Yes. Mostly. I have my wife trained to at least tell me if something seems off. For instance, the other day she told me she thought she was going crazy but it seemed like it took longer for her car to start than usual. Sure enough, the CPS was going bad.

My aunt has had several Porsche turbos and can put a car on the hydraulic lift in their garage. My wife approved the purchase enthusiastically of an Acura TLX A Spec. Most girls dgaf but some are equal in their enthusiasm and knowledge.

Have “your” woman draw a picture of a bicycle. 5 minutes, as detailed as possible. From memory. No prepping, No cheating. Post the pic.

NOT TRUE! Maybe “some” women…..
My papa was a mechanic, I worked in the garage with him, every day. I repaired & maintained my ‘65 VW, our ‘71 Jeep, and most every other vehicle we have owned since.

My wife has owned 7 cars. 5 of them were manuals by choice. The last, pre kids, was a Porsche. She's never so much as curbed a wheel or scraped a front valance. I'll gladly let her drive anything that I own. I do clean and maintain her cars. I'm good with it.

I've had more women compliment my bone stock 2wd SR5 Tundra than my Cobra ever got. I will say, sport bikes CAN be a panty dropper if you can get her to go for a ride, but you better have the personality that lets her know she can trust you. |

My wife can't fix a car, but she knows when something is wrong. Probably mostly my fault as I have never taught her how.
She can identify like every American muscle car in the 60s and 70s though. Certainly better than I can |

Quote HistoryQuoted: i always love it when people think cars are going to get them women they're going to get you a ton of dick, if anything Wrong. Cars are a convenient form of Peacocking. A fun way of showing disposable wealth. You can’t really flash your W2 to some chick on the bus, but a Porsche/BMW/late model brotruck, is somehow more acceptable. If I were single, I’d buy a yellow Porsche.  That said, an 8 year old model in mint condition, will fetch the same results, because females generally don’t know the difference. |

My wife had never owned an automatic her entire life, her prior last new car in 2012 had to be shipped in because there were hardly any manuals made. She just got her first " auto " as it was PDK or nothing. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: It would be pretty weird to walk into your garage and your girl is under her car changing her own oil. I would feel like she is doing something that I as the male in the relationship, am supposed to be doing. It's great if she can do the task, nothing wrong with that at all. It would just be weird standing there watching her do it. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: My wife regularly changes her own oil and filters. I guess you chose poorly OP.

She enjoyed the exercise. I’m sure the neighbors thought I was a real task master. I was OK with that. |

Lol. speak for yourself.
I've had my 50yr old mom and aunt helping me pull motors and replace transmissions. They know how to drop gas tanks and driveshafts and unhook fuel lines. My wife can replace a starter and alternator and the other simpler bolt-on parts on the motor. |

Hey babe, the watering can icon is lighting up on my dashboard. Does that mean I'm out of washer fluid?
Me: Watering can?  Would you show me?Goes around the block, her low oil light is glowing patiently and steadily  Me: How long has it been like that? Her: Oh, not long! Just since my last oil change ... five months ago.  She was a wonderful cook, was always honest, loyal, and a very fulfilling, generous lover. If it wasn't for that there would have been a freaking bounty on her head. And she knew it. |

That's why single women are always broke. They can't maintain their vehicle or fix stuffs around the house. Mechanics, plumbers, and handyman make a killing off single women.

It's more of a they don't want to thing.
My wife has a medical degree and could tell you how almost everything in the human body works so she's capable but I just don't think they care to know how various systems in a vehicle work or how a water heater heats water etc. Lol my wife still thinks turning the heat up on the thermostat in the house makes the air coming out of the vents hotter despite me explaining in 30 seconds how an hvac system works. They just don't care to learn which is fine. She thinks I'm a wizard when I fix the washer or maintain her vehicle. |

The tail says “Here I am, I ain’t skeered-o-sheeeiiiit!” For some reason, that’s an effective mating strategy for all creatures great and small. |
