Default Where did you learn?

So im just wondering... were did u all learn everything about cars? ... I am 18, just got my first car and am learning a bit... however slower than i want to... I understand interior now... (i pulled it all apart).. and i put in a new rad.. but im scared to even think about an engine swap... hahah, but actually. My dads no way into cars, other than having a big truck and hauling stuff.so im basically learning from tearing stuff apart/hondacivicforum/honda-tech...., anyone got any suggestions on where i could learn more about engines/engineswaps? thanks..

There are schools that you can go to, or just keep on searching the internet or this forum. Welcome by the way.

i learn about cars when i was a kid..my dad used to own a body shop
and i used to play around at his body shop when i was a kid
but of course technology changes from time to time...
i start to mod my first car when i was at your age
and i am 31 now..i have got a family car..which by the way u
can see and i still cant forget how crazy i was/ am into cars
thats why i decide to buy a civic hatchback as a weekend car with a project b16a engine
a car i have been dreaming to have and now i can finally afford...
and welcome to this forum dude

i learned from just trying to do something for the first time. i also learned from just reading a lot of forums and websites. there are many people on this forum that have done many things to their cars, so you can ask them as well. there are a lot of resources around here and on the web

welcome to hcf
