Sorry, I try to convert most words to US, being a US based forum but sometimes I forget...
Below are a few words with Australian - USA comparison relating to car:-
Australian USA
boot .. trunk
bumper bar .. bumper
bonnet .. hood
wing..fender
windscreen .. windshield
mud guard .. fender
indicators .. indicators, blinkers
petrol .. gas
sealed road .. paved road
gravel .. road metal
bitumen .. asphalt
ute .. pickup truck
lorry .. big rig
car park .. parking lot
bowser .. gas pump
overtake .. pass
And then there are spelling differences such as
tyre..tire
