Here Are The Automotive Mysteries You've Always Wondered About

Cars, like most things, have their own mysteries that people wonder about. When you're an enthusiast though, those things could probably be described as trivial. We wonder about everything dealing with cars, from their manufacture to driving. One mystery I personally wonder about is who determines the placement of the speedometer and tach. Is it arbitrary? Because it varies from vehicle to vehicle and company to company. We asked readers what were some driving or car mysteries they have wondered about.

Welcome back to Answers of the Day, our daily Jalopnik feature where we take the best 10 responses from the previous Question of the Day and shine it up to show off. It's by you and for you, Jalopnik readers. Enjoy!
