You forgot one - the metal panels that go over the front wheels.
Typically called "fenders" in the US, they're often referred to as "wings" in the UK.
Gas, trunk, hood, turn signals, fenders, antenna, wrench, truck...
Petrol, boot, bonnet, ?, wings, aerial, spanner, lorry...

I thought this would be interesting. As we all know different things are known by different names depending on your location in the world.
Tell us where you live (State or Country)
1. What do you call the explosive liquid your S runs on?
2. The place that you put items such as luggage, groceries etc. normally located in the rear of the car?
3. The large metal (sometime carbon fiber) panel that covers the engine?
4. What do you call the lights that alerts others when you want to turn by blinking?

1. Petrol
2. Dicky
3. Bonnet

A few more;
"Hand brakes"
"Buffers"
Transmission is either automatic or not. Never heard of "stick shift" there.
