How much does the average PHer really know about cars?
Poll: How much does the average PHer really know about cars?
Total Members Polled: 191
Discussion
Hello.
Recent threads have made me wonder what level of automotive knowledge the average PHer has.
I joined this site assuming it was a haven for the automotive elite - people who know cars, people who spend their time learning about them and spend their money buying them. And PH has loads of members like this, people whose technical knowledge I trust and respect.
But I'm wrong, obviously. PH is a site that is mostly about cars and has no elitist membership criteria. Anyone interested enough about a car to google find a link to PH, and can sign up to learn more. This is a very good thing.
So we have a range from expert technical knowledge all the way to people who don't even know where the fuel filler flap is on their own car. But what is the average level of knowledge?
Assume in the poll that all options start with the word "average". I ran out of letters.
Also assume I meant whatever definition of average you initially thought of when you saw the word, so hopefully this won't turn in to a ridiculous argument about which definition of average is best. This isn't a maths question.
Edited to correct splings - thanks Ben
