The junkyards can also be fun for this kind of learning too. Get a Haynes manual (or chiltons if you like) for a typical junkyard beast. Pick a job in the book, or a subject that piqued your interest while reading howstuffworks, and dive into a junkyard car. Just bring some tools with ya, and for a buck and some gas, you can spend the day tearing apart a car to figure out its inner workings. Plus, you dont hafta worry about getting it back together properly and working again. Kinda a fun way to spend a day. Wonder how a CV joint works? Go tear it apart and figure out for yourself. Wanna know what the inside of your engine looks like? Go take one apart.
If, after reading about something, you feel like hands on experience would help ya understand it better, i highly reccommend using the junkyard as a learning tool, not just a parts supplier.
