...interesting comment....I must say I agree. If I had a chick who was all about my car I don't think I'd be as excited if she didn't give a damn about it. Sure it's attractive when a female can heel toe shift but it wears out quickly. Not to say that I do think woman have a place in the automotive world they surely do, but as far as it being an attractive thing I have to disagree. To an extent it's nice but the grease monkey thing don't do it for me...

Yeah, but how about being a grease monkey as well as being able to party and mix drinks?

Danno,
Does she know more than me about cars? I don't wanna be in the garage working on an overheating problem just to have my chick one up me and diagnose the error before me. I got your back I mean nothing pisses me off more than a girl saying "OOOOOH NICE CAR" to a souped up Sunfire but there's a limit in my world. Call me insecure but I dont want my girl greasier than me after a day under the hood.

Well, I hate to waste time and if the chic knows her stuff, so much the better because we'll have more time to hit the pubs! Anyway, I 'thought' I was helping Margarita replace her brake pads (see photos above). And I couldn't for the life of me push back the caliper pistons. Tried the usual pry with the screwdriver. Then I got out the tire irons, and the C-clamps. No go. She figured out that we needed a special Ford-only tool to spin the pistons and they went right back in. Duh!
