Abdullah asked:


I’m 17 and I LOVE cars lol. Anyway, I’m interested in learning about engines, how they work, etc. basically all the tech stuff involved in cars because I want to work on my own car and modify it.

I just want to go to some automotive school or something over the summer while school is out…are there such places that can teach automotive tech stuff to people such as myself? I don’t want to pursue a career in the automotive industry, but I really want to learn about them.

Some Dude asked:


I’m wondering how many cars you can legally purchase and sell without violating laws. I assume that a person can not buy and sell as many cars as they like without a dealers license. I am wondering specifically for the state of New Mexico. Please list sites or sources to back up your answer.

How can cars 50 or more years old still run?

traveler asked:


I am amazed whenever I see cars from the 50s or even earlier decades still on the road. Nowadays, you’re lucky if a car lasts 10 years! How can one that’s 50 years old or more still run. And where do people get the parts for them?

Why do some cars allow the lights to stay on after removing the keys?

David H asked:


I asked this question earlier w/o details.
I am referring to older cars (mine is and 87 Honda CRX Si) which have the annoying trait of running your battery down because you turned on your lights while driving to work in the dark and then when you get to work it’s daylight and you forgot your lights were on. Then when you get in your car to go home 8 hours later, your car won’t start because the battery is dead.
This design as a safety feature doesn’t make sense for lights which stay on indefinitely.
If anybody knows if there is a delay time which can be set on an ‘87 Honda CRX, please let me know.
Thanks.

crippen asked:


My son is in desperate need of a cheap car. I’ve seen some pretty good deals on some orphan cars, like a Tercel or an Echo. Question is, can you still get parts for these cars now that they are no longer being made and how much of a problem will this be in the future?
