Default What can I do to learn about cars

What can I do to learn about cars. I know that personal experience is one of the ways many people have learned best about cars and how they work, but I don't have anyone to teach me. I know the basics about how cars work but I want to know the details about them now. I also want to learn how to tell what different parts will fit in certain cars. I want to be able to look under a hood of car and comfortably know the parts and there functions of how they work and what they do.

any help would be appreciated if you could point me in the right direction.

thank you so much!

buy a service manual for your vehicle and start reading and fixing. Haynes manuals are a start. Automotive textbooks are available from publishers.
autorepairmanual.biz is a good site to check out.

Check out the other forums on Garage Talk;
add-ons & vehicle mods basically change every year...
forums are a good way to get a mix of old & new info/opinion
