This is very true. I had an amazing time with a girl in high school who was
interested with what was under the hood. "what's the plastic thing with the
yellow and black wire coming out." ... "that's the distributor"... "what
does it do?" etc... She was just starting to understand the basics... then
we graduated and she went off to college on the east coast :(. Had to start
all over with current girl friend. She is starting to get the concept of cam
shafts. But no amount of explaining will compare with actually getting
greasy, that's how I learned.

I have had several girlfriends say they wish they had a guy to teach them
about cars. There's a lot more of us out there with an interest than you
probably think. (And sorry fellas those particular girls are either spoken
for right now, or people I've lost touch with) But the point is, if you're
willing to wait for that kind of girl don't blow her off when she shows an
interest (it's a hard think for us to go out and learn on our own), but then
again don't talk her ear off, or watch Speedvision 24hrs a day ;) We are
out there! And we like our hair, but we look cute in baseball caps too!
