Are you good with cars?

AbbeyRhode · F
Better than that! 😄
I actually used to do some stuff myself. Growing up with two brothers and my Dad fixing cars, I learned. I could do a tune-up, change wires, filters, fuses, plugs, gap plugs, etc. I miss cars being simpler. I'm lucky I know where to add the oil now.

@AbbeyRhode I'm Impressed! So good for you!!! 🛠️😊
AbbeyRhode · F
@Oster1 Thank you. I think every woman should learn the basics, even if she never opens the hood herself. A lot of unscrupulous mechanics still assume women know nothing about cars, and try to cheat them.
@Northerner Oh, the plugs still need to be gapped. There are no condensers and points to install and set, though.
Mooed78 · F
This is me😂😂😂.. I put the oil in the windscreen cleaning part before. I wrecked the car.. true story 😂

it's like the lady that went into fill up her car. it was almost empty and she filled it up to the top. Then went to pay and the cashier said that will be $150 . The lady said you are joking!!! when I bought the car they told me it was only a litre.🤣🤣
I've actually known people like that.🤦‍♂️
Once had a woman in her 30's ask, "You have to change the oil?!"😵 She suffered from an extreme case of pretty privilege.😆

Nah, not really. I'm not sure even how to open the bonet yet on my new car. Booo, minus 10 hot-points, Matt85.

I think... What's that ladies name? CloudAngel something like that, she is good with cars.

My sister once filled her engine up with water. She was on the phone with my dad and after a few minutes he asked why it was taking her so long to add water.

A guy I worked with years ago filled the radiator on an old forklift with gas and then came and got me because it wouldn't start. I asked "Did you check the gas?" He removes the radiator cap and tells me it's full. The gas cap was behind a door on the side of the engine compartment and the radiator cap was visible so that must be where the gas goes. Another time either him or his buddy filled it up with diesel, at least they got it in the right hole. I never figured out why there was even a can of diesel in the warehouse.

I had a female friend ask me what kind of oil I used because she needed some oil. A few hours later, she called saying her car wouldn't start. She filled up the engine with oil, gallons of it. It was an old Pontiac Catalina convertible, she filled it with oil until she could see oil at the oil cap. I drained the excess and showed her how to check it on the dipstick.

calicuz · 51-55, M
@MarineBob

Probably!!! 🤣
iamelijah · 26-30, M
Are all woman not good with cars? I checked the comments almost majority woman doing weird things to their car and wrecked it.
I know someone.
Plus, I'm asking for a friend.👀
Graylight · 51-55, F
@iamelijah Please, to all the feminists...close your ears for this one...

I honestly believe on some level that the male of the species are simply born "knowing" some stuff. They look at engines and go, "I thought so." I look at engines and think, "That's the whole engine, right?" Women, imho, are also blessed with wisdom most men will never get. But yeah, I'm at the point in my life where I just call the man or handy lesbian in my life.
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
Well when the check engine light comes on I get out and check and its always still there...so you could say I am good with cars🙄
calicuz · 51-55, M
@LilPrincess

You're such a girl. 🤣😉
LilPrincess · 41-45, F
@calicuz I really am😂.

I brought my car to the mechanic a few months ago and he asked when I last had my tires rotated. I said "'Oh they were rotating all the way here"

He lost it and just busted out laughing.
Cigarguy101 · 41-45, M
I can do simple things
Breaks
Oil
Turn ups
Tires stuff like that
calicuz · 51-55, M
@Cigarguy101

Same. I don't do oil changes anymore. If I lay on the ground I'm afraid at my age, I won't get up. 🤣
Graylight · 51-55, F
Of course. I do exactly as pictured above at regular intervals.

Purchased a new vehicle a few years ago after driving a 2001. They opened the hood and I gasped, "Is that what engines look like now?"

On some things, I'm pure girl. 😐

@Graylight

Are you kidding, they make them almost impossible to work on these days and then want to charge you over a hundred an hour to work on them. 🙄
Jeephikelove · 46-50, F
Ya, not bad
I don't get it. Female mechanics are more common than you know. 🤣
@calicuz Are you sure? I saw my mechanic doing that. 🤣
calicuz · 51-55, M
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays

you need a new mechanic my friend. 🤣
@calicuz That's what [i][b][c=002673][u]she[/u][/c][/b][/i] said!
chrisCA · M
I know my way around them, but modern cars are not something to be tinkered with.
Graylight · 51-55, F
@chrisCA I think that's the best rule yet. I used to be able to replace a headlight, do the fluids, check the belts, etc. Now I can't even find that stuff.
SoLeRiMix · 31-35, M
I am not quite good with cars but I am not this bad either. I know where to pour engine oil and coolant. 😁
Don't even have a license. So, no.
calicuz · 51-55, M
@FrogManSometimesLooksBothWays

You take the bus everywhere?
@calicuz Subway. DC has terrific public transportation. Plus I live within walking distance to downtown DC. Plus, the subway has several lines out to Maryland and Virginia.
