I get it every time. “I wish my GF/wife/SO was like you!” No. You don’t. I am a car chick, and you don’t want to be attached to a car chick. You want to run. Far, far away. And I am going to tell you why it sucks to be married to me.

Full Story...

I'll need a different mailing address!

shut up and build

We long for the good old days when Uncle Sam lived within his income and without most of ours.

And I for one, can admit that, no, I can't fold a map, and if she should know more than I, then I will simply ply her with questions until she tells me to shut the **** up and let her work on her car or tells me "fine! I'll do it!"

Good article, even though I don't totally agree with it all.

The mk4 forum ultimate chillers club...for people who chill mad hard

Haters - ever you ever read this lady's posts about her Bunny and her chemical tribology, you'll know you're not dealing with some idiot

1988 Cabby - ABA block, rebuilt counterflow head, TT 268 cam, Mk2 dual outlet manifold, TT dual downpipe, TT high flow cat, TT 2.0" aluminized exhaust

If she was like you... I would run and hide!!!!

Wow. Lighten up, eh? This article was written totally tongue-in-cheek.

If you'd read any of Kathy's many posts in these forums, you'd know how silly (and downright mean) your comments sound.

I really don't mean to come down on you too hard, but I think your comments are pretty over the line.

WERD!

What the write said in the article made her sound not only like a car chic, but someone I DEFINITELY could NOT date. I wanna date/marry a girl that has atleast SOME interest in cars. I hate it when ladies call me crazy b/c I spend most of my time and money on it.

Well maybe on the second floor it reads different than it does down here Luka.

Number eleven would read " I have a really severe case of p*nis envy, and if you're dumb enough to get involved with me I'll do everything I possibly can to draw attention to myself and make you feel like less of a man".

LOL exactly!

reading that message, made me laugh and mad at the same time. The arrogance about herself being good with cars and knowing how to drive fast on twisties and stuff. i seriously don't know this girl, but just this weekend i had a 3 day clinic (promotional event) with a F1 pro-driver and he was the humblest man i've seen. never made any arrogant statements nor superiority complex.

yes, keep up the attitude. no man's going to marry you.

Switch roles for a sec. If the guy had these qualities (constantly reminding people that he knows more about cars than others, showing up the spouse all the time, going on "car dates" with members of the opposite sex ALOT, etc..), that guy is a straight up D|CK.

Therefore, you're not only a woman who happens to know about cars, but you possess qualities that make you the female equivalent of a D|CK (insert appropriate noun here). All car chicks are not like you, face it.

And to that guy who said something like "keep up the attitude, no one is going to marry you", he's right. You're the equivalent of a guy who's head is bigger than the rest of his body, and no one would marry you.

Heh, point taken

Still, I do think those of you who are offended and think the author too arrogant are missing the humor of the article. Seems to me she's simply having a little fun with certain streotypes and trying to poke fun at those guys who still adhere to them.

Oops, looks like it's working

but to me relationships have never been about who's better at what.. they are about how you can each help one another through the rough times of your collective lives...

i don't know katherine so this is by no means a personal attack. Because it seems from what other readers are saying evidently this is just her type of humor, but sadly i do know girls (and guys of course) that ARE just as arrogant as she came off in the article. there is nothing wrong with a strong/confident woman. i date one now and i love her to death. but, when confidence turns to arrogance... you are asking for it.

don't come crying to me when your husband/boyfriend or even wife/girlfriend drops you like a bad habbit because they find someone that respects them more than you do. Reserve your dissagreements on real problems... not because someone can't fold a map correctly.

I think it's cool that those who saw the sarcasm got it. Role reversal is a tough topic. It's idealistic to think that a relationship or marriage will be equal in everything, and those of us who have been at the game for a long time know that it's not the end of the world if one partner is better at some things and the other partner better at other things. Someone should be good at cars, and both partners should be able to laugh about it, even if it means poking fun at the "good at cars" person.

She is like the Alanis Morissette of car chicks Great article though!

you aint kiddin .. i could date a chick that is " into cars" but not one that has a mans mentality . which it seems the chick that wrote this does . i think its safe to say there are many different levels of car chicks . like there are many different levels of "car guys . you have the car guys that fab everything up for themselves ... build their own motors.. do their own paint work . then you have the guys that take their car to a professional detailer ... pay to have their turbo kit on and pay to have their body kid put on .
