Check out this dude's channel, he explains just about everything car related! He has over 100 info videos.
^what the... WHY DOES IT DO THAT??

Moved it
Looks like a lot of useful information, might learn something new here.
Also, delete a bunch of stuff in the URL to fix that. I can't remember exactly what though. Ask Kona if you need the specifics.
Actually, it looks like you tried to link to their channel, which doesn't work with the youtube tags. You need to link an actual video rather than a channel.

I spent about an hour watching about 20 of these videos. It feels like your taking a class... about cars.

I wonder where I should begin...probably their very first video. I'll definitely take a better look at it in the morning.

Pretty sure Kraze is in college, which would be why he's busting out math equations that I barely understand. Even if I wasn't schooling from home (Junior high was awful), they don't offer any auto courses at the schools I was looking at. Clearly they didn't see the benefit in teaching a bunch of 17-18 year old kids how to mess with their engines
To be honest, this guy is quick and to the point, I know a lot of the things he's going over but at least once in every video he surprises me with a little info I wasn't aware of. I'll only lack hands-on knowledge in the end learning this way.

Back at my high school, I was friends with most of the "gearheads" and no, not the guys who say: "Damn look at that car it's so sick!! It has a 16" subwoofer in the back! and YO check out these rimz!!" And we were only about 6-8 guys. Most other people saw that auto classes only lead to jobs as mechanics with no steady income needless to say, I've had to self-educate myself on cars, physics, and general racing theory with the internet. In Forza 2, I hardly knew the difference between RWD and AWD besides the fact that the latter was easier to drift with.

Yeah I was watching the videos and learning alot. Great stuff!
I did the same with Kraze, not many friends were interested in cars so I had to learn everything I know from teh interwebz.
