Be nice and open to girls who want to learn about cars. Don't make fun of them or tease them if they don't know something. Don't question them about why or ask "have you EVER worked on cars before?"

Give them credit that they even have the balls to attempt to tackle it. Ok, that's all. I'm just venting. Most guys on this PP forum are pretty nice. I have just gotten the opposite reaction on the street. And just for the record, this woman is my hero too. I would love to have a 356. Maybe I need to tap HER for her knowledge...

The deal is, the guys HERE are mostly car guys (including getting dirty, not just driving). WE would like this sort of girl assuming she's also feminine. I think Tomboys rock, a girl that's definitely a girl, but isn't scared to get dirty or break a nail, and doesn't have to spend a ton of time getting ready all of the time.

There are plenty of guys who are NOT car guys. If a guy doesn't know anything about cars, or doesn't care about cars, or the depth of his appreciation is "it's cool", "it's fast" or "it's a chick magnet", he's not going to be interested or understand if a girl is interested.

The deal is, you have to understand and approach the right guys about your interest.

The one time that you might find an exception about a guy that is into cars and doesn't want you to be into them too is if he's trying to hard to appear masculine and your interest would interfere with that. That's alright, they probably have little peepees anyway or they wouldn't be having to prove anything.
