To be fair the generalization that women know nothing about cars isn't entirely unfounded (Sorry girls, you can lynch me later) My husband is a ford Specialist and the amount of women that come to his work because "their car is making a funny noise in the engine somewhere" because they have run it without oil or water (or both!!) He's seen it all, and the ones that come "because it doesn't feel right" that'll be your flat tyre then love, its a bit mind boggling really so I can see where it comes from, I think basic maintenance should be a compulsory course, fair play to us that know a bit but to be frank there are more that know nothing at all, I once saw a woman who had to ask someone to put petrol in her car as she didn't know how to do it!! Its unfortunate but lots and lots of women are a bit clueless when it comes to anything with an engine.
