    I would say learning about cars comes less with just going out and reading but more from experience. Or at least just floating around reading forums for a couple of years.

    Theory comes before practical
    how can you do diy if you don't know what you're doing!

    are u sure u looked at the 'new to cars' thread? there are some good sites under 'how cars work' (the first 2 links don't work) but i don't see how you can 'not learn much' from there.

    i also think http://www.carbibles.com/ is good.
    but then again i'm pretty nooby at cars too so what i think is good might be crap =/

    I learned alot by things breaking and labour being alot of money when I studied lol

    sooo much info in both written manuals (nothing beats hard copies, sure pdfs are easy but I have everything printed for ease of reference), pdfs, google searches, because generally at least one person has been in the same problem that you will ever occur, unless it's a brand new model in which case it can take at least two years for legitimate information to surface lol

    owning an older Nissan 88-00 will make/force you learn alot, jks jks, lol
