I'm sorry but the First Class Honours Degree in Mechanical Engineering hanging on my study wall suggests otherwise. Clearly my attitude, ethics and morals are completely wrong.


By the sounds of it you're the type that learns everything the hard way. I wish you all the best in life and hope you achieve whatever it is you want to achieve. I bet this thread will by closed by tomorrow morning..

You really are Pathetic aren't you? Well, just to let you know, I'm not a dumb ***** as you're assuming by my "Forum Grammar".

I have made my point clear, that you're obviously quite discriminative against females, however I used less insulting wording for you this time! Where you were dissing me for my grammar, was that just a comeback for your lack of intelligence, and respect, because you couldn't THINK quick enough to write something more appropriate to the issue, other than spelling.

I may be 17, but to put it blunt, I believe strongly in what I have to say, Thank you very much!

I'm not stirring the pot, shes actually a very intelligent little girl.

That was meant to be there. Its my way of trying to get intouch with today's youth.

FYI - The word 'gonna' doesn't exist in the english language. You need to replace 'gonna' with 'going to' :

I think you'll find that males who do find that a turn on typically lack a few brain cells much like the aformentioned women.

Its one thing for a woman to have an interest in cars, but its another if she owns something thats clearly not intended for a woman (such as R33 GTR and Supra you mentioned above). Personally, I much prefer the type that drive something more respectable such as a VW GTi Golf, Audi A3, Focus etc

Wait a minute, i have to agree with LilMissDrift on this comment and a lot of others she has mentioned in this thread, why the hell would a Supra or a R33 not intended for girls that is utter BS. Mate im sorry but that is very old style of thinking and personally the wrong wave length of thinking.
I would love to meet a girl who has a R33 or a Supra so i can drive it lol. Im a big ford fan but i cant really go past a nice neat R33.

[Nemesis737]

Geez mate, relax a bit will ya, I don't like that "txt tlk" as well but there's worse words used out there then "gonna"

My sister owns a skyline, does that mean she's not a chic?

And whats ".." got to do with todays youth?

[LilMissDrift]

LOL. and im now apologising to the OTHERS who were offended. I just dont think that its necessary to be so discriminative!

[LilMissDrift]

Todays youth. You were born in the same DECADE as me. HMMM *Rolls eyes*
As for intelligent little girl, thanks, but that really wasn't necessary..

[Josh_XC]

Bahh no need to apologise this forum is all for expressing opinons and its all good. With any comment ur not going to please everyone thats just life, lets keep this thread on track as its a very interesting topic

[LilMissDrift]

Yeah.. I know one of the chicks I used to work with, has an r33, and she can sure as hell drive, not to mention i met a woman once when i was working in the salon, who had just turned 51, and purchased herself a TT 300ZX. So I just have a lot of strong beliefs..

my fairmont ghia's have always had vanity mirrors on both sides... you call fairmont ghia's exclusively 'chick' cars ?

I better trade the Typhoon in for a Massey Ferguson then, maybe a grey the red might be seen as a chicks tractor ai :thebirds:

[Josh_XC]

there are thousands of cars with vanity mirrors on both sides these days

[LilMissDrift]

Not necessarily. Exclusive for women. My Farimont Ghia indeed has the Vanity mirrors on both sides, and quite frankly, i admit, being self conscious i check myself at every set of lights.. LOL.. but.. guys who are heading on a date, or to a meeting, or who take pride in themselves might LOVE to use the mirror?!

True that, it could have a resprayed hood on it off a red, hmmm :

[NeishaXR8_347]

This thread has gone way off the original topic. I believe it is fine for a girl/woman to be a mechanic or something in the auto trade, Why not? At my work (automotive engineering/engine rebuilding) my boss and i are the only 2 that work there and his wife actually helps out quite a bit including, cyl head pressure testing, valve vac testing, buffing and re-grinding valves, cleaning engine parts and stripping multi valve heads which some aren't as easy as they look. To be honest she does a very good job and does it just as well as i would. So i say LilMissDrift if you want to be a mechanic then just go for it and dont let a few knock backs ruin all your hopes and dreams. Good luck with it.

Hey... does that mean im a bloke coz im sittin here in a pair of shorts, a scottys choppers shirt, with my tattoo visable? And coz i drive an AU fairmont (that ISNT MY PARENTS) does that make me a bloke too... have i been lied to all my life about being a girl?!


Well the thread kinda has gone off topic.. however its remotely related back.. back to the sexism issues when it comes to it hey! thanks everyone for ur support hey.. im feeling a lot better about the issue in general hey!

[Josh_XC]

Nah not really, just means ya Aussie with good taste in cars

[347_XR8]

I'm meeting more and more women here in SA that are into cars. When it comes to imports..i'm still learning. I sit there with a blank face most of the time, they know more then me. If a guy was to come up to some of these women and try and tell them what to do to there car, they would be quiet promptly told where to go along with a kick up ****.
Women can know as much as men with cars, but some people are stuck in the ye-old days.
Dont get angry...get EVEN!

im a chick . i own a laser Tx3 (yeah i know typical girly car ) i also own a 1967 ford Xr wagon . i had the same proplem trying to get into the automotive trade i wanted to do a apprentaship but after applying and applying and never getting anywhere i decided to go around it .i did reception work to start off with and went for jobs that could be angled towards the automotive trade (went from receptionist to assistant to manager of a waste disposal company ) and from that work and experience im getting interview for service manager positions at car dealerships ..
age isnt a deciding factor : im only 18 .

i get the stereotyping as well and i know how it feels it gets you down and shitty , i get alot of "love ya car" in the laser coz people thinks its girly and weak , i go home and get in the xr and drive past them and they fair shut up quick with mouth hanging open :P .The way i look at it is : do you really care what other people think of you ?? if you love cars to hell with everyone else . and as far as jobs go work hard and you will get there ,(and maybe try a side door . do some work for a mechanic even if its answering the phone , prove that you work hard and you are reliable and when a job does come available you will have better odds.

just my 2 cents

[LilMissDrift]

Heheh The whole import scene is becoming very dominant, with more and more "younger" people going with the turboes as such. =dont get me wrong here im not saying turboes are only for younger people= however, being bought up as i have, im a v8 girl at heart, but i do appreciate the beauty of any car really.. i too, am currently learning more and more about the imports, i just want to get in there and have a go really!

And as for the aussie comment. That too is pretty spot on... hehe and i was waiting for a smart comment from someone about me "being a bloke" LOL... when in actual fact they're girls shorts, its the female version of the choppers top, and my tattoo is quite tasteful.. LOL...

Lol and as for the doing work for mechanics.. i actually work in a workshop as a personal assisstant/receptionst/events organiser.. and being the only female there is awesome.. because it gives me a chance to be "one of the boys" so to speak!

Do you have an unrelenting urge to forever be scratching at your crotch area and position something else in said area??

If so then I think the town doc has been in on it too _2:

Relax , it just means that you like you like what you like without looking at what everyone else thinks, but I ask you this, how long will it be before the urge to 'kit up' your car makes it's way into your thinking LMAO
