What is the difference in an Engine, and a Motor?

Motor

Engine

I 100% agree with you on this. My auto mechanics teacher would refuse to answer anyone's question when they refered to the engine as a motor. He would usually reply, "what motor? the windshield wiper motor?" I thought it was pretty funny, but that brings me to my next point...Why is it called a MOTORcycle? I asked him and he didnt know. Honestly, I dont know if anyone does...

In the early years of automobiles in Europe they were called motorcars or motorcoach. You mentioned motorcycles but don't forget about motorboats too. So is it a boat engine or boat motor? They're internal combustion engines but most everyone refers to them as motors

Plus you have "motorsports" and don't forget about track names...Atlanta Motor Speedway, Lowe's Motor Speedway, etc. But they're circle tracks so I write them off as ignorance
