That's what you need to know, ya' know, besides driving (which is the easy part).

I'm assuming your female (I'm sorry if I assumed wrong) but, mechanics will totally take advantage of a woman who walks into a repair shop. It happens all over the world. You take your car in knowing A, B and C, but, because the mechanic can get away with it, the sell you D, E and F as well, because they know you'll never ask any questions or ever know the difference!
I think everyone should know the basics. How to change a tire, how to check your oil and other fluids, how to change your oil, what most of your cars parts are called.

Women really need to break the stereo type that were oblivious when it comes to cars. Know what you're doin'! You'll appreciate this later in life when you're livin' on your own! Right now it sounds like a joke and a waste of time. DO IT, take the class! I wish they required it here in California!
