First of all, LMAO at the meatloaf comment Laughing

Still, beats looking like meatloaf after he got fat. I know I'm an ugly bastard, it's just fun to advertise it hehehe

Now, as for something a little more serious.

i have some female friends who if you even mention about cars to they just roll their eyes but they can sit there and have a meaningful conversation about whats in the fashion and how inspirational such and such's new line of clothes and makeup is... i mean... what the fuck??!

Well, it's one thing to have people roll their eyes at a topic of conversation, and another to discourage the activity altogether. I don't know of many guys that discourage other guys' interest in cars, but perhaps there are a few that don't want to rant about cars day and night. I think one problem facing young ppl is that sometimes they can be backed into a corner in terms of what interests they can show, from what I can remember, not fitting in during teenage years can be a real pain in the arse. Even to the point where people change their interests and even part of what could be their identity in order to gain a sense of belonging. The other option is obviously to change who you hang around with Smile

like to them, so what if you are a chick, it doesnt mean you get any lee-ways or treated any different, everyone is the same as each other and if you are male or female is fuck all difference... so that why sometimes its a bit of a rude shock the way you get treated at automotive events and even on cars forums just because you are a chick.

I can't even fathom that one, it does seem pretty odd! I'm not sure how much it'll change with time, it depends on how the general female identity evolves in the future as well as male identity. I honestly can't see them ever merging into one unified 'i am a person' identity - at least not in my life time, although I do strive towards that personally.

But apart from me, and sw4y, and another friend i have who has a GTiR ( altho, i think she has lost intrest in it, but she was into it when she first got it), and another chick racer who drives a rexy, i honestly have to say, they are all the female drivers that i know... or females that have an intrest in cars... i mean i know there must be shitloads more out there... but in 20 years if all i have come across is about 4 or 5... thats pretty sad.

The only chicks I know of that have a genuine interest in cars are on this forum - every gal in my group of friends (ex highschool, uni etc) has no interest in car modifying or racing participation at all. There are of course a few I can think of in motorsport/rallying...but again usually I only pay attention to the good drivers, the only one I've noticed with some good driving style lately is Kira Douglas.
