owned!

this cracked me up!

 

[adnedarn]

hehe, kinda funny. I have a few problems with it.
First, I don't think it is true. (although I do like the sound of a rotary sometimes)
Second, I hate the phrase "owned" it is very 12 year old
Third, I don't think most people will understand it.

I don't get it, and I'm an old guy who acts like a 12 yo. But many 12 yos are very sharp and will get it...I guess

 

[scottychaos]

I dont get it either..
its supposed to be a shark and an anchor?
if so, I dont know what "owned"" means..

its supposed to be rotary engine and a "regular" engine?
then I still dont understand what "owned" means..

Owned is just another way of saying I beat you, like I owned you at basketball or whatever. I don't get the picture either

 

[Dimka]

[PlantAKiss]

*does not get it*

As an abuser of the phrases "owned, pwned, and PWN3D" I understand it. Basically the picture is proclaiming the superiority of the rotary engine over the piston driven engine. If you notice the rope is tied into a noose and is lynching the piston. The rotary engine part is doing the lynching (the owning).

Heh, a buddy of mine made that pic a few years ago.  Last I heard he was trying to get it on Jones Soda.  Oh and yes, the Rotory will always own the piston

all of you that "don't get it" will never get it and should just avoid this thread.

Rotaries don't own piston engines.  They're scarce on the roads and I don't know if Mazda is even selling rotary engine cars in the US these days.  I think emissions standards aren't kind to them.  And, other than for SCCA drivers, racers haven't flocked to rotary engines either.  But my mechanical genes say rotaries are awesome and, for producing a lot of horsepower out of a tiny engine, they're unmatched.

Rotary's have been proven winners in every motorsport possable and yes, Mazda sells the rotary engine RX8 in the U.S., they will have a rotary Miata along with a rotary SUV in the near future. If you step foot in Japan you will see that the kings of racing are the Skyline and the RX7. I dont have anything against pistons, I just prefer rotarys. I have a house and garage full of 'em and I always want more. To me they are like CP's, I must get more.

WTH?
are you serious? the rx-8 ring a bell? i cant belive nowa days on a 1.3L rotary engine, you get some over 250hp on a NA engine. the second gen rx7 produce some 180 at the most(i dont know how much the gtus made) and the same 1.3L engine.

 

[peanuts1gang]

the piston is being hanged by the rotary

 

[wolf9striker]

Is it possible to 'hanged' something?

 

[adnedarn]

Lets just see what most people think!!

[wolf9striker]

Is it possible for people to 'thing'?

Sorry couldn't resist!

 

[Bugweed]

Who cares? Everybody likes what they like, and that's the way it works. Whether it means anything of any importance----I doubt it. Just doesn't matter.

 

[adnedarn]

Engine type doesn't matter?!! To a motor head it does.
