| Frostbrand | posted 20-Jan-2009 9:02am I know a few women who are tottaly into cars.
I however am not. I don't care about cars, I don't own a car, I've no intention of owning a car anytime soon, and I never even bothered to learn how to drive that's how little I care about cars. Yeah, that's right, I'm 26 (27 in 12 days) and I don't know how to drive. What of it? |

| RainingFeathers | posted 20-Jan-2009 10:14am No, I know some women who are really into cars. I'm not one of them, but there are some around. |
| RainingFeathers | (reply to Frostbrand) posted 20-Jan-2009 10:16am That sounds like me. Everyone asks when I'm finally going to get a car. I tell them I have no intention of ever owning one, or of learning to drive one. People don't seem to understand that point of view. |

| LJD | posted 20-Jan-2009 11:47am I like a reliable car. But, the mechanics, is a man's world I believe. I love my Mercury Grand Marqui, very reliable, never had it in a garage, just change the oil. |
| Galomorro | posted 20-Jan-2009 12:24pm I'm a guy and I don't like cars at all. Never did. Don't even like to ride in them; I have a kind of car-phobia. Don't think they look good either, except for some of those tiny compact ones and extreme ones like Lamborghinis. To me, cars are dangerous weapons and are always in pedestrians' way, especially when they're allowed in some of our big parks and hikers have problems crossing the busy streets. Besides being more dangerous than planes (causing more accidents), they pollute, take up too much room, are ugly for the most part, and are much too expensive - parking, insurance, tuneups, etc. I'm all for faster and better public transportation to more varied places, like bullet-trains and expanded subway systems, monorails, etc. -- but do like cable cars and old-fashioned streetcars as well. I'm also sure that there are plenty of women who like cars. I don't know how to drive and never wanted to learn. |
| Frostbrand | (reply to RainingFeathers) posted 20-Jan-2009 12:52pm I've been lucky so far, most people are totally cool with my lifestyle choice there. The only person who has ever really given me crap over it was Vietnamese immigrant I worked with at my oxygen plant job in 2001 who kept going on about me "not being a real man" because I wasn't dating and didn't have a car. |

| bill | posted 20-Jan-2009 1:01pm No. My wife proves this. She's way more into cars than me. |
| JessicaWoman99 | posted 20-Jan-2009 1:21pm No it is women who love cars as well |
| southernyankee | posted 20-Jan-2009 3:54pm No, I am sure a lot of women like them too. |
| FauxLo | posted 20-Jan-2009 6:09pm Yes. All women hate cars. |
| cerealkiller | posted 20-Jan-2009 6:13pm No. The lady across the street (late 50's) is always washing her convertible sports car. Even wipes it down before leaving in the morning if there is dew on it. She is a bit weird though. She periodically removes the large river rocks from the landscaping, washs them one by one and then puts them back. |
| LindaH | posted 20-Jan-2009 8:35pm In stereotypeville, it is. |
| Joanne | posted 20-Jan-2009 10:25pm Aaaghh.
Wait. Maybe you've got something there. If it IS just men who like cars, that might explain the Big 3 needing a bail out. |
| Matty | posted 21-Jan-2009 8:54am No, Americans in general love cars. |
| Cain | posted 21-Jan-2009 3:46pm No.Me likey cars!!
Don't know much about them though, just that they're pretty! |
| Iseult | posted 21-Jan-2009 4:09pm No. I like them, too. I was the one who innititated last week that we go to the auto show. |
| they | posted 21-Jan-2009 10:34pm No, because I like 1988 Dodge Omnis. |
| Pomeranian | posted 22-Jan-2009 6:37am of course not. |
| jen | posted 22-Jan-2009 8:15am certainly not. |
| jen | (reply to LindaH) posted 22-Jan-2009 8:17am > In stereotypeville, it is.
HA! LOL! |
| jen | posted 22-Jan-2009 8:19am I must say also that the mechanics of cars are NOT a man's world. I would even argue that women are better at that stuff than men, for several reasons. |
| docgbrown | posted 24-Jan-2009 7:13am No |
| JohnCD | posted 26-Jan-2009 12:15am There are women who like cars also, but very few of them know about the mechanics of cars or how to repair them. Working on cars is definitely a man thing; not that I think there is anything wrong with women working on them, but very few have any interest in it and therefore, don't have the knowledge. My wife and I currently own three vehicles in addition to the two classic cars I am rebuilding. |
| cloudhugger | posted 13-Feb-2009 11:37am No, knuckle dragging neanderthals are the only ones who likes cars.
wtf |
| cloudhugger | (reply to jen) posted 13-Feb-2009 11:48am I was a mechanic at a nuclear power plant. I learned so much there. One thing I learned is men make women think they cannot do the job, or men have convinced the world that only men can do the job is because it is not hard. It is easy work.
They make it harder than it needs to be, they get really dirty, they spend an enormous amount of time doing stupid crap, it's all an act. They get to use all the good toys. Fork truck driving used to be a man's job. Women were not qualified. I actually believed that until I drove the fork truck. OMG that is the easiest job. At my first job, us women doing womens work on the assembly line, and the young guys driving the fork trucks around endlessly all day, dropping off a few boxes here and there. I think all those old Polish ladies just wanted to look at his butt. I still have a hard time here in 2009 that men think women cannot do what has been reffered to as man's work. They can have the crappy jobs that require heavy lifting, I'll give them that, but operating heavy equiptment, working a lathe, c'mon that is easy money. EASY MONEY!!!! |
