"that thing got a hemi?" = the new "pardon me..."

We should all be ashamed.

what

Are you talking about that stupid pickup truck commercial?

I'm glad that I'm not the only one confused by this thread.

I know the commercial, and I hate it.

I have no clue what a hemi is. My dad starts talking about them and he loses me right away. So I start talking about computers and I lose him just as quickly.

Sadly, I know what you're talking about and I seriously hope it doesnt catch on that way. I can see me hitting people with pool cues in the near future.

Yes,....oh sweet lord yesssss

Fuck, I hate that fucking commercial. If anyone tries to use that line on me in the same way as the grey poupon I'm just going to ask them if they know what a hemi is other than an engine, and watch em curl back into their shell.

hemi = hemispherical combustion chamber. there are other chamber designs like the wedge. majority of japanese DOHC engines are hemi. DOHC = dual overhead cam. sorry if i lose anyone.

YES! the pancake bunny!

Were you talking about the pancake, cuz y'know, it's got a hemi too.

ahahaha.

Since Mercedes merged with Chrysler does that mean that my German sports sedan is now a Detroit muscle car?

um, no... and yes, i do understand the concept of sarcasm.

Unfortunately, the Hemi referred to in the Dodge ads is a semi-hemi (the combustion chambers are truncated on the sides; looks more like the cross-section of an irrigation ditch than a bowl), not a true Hemi. Tthe 426 CID pachyderm (or is it the 472 or 528 crate?) lil_tuffy posted is the one, true Hemi.

This is the 345 CID new Hemi Magnum.

It could be . Check out the Dodge Magnum. Basically, it's a touring wagon with a big Hemi V8 mated to a Mercedes drive train and suspension. Mrow .

I'm glad you got here. I thought I'd have to dress up in a bunny suit and stick a pancake on my head.

Do you see those holes in the top of the head? Thats what makes a motor a Hemi.
