Cool Site Idea

basically, im making a website where noobs can learn cars, and what can also be (once it really gets going) a nice little database for things. so basically, its noob training land. what i need help on is a parts list (engines, brakes, etc.) and the terms list. the actual car part is basically a "car of the day" thing, which is added onto every 2-3 days. i basically just started, so hardly anything is there.
http://www.freewebs.com/car_of_the_day/index.htm
btw, i made this mostly for a bunch of people i know who want to learn cars, but ucp is kind of advanced for them.

woah! Awsome, my name is Zach too. Let me show you a site i made years ago, that included a secondary car database. With nothing but stats, if you want to get started somewheres. I think it is:
www.sportswithgames.bravehost.com
the database is on the left hand cornor column thingy, although here is the direct link.
http://sportswithgames.bravehost.com/cardatabase.html

Let me know about my website.

If you want, i have a really good book, explaining all the principles of a cars engine,suspension, brakes and everything else.If you contact me on MSN, i can scan some of the pics for you.They are really good.It is quite an old book though... It is from the age when all cars still had carburators, but the main principles are explained really good. It has belonged to my dad.... it is a book from Shell, for personnel only...

Interesting Idea. May I suggest using bullets for the terms page, makes for much easier navigation

Your text is going off for miles in the "My say" comments for some reason, possibly the 'king huge F430 picture.

Super-scroll city (Firefox 0.9.2).

Punctuation looks a bit random - nitpicking I know, but it is attention to detail which makes the difference.

You could do a sort of brief history, picking out a standout car or two from each decade. They don't have to be supercars, they could just be something that truly broke the mould - like the Ford Model T.
