New to /o/, how do I learn about the mechanical part of cars?

Buy a sub $500 car and attempt to daily it.

You'll need to start with a degree in mechanical engineering.

buy an old chevy truck, take it apart and put it back together

What's a sub car.

<500$

Might take mechanical engineering in college, but I also have to take law, so that might be out of the question

First I have to figure out how to take a part a truck, how should I be learning this?

Finishing up mechanical engineering degree soon, does anyone know good textbooks on combustion engines or anything else interesting related?

1. Play car mechanic simulator
2. Play my Summer Car
3. Buy a cheap car/tools and perform basic service, then more advanced services

Buy a cheap car and fix it when it breaks is a good call, or skip all that and tear it apart anyway. take pictures, you have to be able to put it back together again.

get a haynes manual, then just do it, not better way to learn

What about tools?

Also, any tips?

Nope, not explicitly about ICE's unfortunately, that's why I'm asking about something more specific to read

Easiest way is to buy a Ninja 250 motorcycle and wrench on that. You will literally learn everything you need to know about cars. It's the exact same
