It seems the word Car is a little source of potential misunderstandings.

To me, it has always been equal to automobiles like Ford and Opel and others

Steve, is it your intention to use the [key]word Car exclusively in the
context of road cars and not in train cars in the Parts and P directories?

Umm, I'd say yes.  Especially in KEYWORDS entries.  I can sort of imagine
that we *might* need to put 'train car' in a part's title, but I can't think
of a specific instance of that.

Are you asking this because of something specific on the parts tracker?
