    so its OK for girls to be "tomboys" and hang out with boys but not the other way around? :rolleyes:

    ^^me & dad :D I knew fractions (sorta) before kindergarten thanks to hanging out with dad in the garage. I was the go-fer and knew what to get out of the tool box for dad so he didn't have to roll back out from under the cars. I also knew how to frame a wall, hang sheetrock, and solder copper pipe before I hit puberty.

    Smart choice, girls should know the basics at least. My brother couldn't even change a tire at 19. :rolleyes: But he knows more about computers then anyone I know so we have a system. I fix his car issues, he fixes my computer issues.
    Sell your boss into slavery. He'll be so busy dealing with that and wont notice you not at work for 2 days.

    See, I think everyone regardless of gender should be even basic handy. It helps remove that "rely on everyone else" need that people have.

    Mistake...got to get her interested BEFORE peer pressure and friends steer her away.

    :laugh: You two sound like my brother and I. Anything computer related and he's right on top of it but he's lucky to pump his own gas :rolleyes: I don't think he's ever done anything to a vehicle before nor would he know how.

    ditto :cool:

    not only is it about not having to wait on someone else to do it for me but I have the option to attempt it myself or get someone else's help. And when it comes to mechanics at least I know when they're trying to BS me and take advantage. I've learned that a little knowledge goes a long ways to getting respect from mechanics.
    I have a few friends who rely on their husbands/boyfriends for EVERYTHING ...even changing lightbulbs :facepalm: I kinda feel sorry for them.

    :smack: shame on you. You should spend your time with your child from day one - not banish your daughter from the garage, but take a son with you.

    My ex just called me from another city yesterday to help her change her signal lightbulb on a '08 Pontiac Grand Prix over the phone.

    Oh, and your headlight fluids out. :cool:

    I'm just glad I found TW... I NEVER would have thought I could so some of the stuff I've done... My dad never worked on his vehicles - he was always working.
