| Iseult | posted 4-Oct-2005 10:32am I have a car? |
| Maarten | posted 4-Oct-2005 10:50am I know it runs on petrol. |
| Maarten | (reply to Iseult) posted 4-Oct-2005 10:51am Yes, that beautiful Porsche I shipped to you last month. It still didn't arrive?? |
| Amanda | posted 4-Oct-2005 10:54am I know how to put gas in it, check the oil and water, and crank it. Oh, and I also know all about blinker fluid and muffler bearings. |
| LindaH | posted 4-Oct-2005 11:19am I know a little bit. I wouldn't know what was going on if it suddenly started making a weird noise, though. |
| Lahdee | posted 4-Oct-2005 11:42am Not really. |
| judgescratch | posted 4-Oct-2005 11:48am Basics only - oil change, tire pressure, fluids. |
| Enheduanna | posted 4-Oct-2005 12:00pm I know next to nothing about it. That's why I have a warranty and a boyfriend. |
| darkshadowsseeker | posted 4-Oct-2005 12:11pm What car? I don't own a car. |
| jduPres | posted 4-Oct-2005 12:49pm I own a car? That's news to me. |
| FordGuy | posted 4-Oct-2005 1:02pm 100% I am a good wrench. |
| Wackadoo | posted 4-Oct-2005 1:36pm I think I know enough to know whether I'm screwed at the repair shop. And yes, I can change my own tire, check the various fluid levels and know what is acceptable based on the temp of the car. I occasionally check the hoses and belts, too. I could change the oil but for $20, let someone else do it and get rid of the old oil. |
| mve17 | posted 4-Oct-2005 2:40pm i want a car!!!!! i do i do i do!! |
| patarnone | posted 4-Oct-2005 3:03pm I learned to drive on my 1959 MG-A sports car. I belonged to several car clubs and did most of my own upkeep. I have been through engine rebuilds and have helped around automobiles all my life.
I would much rather have older cars where self maintenance is still an option. |
| burgundybabe4u | posted 4-Oct-2005 4:24pm Not in the very least |
| RainingFeathers | posted 4-Oct-2005 5:37pm I know nothing at all about cars. I don't even know how to drive a car, let alone maintain one. |
| bombill | posted 4-Oct-2005 5:43pm I know where the gas and the oil goes. That's about it. |
| dab | posted 4-Oct-2005 5:55pm More in theory than in practice. |
| Pomeranian | posted 4-Oct-2005 7:21pm I don't know the first thing. |
| cloudhugger | posted 4-Oct-2005 11:24pm mmmm, used to. They got a little too fancy on some of how it works. Do you mean like basics? Or detailed fuel injectors and electronic parts? I know basics, and what is supposed to happen, but I couldn't take it apart and put it back together without spare parts left under the tree. If I had directions I probably could. |
| cloudhugger | (reply to mve17) posted 4-Oct-2005 11:27pm Trade in your string for one. |
| Iseult | (reply to Maarten) posted 4-Oct-2005 11:46pm |
| verouge | posted 5-Oct-2005 4:39am NO!!!
|
| jettles | posted 5-Oct-2005 5:49am aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh, not too much! i know how to drive it, where the gas goes in, how to change a tire and some of how it works but not much. |
| ROCKMAN | posted 5-Oct-2005 6:58am I know enough. I can do alot of stuff to my vehicles myself if I have the time, but there's things I have to take it to the shop for too sometimes. |
| Zang | posted 5-Oct-2005 8:35am I don't have a car. I haven't owned a car for...24 years. I've got a pretty good idea about cars from the sixties and there about. I'd be lost with these new ones. Too high tech for me! |
| paulyw | posted 5-Oct-2005 11:09am Well, I know how to take care of my car, by keeping it clean all the time. (Inside and out) I work part time at an auto detailer, and I always try to wash/vacuum it at least once a month. I do know how it works in some points, otherwise I would go to my mechanic and talk to him. |
| mve17 | (reply to cloudhugger) posted 5-Oct-2005 12:20pm but the string broke.. |
| cloudhugger | (reply to mve17) posted 5-Oct-2005 2:54pm Cars can be fixed easier than a string. |
| mve17 | (reply to cloudhugger) posted 5-Oct-2005 5:48pm true.. but id need to learn how to drive the car |
| cloudhugger | (reply to mve17) posted 5-Oct-2005 8:25pm indeed |
| autumnlight | posted 6-Oct-2005 8:07am I dont have a car |
| Pyro_Boy | posted 6-Oct-2005 3:01pm i dont have a car lol |
| teatree | posted 6-Oct-2005 6:10pm I own a car? When did that happen? What make/model is it? Did I learn how to drive and get a license too? |
| gambler | posted 8-Oct-2005 5:05pm The basics etc, most modern cars , you need a computer tool to do diagnostics, and whereas when I was 18 I used to change exhausts, change camshafts, air filters etc (u still do this of course) but now to get an easy few extra BHP you do some "Remapping" with a plug-in to your car's data port.
So yeah, better than average |
| bcollins | posted 8-Oct-2005 11:35pm Which car are you referring to? My imaginary car? The only vehicle I drive is the delivery truck at work and they pay someone to maintain that. |

> learn how to drive and get a license too? |
| LordOfTheBling | posted 11-Oct-2005 3:17am Yes and no... Back in the day, I knew how to fix and maintain my old school vehicles that were exempt from computers and sensors. To this day, I'm still a 'do it yourselfer', but I find myself searching the net for answers with these technological wonders that seem to raise my blood pressure past the critical point. lol
If I had enough coin to shell out for a vehicle computer scanner and a basement full of tools, things would be a lot easier. All in all, I guess it's the same crape, but a different pile. As I get older, the last thing I want to do is fix my car, but I can't stomach how much shops charge these days. Obviously, they have to keep their techs and equipment updated... I'm just financially forced to tend to my car. By the way, never buy a Cavalier if you can afford not to... It's a real piece of crap. lol |
| Enigma | posted 12-Oct-2005 12:37pm More than I realize it seems. |
| teatree | (reply to bcollins) posted 14-Oct-2005 3:44pm My memory is a little foggy. When did we do this? |
| bcollins | (reply to teatree) posted 14-Oct-2005 11:57pm I don't remember. I think we may have been abducted by aliens. |
| teatree | (reply to bcollins) posted 16-Oct-2005 1:57am Okay, I don't remember that either. I hope we both didn't get anal probes too. |
| nox | posted 24-Oct-2005 10:48am lots |
| kitti723 | posted 31-Oct-2005 9:40am more than most women, less than I should |
| sonicman | posted 27-Nov-2005 12:36am NOT a damn thing |
| RGirl | posted 31-Jan-2006 10:53pm NO. |
| clare | posted 20-Aug-2006 11:42pm No car. |
| nighthawk69 | posted 15-Jan-2007 3:50pm I know lots |
| mross | posted 1-Feb-2007 12:45am Cars run on gas. You push pedals on the floor of the car to make it stop & go. There is a mirror in the car to check your makeup and freshen up your eyeliner and lipstick. |
| krazykatlady | posted 23-May-2007 8:14am No car, but I own a Vespa. |
| Melf | posted 18-Jul-2008 7:56pm I don't have one. |
