in my previous post, but rather just referenced the same original meanings of "cool" and "hot" that you did; I still see a distinction between their modern, still relatively accurate usage, and the usage of the other words that don't sit as well with me. A girl that is "hot" may not feel significantly warmer to the touch, but she may excite you, raise your temperature, and if she's aware of her hotness, she may end up manipulating you and "burning" you. Play it "cool".. expend less energy.. stay relaxed rather than tense.. conserve motion... morphing into another positive adjective that is applied to anything exhibiting qualities that are intriguing w/ maybe a little mystery involved. Something like that.

Taking your statement, "I would rock that car." What is meant by that? If you mean that, if you had access to it or owned it, you'd drive it so aggressively that you and the car would be on the edge your and its performance envelopes the majority of the time and that you'd be sweating bullets from exertion while doing so, then yeah, baby, you're rocking that car. If you mean that you like the car and wouldn't mind driving it to the grocery store, then I'm not sure "rock" makes as much, if any sense.

And, yes, whenever I see FI, I simply can NOT stop reading it as "Fuel Injection." I get that the world moves on and I don't. Doesn't mean I have to like it!

Best to you..

Barry

Cutting in here ....... I reckon what ol @Tcoat meant by "rocking a car" is that his cars usually had dead batteries, so, in order to start them, he had to "rock" them off of the wheel's flat spot, to get them rolling ...... then jump it, slam it in gear, pop the clutch .....and roar off .......
