Why some people are completely ignorant?

I have a friend who has a BMW 325i. She says "I think my car needs an oil change". So i checked the oil and yes its black and almost with no viscosity. Her dash has more lights than a x-mas tree and she does not know what the hell are there for (why not RTFM!!).

After that i noticed mosquitos on my front bumped which i tried to clean and she started asking me "why do you care about your Civic Honda [sic] if its just a car".

I got pissed and tell her to just shutup and get to the dealer.

In HS i had a friend who got a nice Camaro from her parents when she turned 16. When she was about 17.5 she asked me why her car was acting funny. I asked her when she last had her oil change and she just looked at me funny. She had absolutely no clue what I was talking about. I check and there is practically nothing in the engine. What was there was the worst looking oil I will ever see in my life. Soooo ignorant......

People like that really piss me off. I am hurt when I see a car all nasty and stuff. I work for the state environmental department and we all get jeeps to use for field work. (now I have only been with the for a year now) The jeep they gave me was nasty. Dirty, full of wrapers and papers inside. So I took it home 1 weekend and washed/waxed/shampooed it. The whole 9 yards. They all say "what do you care, its not your Jeep?" Its hard to believe but the guy next to me has a 99 Jeep that has NEVER even been washed, and its.. well it was White.. Needless to say they all make fun of me for having a clean vehicle and I park my own car far far away from the door where no one parks... lol

What you drive says something about the kind of human that you are.

Yup…… She seems to be the typical BMW buyer who gives them that “I’m better then you” stereotype.

I know not ALL Bimmer drivers are like that, but I’ve certainly met my share of them over the years.

Yep, I'm looking for something like that

There is nothing sexier (well almost) then a beautiful (heck, even cute will do) woman in overalls working on a car

Now if they're working on my car, that's even better

But i wouldnt only point fingers at BMW owners, most woman in general hardly take care of their cars . Hell my mom has a 98 altima with only 40k miles on it, if you seen it you would think it had over 100k on it. Poor car

Shes lucky im around, otherwise that poor engine would have been done for.

I did, although she is not as obsessed with her car as I am with mine! She is by no means an expert on cars but she sure as hell knows more than most guys I know.

Well I think I figured it out.....

Most of us were brought up on Matchbox cars and trucks.... girls were raised on Barbie dolls.... So the next time she opens her pie hole, take a brand new barbie doll and pop the head off of it.... Watch her her eyes out....

I used to date a JAP and I checked her oil once and I don't think I could even see anything on the dipstick not to mention barely any coolant. Also, she found out that she's had a broken axle for awhile and she asked me if that was bad. Dumb brawd.

I know its off topic a bit but it has to do with how you keep your car. Even though I usually dont give ricers an inch, they are actually mostly caring. You dont see them keying other cars or throwing shit at them. I always see kids with "hoopties" causing vandalism and crap like that. At least ricers respect most other peoples rides.

I know a woman who tried to filled up her windsheild wiperfluid by adding a bottle of water to the engine oil. needless to say she eventually overheated and blew the head.

Yes it is truly amazing the women that are completely igorant to ANYTHING about their cars. A friend of mine had a 99 Pontiac Sunflower, she asked me one day, why was this noise coming from the steering wheel. I drove the car and every time you took a corner, there was this loud "thud" and the whole damn car shook. So I told her to take it into the dealership beacsue that shit was not good. Luckily the car was still under warranty. After the car was fixed she comes and tells me that they told her she had NO MOTOR MOUNTS!!! and "the noise" was the engine moving, I was like WTF, did you hit something recently ? She was like, "well I hit a curb about a month ago", so asked her if could have been a boulder perhaps.... Now I don't undertand how the engine could still have been in the bay, but she said they told her it was still being held in place by the tranny...WOW

lesson #1, never, ever buy a car previously owned by a women.
lesson #2, never, ever buy a car previously driven by a women.
lesson #3, no matter how bad you think your job is, fate could have had you working as a service writer at a dealership frequented by women customers.

as the GOOD BOOK says "these tells are most certainly true"

yeah i have to agree, most women are idiots.

My 3000gt was previously owned by a woman.. theres paint missing where you can tell she missed the damn key to the key hole!

and where she has obviously slammed her door into other peoples cars.

but im a rare female. I do most of my own maintenance. I hate other people touching my car.
I havent owned my 3000gt long enough to do an oil change yet but on my civic I did my own spark plugs, radiator flush, transmission fluid change, did all my own oil changes, installed my own body kit... installed all my bolt ons except my exhaust..

I hate females who cant do simple maintenance on their cars. Damn morons.

Past weekend, some hoes in stilletos were bouncing around acting like.. hoes.. tripped and fell into someones nice acura.. alarm goes off.. girl was like.. pssht.. damn r-spec (car club) car.. i dont even know why people have alarms on their car, what are they for anyway?

sorry i hate females, i really do. The only reason im glad im female is that means i can like men and not be gay

lol not only did you remember my name, you remembered my nick name!

no seriously, i used to be lazy and take my car to get the oil changed, and the idiots forgot to put the washer back on the bolt to my oil pan.. so guess what, had i not seen the oil reflect a beam of light back into my eye when i went to go to school, my engine would have quit on me. so after that, i did it myself, so i could yet at only myself for stupidity.
i also switched to synthetic on my civic so it was saving me hella money.

id switch to synthetic on my 3000gt, but shes got 122k miles and lord knows what kinds of oil leaks would show up...

adding water to the engine opening the oil cap (thinking that it was the radiator) is the most moronic thing i've ever heard from a fem.

I know this girl who drives a new turbo beetle. I heard her complaining about her transmission. She said it always made funny noises when she shifted and died quite often. I told her if she learned how to drive a stick, she wouldn't have a problem. She said, "nuh uh, it's because my motor oil is bad" I said, "what the fuck, your motor oil has nothing to do with your car, dying, unless maybe you never change it. I promise, I've ridden with you, you don't know how to fucking shift."

She then replies, "you always think you know what you're talking about. I changed my oil. I went to walmart and bought transmission oil and put it in last week"

I simply looked at her for like a minute. Needless to say, when I checked her oil, I found AUTOMATIC transmission fluid in her oil (as far as I could tell. It smelled like burned transmission fluid). Not only was it overfilled, but it seemed like she had not had her oil changed since she bought the car about a year and a half before.

All I could think of doing was bowing my head and walking back to my apartment. I left her there, standing beside her yellow beetle. This was about two weeks ago, and I haven't spoken to her since.
