    you should be proud of me!

    i did something the other day for the very first time. i changed my oil all by myself. chris had to help with one bolt that was stuck, but that was it! i was so proud of myself. you might think that it's pathetic that i haven't done it before, but at least i finally did it!

    Way to be! mmmmm....what's more sexy than a woman working on a car? Well, maybe a girl working on a car in a bikini maybe.

    Oh my...... I just had a sweet image pop into my head. A bunch of hot chicks working on a car with 10W 30 all over their bodies (not in the hair though, that would just be messy) So if any girls on here want to do that and take pics that would be sweet.

    Thanks a lot

    I know how you feel. Brooke has to ask me to check her antifreeze level. It's like.. jesus christ, just look at the reservior! If the fluid level is between the lines on the side, you're fine

    Well my g/f says she wants to learn to do this stuff. (when it comes time to do it, she is doing something else) But, for some reason I think a lot of women want to have to depend on a guy for something.

    Yeah, I think she's content with me helping her out with her car. It doesn't really bother me either.

    I cant really judge. I am more of the electrical portion of a car. But when I get under the hood of a car, I couldnt tell the battery from the engine. It's great that you can do that. Congratulations. And I agree about the one comment someone said about a girl in a bikini working on a car, that would be hot.

    GOOD JOB!!!

    I wish my girl would take an intrest in cars. She just got a car and dosen't like to do any of the maintenance. "Henry, do you think you can change my oil?, do you think you can add this fluid for me?, I point to where to add it...."you do it for me". I don't usually mind but sometimes it gets to me. One thing she will do is wash my car though!

    Hmmm....girls washing cars....in bikinis.... My ex always calls me to fix her car. It's okay some of the time, but it gets old.

    That's awsome that you're learning to do car stuff yourself!! Alot more than most women can say they've done

    I was suprised.... I just started a new job at a car dealership, and we have a female mechanic. She does mostly A/C work, but a bunch of other stuff too when there's no A/C work. She's making about $90k this year, so she must be doing pretty good! She's been there for 15 years though, hehe.

    Congrats! :super:
