external-combustion engine

A fluid-fuel-powered motor that is so poorly designed/maintained that its exterior actually catches fire.

One should periodically check "under the hood" for oil-leaks to reduce the chance of said power-plant's becoming an external-combustion engine.

One who is addicted to engines has a constant almost never ending need to build and spend money on the motor vehicles one owns. For example; cars, trucks, atvs, snowmobiles, motorcycles, scooters and etcetera. This person may have list written down or in their phone of all the parts they want with prices. These lists will be long and contain almost every aftermarket part available or just everything that makes a big difference in power, handling, reliability and of course looks. They may also have lists like this for vehicles they dont even have yet. These addicts are always looking for more vehicles to dump more money into them so they will have a close eye on the online classified sites for those projects and cheaper parts. If one finds the exact part that they already decided they wanted at what they think is a good deal there is no stoping the purchase from happening. Some addicts can just sell what they built just because something new came out. Others will hold a stronger than sentimental attachment to the build after its done and never think of selling it because they know how much theyd loose selling but will still by the new one regardless. These people become full of joy when they get a new part, new vehicle, drive the vehicle and even cleaning them. Serious depression can occur to an engine addict to lose all there vehicles
