Subject:      Female in a man's world
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hello Everyone-
Let me first state the obvious, yes I am a female.  Now, with that being
said I would like to touch on the issue of "what if she were a guy".  I have
purchased a quite of few vehicles in my short life(27 years) and let me
share with some of you that have not been blessed with similiar experiences.
Many mechanics don't think I, being a female would know how to even drive a
stick.  Maybe they figure if you weren't born with "a stick", you could
never learn how to operate one.

Others have ONLY  spoken to my male counterpart when talking about the
vehicle, even when knowing I would be the one purchasing it.

Keeping this in mind, I appreciate it when some other mechanics/people take
the time to look out for me because "I AM FEMALE".  In the end, I think it
evens out the balance in this male dominated vehicle world.
Just my $0.02
