!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . It's not a "name this car" quiz. It's a "name this part and what does it do" or "what do these numbers mean" quiz. I only scored 10/18 (55%) but that's good enough for me.

16 of 18 - 88% - "Master Mechanic" it says. I think that's a little generous.

Swag. I dont suck. Not going to lie though. I had no idea what a zerk fitting was and guessed the right answer, so lets say I actually know 15/18.

Honestly though, 16/18. Screwed up on the tyre one, and I still don't understand. The 31 stands for 31 inches of what?? In the UK its 235/90R16 which is; 235mm tread width, 90% of tread width is tyre wall height, 16 inch diameter wheel. Surely it can't mean 31 inches width? That's funny car grade rubber.

I got 15, which apparently makes me a true gearhead.

I had no idea what a twerk bolt was.

13/18-72.22% and I don't know much about parts b/c I specialize on the specs and dynamics of cars and driving

17/18. Missed the lug bolt pattern one. Which I knew just brain farted. I guess working on cars made it easier.

I grew up on a farm and took an automotive class in high school. I'm also considered pretty handy. The only one I straight-up guessed on was the 3/4 wrench question.

The 10.5, it's a different system than the 235/90R16 system you mentioned and most passenger cars now use.

I found this online, this is usually for truck/offroad tires. Maybe some oldeer muscle cars too?

NowYouKnow.jpg

33x12.50R15 LT

33 = Approximate diameter in inches

12.50 = Approximate cross section width in inches

R = Radial construction (B = bias ply construction)

15 = Rim diameter in inches

LT = Light truck tire

I'm 18 and the only things I've done to a car include 1) putting fuel in 2) replacing a light bulb and 3) changing an air filter
