You guys must know some very attentive women.

Most see the dash like this:

Ok, but seriously...

Moved my girl's truck today from one parking spot to another -

CEL, E-brake & ( ! ) light all on at the same time, and she never said a word to me

I'm gonna quiz her on the instrument cluster when she gets home from work, because there is no way she's driving any of my cars again until she understands the seriousness of the warning signs.

My wife will call/tell me about any light that goes on in her car or message that appears on the information display. She's actually really good about being attentive to them even if she doesn't know what they all mean.

Gives me that "I'm a man" feeling when she relies on me for automotive stuff.

[WakusPakus]

my gf isn't too bad at it - knows her traction control light and a few other warning lights


but...she did tell me her ABS controller is her alternator. love that woman.

[GliGirlDriver]

so they all must be really bad at pictionary then too..

Luckily, I know my stuff and how to fix it..but years ago when i didnt, I definitely had that "I feel stupid" moment and literally read my car manual to my golf front to back..I don't even keep one in my gti I have now

The pictures above did make me laugh though

Feminist much?

[Tokyosmash]

Not all women are goons, my gf is more than a little bit attentive, does her own work, keeps her **** clean etc

[McBanagon]

To be fair the check engine and battery light is funny because true.

If my wife's check engine or charging light comes on, I would really prefer it if she called me.

[Cousin Eddie]

If my wife's check engine or charging light comes on, I would really prefer it if she called me.

Yup.

[thisisdog]

The ????? next to the RPM gauge really got me

[S0RRY]

Feminist much?

Note I didn't comment on the actual subject matter, just the people in the thread. To be honest though, the kitchen jokes are tired and were only semi-funny to begin with.

Not at all a feminist or bleeding heart, people that know me would laugh at that accusation

I am glad you saw what this thread was, and realized you needed to post your attendance.

On a serious note- I have known a few (straight) men that were clueless when it came to cars and anything other than basic driving.
So this is obviously not purely a gender thing, but the statistics do show a trend.

And it may be just a reflection of society.
Most young women are not taught hands on mechanical things, while most young men are.
As they age, men tend to use their knowledge of mechanical things to try and help/impress women.
And this cycle feeds on itself.

I think with my penis.
What is your point?
