Today there was a car show at Kristina's church. We of course went. The only sad thing was the fact that, last year when we went, her parents were there too, and her dad could tell us all the stuff we were looking at under the hood of a car. The only things we know now (on our own) are:
1) Not everything under the hood of a car is called an "engine." Google Image Search was nice enough to tell me that.
2) The round filtery looking thingy is not called a carburetor. It's actually called an air cleaner, hence the reason why it looks filtery. *ahem*
3) When in doubt, say '57.
4) The thing we watched on Kristina's computer about how a random part of a car works was totally nifty, except we don't know what caused certain parts of it to move. And we don't know what part of the car we were watching...
I KNOW WHY ENGINES ARE CALLED A V6 and V8 RATHER THAN A 6 OR 8 CYLINDER!! WOOO!!! Heehee.
I went to a few websites to find out how a carburetor worked anyway because it was interesting. Lol. Danny's probably told me about how everything works already and I just don't remember. I don't know why I can't keep things like that in my brain. Probably because I can't manage to keep ANYthing in my brain. Le sigh.
Well I have tons of homework to do, and laundry. Probably should stop reading about something I will never be able to understand. :P
