oh, I think any girl that takes any initiative to work on her car, even if they fuck it up, is good in my book. I'm a player in every sense of the word, and I don't discriminate

Although most females know less than the average male about cars, is this too surprising?? Additionally, I know many males who are completely ignorant about cars or anything mechanical for that matter.

Singling females out seems logical but it also makes sense. It is not in most female’s upbringing or nature to care for the mechanical aspects of vehicles. Most have other unrelated interests. At the same time there are many men who are this way and are not gay. They just have varied interests.

Are women who know nothing about cars idiots or just prefer other parts of life?? If that is the case, what is the cut off in knowledge?? I know more about cars than many on this forum but I do not think they are idiots; they just haven't had the exposure. So what if these supposed idiots had father's who taught them nothing because they knew nothing?? Wouldn't that turn this back around to the males?? To know something is to learn it. If you were provided a car, drove it but was never taught anything nor had interests in it, why would you one day just know what to do with it??

BTW, my girls are going to be taught at an early age. Wait until I get the pictures back from them in and on a Z06. Oh yea, they will learn to drive on a manual transmission as I feel it develops greater skill and attention to driving.

This was before I knew her, but my girl's friend put ATF in my girl's coolant overflow reservoir once. :shakehd:

Naw, I'm just a boring, singularly focused individual.

The only thing I gotta say about the girl and the turbo beetle,

HA HA HA. at least she killed something useless like a beetle.

had it been oh, say.. a 350z or something like that, I would personally hunt her down and make her drink the tranmission fluid.

and of course ive posted over 100 posts in 2 days.. ive been sick and this is much better than laying on the couch all day

Scalbert: You are right. Guys are not immune. I used to have a girlfriend who made pamela anderson look like a dog, but unfortunately, stupidity was a common gene trait in this family.

Karen had a younger brother. He asked us once to follow him to the gas station, and I said ok, I figured he was going to drop the car off for some work and needed a ride home.

We got there and he pulled up to the air pump for the tires. Curious, no?

Without the use of a jack, or fer christs sake, even a house brick, he proceeded to let the air completely out of his tires, and then he added FRESH AIR! This was done by him religously, twice a year.
