Where can a 17 year old learn about cars?
Monday, August 25th, 2008Abdullah 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.

Monday, August 25th, 2008How many cars can you buy/sell privately?
Sunday, August 17th, 2008Some 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.

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.
