Usually, these quizzes are BS and ask you to identify Renault's logo or something. This one from carthrottle.com, however, is pretty legit. !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and share your score. I got a 77% :/

94% 17/18!

For the record, I missed the 3/4" wrench metric equivalent...

94%, only because I clicked "differential" instead of "clutch" for the throwout bearing.

94% I missed the wheel lug question. The wording was a bit misleading lol. I knew what it meant though. Not bad.

83%.

Couldn't remember if 3/4" was 17 or 19 mm. Guessed wrong.

BOOYA! 100%! but these were pretty basic questions there is a lot of stuff I still don't know about cars.

94% , the 3/4" to 19mm was the one that threw me off. Thought it was 18mm

Woohoo! 100%. But then again, I am a trained mechanic (but not practicing) so I should have gotten 100%.

61% while being constantly distracted by work. Yeah, that's the reason.

94%, but I think the axle ratio question was a trick one.

Oh yeah "True Gear Head." Can't believe I missed the 19mm wrench.

Legit? What's up with all the ancient measurements used? Didn't we move to metric in the 19th or early 20th century? Are those measurements still used on vehicles past the steam era?

I am too ashamed to show my score. Does that mean I am not a gear-head? No, it means I don't have mechanical knowledge.

77%, which is way better than I thought I'd do

A couple of errors in the quiz. "Backfire" always refers to fuel/air mixture burning "back" through the intake . If you're talking about burping flames, the word you're looking for is " afterfire ."

Regarding the spark plug one, I've never heard of a "ground electrode." The terminology I'm familiar with is central electrode and lateral or side electrode.

Apparently, all the gearhead. 100%

Also, that tire question is wrong. The 10.50 in that example is the section width at the widest point.

77% because I am not a pro, haha. That should have been a longer quiz, too.

Mattbob > RyanFrew 10/10/2014 at 13:32

94% because I went with an 18mm instead of 19mm to use instead of a 3/4" wrench. Fuck that. A real car person has both sets.
