Gluaisteán on the other hand looks suspiciously like a back translation of "motor" (from the Latin movere "move" + -tor suffix for agent nouns versus gluais "move" + -teán agent noun suffix). Don't the Brits call their cars "motors"?

Car is said to have come from the Irish word carr (spelt cárr in Dinneen), or at least from a cognate in Latin that relates back to Old Irish carr "wheeled vehicle".

Yup, gluaisteán is basically gluais + suffix  Cheap mé go raibh sé ar a laghad níos fearr ná carr, ach má tháinig "car" ó "carr" ní bheidh aon fadhb agam a thuile leis an bhfocal sin.  Await confirmation always, please.

Cad is brí do na focail sin "Ní tharlóidh sé fad is atá anáil á tharraingt agam!" An bhfuil an focal ró-fhada duit, nó rud éigin eile ?

Not if you read all of the posts carefully, fiairefeadha. The bit you quoted referred to a second query by joe90 about the statement by the mother: ní ormsa is cóir aon phioc den mhilleán a chur It is buried in the third post down.
