Andre, First, it's lesson. Lesion is a medical term. Better to have a lesson than a lesion I always say! The English language is the toughest one. This from my father who speaks English, Dutch, and some German. Second, I'm no English professor, so I hope I have this right. Anyway, you can have your car parked in a garage. You can work on your car in the garage. Then there's "workshop", an area where you would perform work, which usually gets shortened to "shop". But your workshop could be in or attached to your garage! Then, you can go buy something at a store, or a shop, or market. (where I live market is a place that sells food - the big ones are supermarkets) We call this "shopping" ! Don't worry, even we who only speak English get confused!! Question for you: If I'm in Italy and want to go to an auto parts store, how's that said in Italian? (I've assumed your in Italy from your email address) Are there stores that actually sell Chevy parts, or is it all special order? Good luck with your project. Pete Pete Geurds Douglassville, PA
