Car 101: Test Your Knowledge Of Fundamental Car Terminology

Ordinary people who aren't that much into cars don't seem to worry about knowing how to talk about their car in the most precise, technical way possible. After all, what does it matter how many pound-feet of torque your vehicle has and what's the transmission gear ratio if its only purpose is to take you from point A to point B?

But most drivers out there aren't really car enthusiasts, just like most people who wear clothes aren't crazy about the latest fashion trends - so that's completely fine!

However, as soon as you start getting into the car enthusiast culture, you discover a whole vocabulary of strange terms and phrases. Some of them are relatively new and come from jargon, and others have been around forever - but nobody seems to know what they actually mean. 

That's what we're trying to fix with this quiz! Whether you're a veteran car lover or just starting to appreciate automobiles, we're sure that you'll pick up a few words to impress your car loving friends after completing this quiz. 

So jump right in and test your knowledge of the fundamental car terminology!
