How can I learn about cars?

Question

Okay, I'm a male 23 year old. My father decided to not ever teach me about vehicles. I seriously don't know jack except how to change the tires if I have a flat, put in more windshield wiper fluid, change the wipers, and maybe other petty tasks.

Anyone know of a real good website for complete noobs? I want to know what happens to gasoline, what moves the pistons, etc.

Pretty much just like I know everything about computers like the CPUs, mobos, RAM, overclocking, etc.

Thanks and no FLAMING!!!

Answer 2

Go to Wyotech...http://wyotech.edu-program.info/ or

uti...http://www.uti.edu/

Or even at your local college...there may be an automotive course available..

I got my start at a technical school here in nyc and then its just a matter of picking the brains of other technicians and getting your hands dirty.

5hit...you can even incorporate your knowledge of computers into the automotive trade.

Good luck!
