If it makes you feel any better, I think my boyfriend kinda hates my Z.... but that's probably because my LS1 runs on a regular basis while is LT1 is always in the shop, HA! (he's RedLT4Mike on here for those who don't know, we're always lurking)

Getting a girl who is into f-bodies won't necessarily solve the problem... One thing that would help in these kinds of situations is to try and involve her more in the car stuff. When it isn't just YOUR project, and she's helping, it might help her to not be so threatened by your car... And if she doesn't want anything to do with it, dump her.

i always tell he tome come by when im working on the car, and try to get her to come to get togethers with me but she isnt having it. i dont think she feels comfortable because shes the only girl when were cruising, working on our cars, etc.

Not a keeper then for sure. I'm usually the only girl too, but I don't really see what it matters. Is she scared of boy kudies or what???

I'm trying to get my friend to buy another friends WS.6 The thing is cammed, an M6, and has spray, but I know she'd be able to handle it. She already drives her Saturn Coupe like the danm thing is a race car, and she's always told me she loves the T/A's. I've offered to help ehr with any of the general maintenance, and even introduced her to all "The Car Guys" I hang with in hopes of getting her into it. So far so good.

I have a Saturn coupe as a dd, and it is not even in the same world as a cammed f-body... Not trying to discourage, but I've seen a lot of people who thought they had race cars and then actually got some power and didn't know what to do with it or how to handle it. I'd personally suggest starting with a stock one, and adding onto it as she gets used to it. That also gives people more of a chance to learn about the mechanics. I think it's so annoying when people name off 2 pages of mods they have but don't even know how to change their own oil.

she feels out of place cause she doesnt know anything about cars. its not like we talk about cars ALL the time though. i try to include her.
thats a huge jump. i went from a nissan sentra-which i drove like a maniac-to my z28 and spun it out within a week. make sure she understands how powerful these cars are.

I just wish I could find more people to race . The ladies at work don't know a thing about cars and think I'm silly when car parts come in work

Thanks . My boyfriend made it for me but I make sigs as well. We've made a good number of sigs for LS1tech members.

Just because someon can drive like a maniac is a 4cyl econo-box, doesn't necessarily mean they're good drivers

Maybe you oughta let her test drive your ride. If she freaks out then maybe she ought re-think things and/or practice more. Although if there's one of those GM Auto Shows in Motion in your area, it would be a good opportunity for your friend to see first hand how some more powerful vehicles handle. Just some food for thought

i talked to an older broad out in long island for a little while...has a Z28, 408, built A4, etc. etc. etc. yet has never changed her own oil or even a tire in her life. she knew all the parts by heart, but couldnt for the life of her explain what they did. i made a joke about her adding headlight fluid, and her response was "i have halos i dont need that anymore".

im glad i stopped talking to her.

Yep, that's what makes us all look bad. Unfortunately, even most of the girls who say they can work on their cars... can't. I think it is great that some females get their hands dirty and help out with whatever someone else tells them to do, but I would love to see more actually learning, understanding and then building up to do the work by themselves.
