Answer 1

HSW has a great selection with vids on most things.

Wikipedia also has a nice articles on engine related stuff, but it lacks the videos/images that HSW has.

If you would like to learn something specific about your bf's car, I suggest typing [car] forum into google and check out some of the links. Read the how to's and go impress your bf! :]

PS: your bf is pretty lucky to have a girl that wants to learn about cars, make sure he realizes how much you tried even if you don't learn everything in one day.

Answer 2

Yes. Go to www.howstuffworks.com. Search for "cars", "engines", and other topics related to cars. It's easy to understand.
