It's refreshing to know that there are women like JenTay who are actually willing to learn and actually get dirty with car repairs. I admire her for that.
However, when a male-dominated forum like this gets a new member like her (who can talk car mechanics, single, blond, attractive, speaks german), it's not surprising that it caught the attention of most.
The flirting was fun for a little while but then it got old.
I propose we move on. Let's welcome her without the suggestive talk (flirting) and accept her as a person who, like all of us, wants the pride of doing a car repair job well without taking it to a dealer. As for JenTay, if you read this, I'm sure you had your fun. Thanks for the thrill but further pictures are not necessary.
Thanks for listening.

Didn't read the "Jentay" thread? But a little side note. As the president and co-founder (volunteer/non-profit org) of the states largest tactical shooting club (Front Range IDPA), over the years we've had various women join to hone their self defense skills (saw an exponential increase in single women, gay/lesbian -GLBT-, and previously anti-gun mothers starting after Sept 11, 2001!) and it is the funniest thing to see some of these really cute ladies just beat the snot out of some Sheriff Deputy or some USMC MP.
My Gfriend regularly outshoots most of these "tough guy" types (using a 10mm Norma Mag in a Comdr. length 1911!) and if their ego is just too big for mortals, they usually don't come back (and that's fine with us anyway). Some walk away humbled and decide to practice and get better.
I guess the jist is, I've found that given the confidence and encouragement, women can do anything men can do and with the absence of testoterone and inflated egos, they usually do it BETTER than most men!
....Now if I could just get her to work on the cars for me, I could do the cooking and cleaning..., hey..., wait, I AM doing the cooking and cleaning, AND the cars, AND the reloading, AND......, hey....., this is BS!
