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 real truth is that most guys cant HANDLE women who work on cars. Most guys need to get over the whole "shes invading our space" thing. Or they complain about not being able to find a girl who is into all this stuff. B.S. They ARE out there. Go to a rockabilly show sometime.
My wife works on cars, MAKES tools, rides motorcycles, plays roller derby and is tough as nails. All the while she retains her femininity and enjoys it. I'm in heaven every day and can't comprehend a relationship where I'm questioned over buying tools.
Personally, there is NOTHING sexier than an independent woman who works on her own car/bike/whatever.
