Ack Attack Post 36: Girls in the Car World

On the forums and at the shows, few females are to be seen unless they are models for the cars themselves. It's tough to be a female interested in cars because it is such a male dominated area. At races or special events most of the girls who go are either stuck going because of their boyfriend or father or go to pickup guys by wearing half of nothing. Very few girls go to the car shows because THEY are interested in cars. The forums will have a couple, but the guys don't value their opinions anyways. There are always a few guys who tend to respect the girls more based on the mere fact that they are trying. Some guys realize that it has to be tough to be a girl in the car world, while others try to keep it more male dominated by putting down the girls and making them look dumb. A lot of the girls on the forums and whatnot are honestly trying to learn and aren't there to talk to the guys with the "hot cars". Honestly, I could care less if you drive a Mercedes or a Suzuki as long as you can answer the questions I ask. It's sad that girls are seen as objects in the car world, just something else to get your picture taken with at the show.
