So what if you are new to cars in general. And after test driving all the pretty cars.

Where to I go for the "dummies guide articles" ?

Thanks!
For the true beginner that knows very little about cars, I often recommend the automotive section of HowStuffWorks.com is a great start. You can find well written articles about just about everything there, with accompanying diagrams/animations. If you already know the basics about cars, sites like wikipedia can fill in a few details rather well.

On the other hand, if you are simply lost in the jargon & TLA's (Three Letter Acronyms) ... there isn't much that I know of that can help. Just keep reading, ask questions, and continue to learn. We were all new here once and it took a while to figure out what some of the stuff meant.

Dragstrip, Tracking, Autocrossing, Driving Techniques Discussions
Performance driving discussions

Post up how you ran last night at the strip, ask for tips on how to get the best time when you tackle the autocross track, and find out how to keep your car running well on track days at your local road course. .
Perhaps it's time to split the description here of the "Road Course/Track and Autocross" subforum away from the original all-inclusive "Dragstrip and Launch Techniques".

Pretty strange place to ask that question (edit - post with question since deleted), but anyway . . . try this.

Judging from the looks of the General Forum I would say No one reads this anymore. So much stuff posted in the wrong places make it a nightmare to keep any resemblance of order.
Multiple posts in a thread saying Wrong Forum isn't the answer either so what is? What can be done to help?
Looking through the general forum at any given time there are at least a dozen threads or more that do not belong there. Some "for sale" stuff being rather blatant.

I am new here but I have a question and I pray someone here can help. I have a 2011 SS and my stabilitrak came on when my wife cranked the car, all she did was move it about 40ft and turned it off. Well about an hour later she cranked it up again and it was making a bunch of noise coming out from under the hood. I told her to turn it off for about 30 seconds and try it again, well when she tried again it wouldn't do anything but a loud click. I am praying that the motor isn't locked up, any help would surely come in handy. THANX IN ADVANCE
