What I find extremely funny, is that THE FIRST LINK ON GOOGLE WHEN SEARCHING FOR "Auto Glossary" is an About.com LINK with many tings answered.
The top search for "automotive terms" is also an About.com article HERE

Not including the fact that I know some of the FAQ's on this site have covered most of the Toyota specific stuff.

Even if that doesn't, the search button will answer the question.
