Stares and Glares
Have you noticed that people stare at you while out and about? Particularly the Hatchback. At least I have noticed.

Eye on Me
Yes I have. I have also had people ask me what kind of car it is and if I like it. We also have a Mazda5, of which there aren't many around, and people give it glances all the time as well. The Yaris really stands out in a crowd.

You are exactly right. I have been telling this to people for years. My Honda Civic was a hemi as well! "Yep it's a Hemi", what a dumbass catch phrase. If the sparkplugs go in the top of the engine, it is a hemi!

Sure it does... All modern hemispherical heads are based on the same theory, the difference is optimal quench area changes the shape from that antiquated "dome" chamber you posted.

Are you refering to this quote I found on Wikiquote? "I have a question, and I know you all have it, too. What is up Satan’s ass?! All he wants to do is fuck us up, the dick-licker! Now the Lord said, ‘I am the light of the world.’ Now, He could as easily have said, ‘I am King Shit of Fuck Mountain. Why would you fuck with me?!’ Now, I’ll tell you what. I am the only preacher with the fuckin' balls, and you know this, you all know this, to say, "Satan I damn thee! You goddamm motherfuckin', shit-eatin', cock-suckin', son of a B!" Can I get a fuckin' A?

I've had a young lady in a mall parking lot that she liked my car since she had parked next to my car and had peeked tn the windows to check it out. On the road very few people notice, as a previous poster said, I zip past them.

this is a pent head design that is typical of all 4 valve per cylinder engines... there is a difference and this one is not a hemi. |

The lower picture is of a pentroof hemi design head. The pentroof which uses 4 valves instead of 2 is actually better than the regular hemi that dodge uses. (allows for bigger openings for inlet and exhaust) They both have hemisperical heads. Hemis are the most efficient combustion chamber design, so that is why they are used by just about all engine makers today.
