my boyfriend and i have been dating for about 4 months now and i have decided it is about time i start to take more of an interest in his favorite hobby, cars. it would really make him happy.
the only issue is i know nothing! i tried to research it but the whole subject is so broad and i find it quite complicated to identify each car let alone know which ones are nicer. my boyfriend tries to explain everything to me but i rather make contributions of my own
is there any way i learn about cars a little bit quicker? like cars for dummies or anything?
by the way i already know that...
- a Hemmy is a type of powerful engine found in dodges
- chrystler and chevrolette are dealerships, not cars [i feel so dumb for not nowing that]
- they don't make camaros anymore [he has one, its his pride and joy, i would like to learn about these especially]
- nitrous is used to make cars go faster
Trust me hun I have been there. But I have learned way more then many guys from paying attention to everything he says. Now the Hemi is in many Dodge vehicles, the Charger, the Dodge 2500 pickup, and several other models. Chevorlet is again coming out with the Camaro but many critics are skeptical on how it will sell. They are trying to do what Ford did bringing the Mustang back into production with the new Mustang GT, which they specifically made to look like the older Mustangs from the 70's and 80's, but adding newer modifications to the exterior body of the car that still gives it the look of the newer cars out on the market. GM (General Motors- Chevorlet) is doing this same concept with the new Camaro. Using the older body style mixed with new mods in order to gain brownie points from all those old Camaro lovers and also the newer car lovers too. But again, critics are skeptical on how well they are going to sell on the market when they come out. I guess we will see. As for motors... Trust me, if I went into that I would be typing for HOURS on end! Here are some motors you will hear alot that are high end, badass motors made for nothing but speed. These motors are all motors produced in older models, some of which car companies have re-invented. Chevorlet made the Big Blocks and Small Blocks, Dodge made the Hemi (which they resurrected in their new vehicles to raise revenue, which they did successfully), and Ford has the 351 Cleveland. Now when it comes to newer motors it all depends on the make and model of the car so that would take far too much time to go into. Need anything else hun, then message my inbox.
