I agree a lot of guys are intimidated by strong willed women. My wife of 36 years doesn't work in the garage but I know if she wanted to she would be very good at it. She is one of the strongest people I know, just not physically. Once she is committed to something there is no stopping her. She has always put up with my love of cars.

Come on, I dropped my first engine on my '74 2.0 914 - to change the clutch. (I was a poor art student - had no money, but I was pretty good with my hands, so I figured, heck, why not?)
Just this weekend I replaced the upper and lower radiator hoses along with soft flushing and coolant change in my daily. And then I got dressed up, put on the stilettos and went out to a political 'do'. Plus I can probably diagnosis your alignment problems by just looking at the wear on your tires... (it is what we do at work...) American girls can work on cars just fine.

More women are hanging out on Pelican - and for good reason.
The guys here have figured out that most games are more fun when the girls get to play, too!  angela

my uncle told me: the only thing a man can do better than a woman is to write our names in the snow with pee.

No one will ever out iron and vacuum my wife, not even me! She is great!
We each have our place at home and know what it is..... Nothing wrong with a strong women in the kitchen or laundry room.

Joe EDIT, well was going to email or PM you but you have disabled this on your profile! I am going to be in Gilbert this afternoon so get in your neck of the woods from time to time. I travel as well so know the feeling. Drop me an email (my profile allows it!) and we should have you come to one of our local Porsche get-togethers and meet everyone. Joe A

What? My PM thing is disabled? Hmmm... Didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. No wonder why the invitations for fixing cars, playing guitar, and riding motorcycles weren't pouring in.

Women outclass men in all the possible ways.
"Listen, son. Most women are damn fools and children. But they've got more range than we've got. The brave ones are braver, the good ones are better — and the vile ones are viler, for that matter." Its not me. its a quote from Heinlein. The world is just lucky this one went for a 356, instead of something like a Saturn V rocket.

I would have sent one, but I didn't figure you'd take to kindly to a 20yr old that lives 1000miles away.....
I've learned to not get my hopes up... |

Foxpaws, have I ever seen you at the monthly breakfast meeting in Lousiville? I'm pretty easy to spot as I have the only 964 turbo that ever shows up.
If you are ever there, say hi. Oh, and look at my tires, they only seem to last about 7000 miles, Bill |

Since we're celebrating the Pelican women in this thread, let me just say how much you are appreciated!
You add a much-needed touch of feminine wisdom, charm and civility to this place. It would be a sadder forum without you.

Also - I don't always drive the p-car - The caddy has to get his fair share of road time (well, actually the caddy gets more - it is the perfect road trip car - so every year it gets a 2,000 or more mile "road-trip" logged). However, the caddy is easier to spot. And I love looking at tires , but wow - your mileage is like in NSX's range (not good, not good)...And thank you Dottore - us girls can mix it up if we have to... but I certainly go for 'real' and not 'internet' if I am going to do that.
