I wanna know everything there is to know about them. I'm currently a sophomore and have the option of going to this career center thingy next year for cars, would that be the way to go?
Answer
That could be a great way to start because you would get hands-on experience in a place that is professionally set up so you probably don't have to buy a lot of tools or have a garage/area of your own. The question is, what kind of cars do you want to restore? Officially, any car over 30 yrs old is an "antique", but that means cars from the 1970's. Is that what you mean, or more like the 40's, 30's or 20's? Do you want to do "true" restoration, back to the original, or do you want to make hot rods, or _____? Think it over and ask yourself some questions.
Look on the internet for an automotive club in your area. There are all sorts of car clubs -- for real antiques, race enthusists, etc etc etc. Go online and go to the organization websites, join and talk to people. They are really fun and interesting people who are enjoy what they do. Read blogs, go to local shows and drive-in rallies, etc. (Just be safe when you exchange info or make plans to meet someone!) People will be very happy to take a newbie under their wing and share their knowledge with you if you are polite and sincere.

I'm a guy and I don't know much about cars and I feel like I should. What's the best way to learn more about cars?
Answer
Listening to "Car Talk" is a great way to learn, and outrageously fun/funny.
It is a radio show about cars, but they guys mostly just joke around.
You need to get your hands dirty to learn about fixing them, which is hard these days because modern cars tend to be computerized.
Offer to help someone you know who is knowledgeable about cars. There are local auto clubs and shows, which are a great source of info.
