How much does the average girl know about cars?

[HarryPotter]

That is so insulting to women.

You're gunna be that guy huh?

I pointed out a very nice e46 m3 to a female friend one time and she said it looked just like any other car. Most people don't know shit about cars, male or female.

my 12y/o daughter says the same thing. She points to most cars that are older then 1975 and thinks they are pretty cool- E30s are meh...... and everything else looks like mom's boring e46.

My little sister is the same. E30s are OK, but isettas, bugs, vw vans, 2002, 1600s are all better.

The last chick I dated was fine with simply knowing how to put gas in her car, and wasn't even sure what model it was.

Erm... Not quite.

I once met a girl that started talking about the cam and cylinder bore specs on the engine she just rebuilt.

You're sadly mistaken:rofl:
My girlfriend is learning quite a bit ;) She actually wants me to teach her which was shocking to me.

I was just thinking this. Poll the average guy on the different fluids you can put in a car, and see how many can even make it to 2, let alone the 7 that are in a stock 325i.

Of course, if it doesn't exist on an e30, I'm generally oblivious to it in the car world. I tell people I'm not a car guy, I'm an old POS BMW guy ;-)

As mentioned, I think the real question should be 'How much does the average r3v'r know about cars?'

[Earendil]

Engine oil, coolant, tranny fluid, diff fluid, windshield washer liquid, brake fluid...freon/whatever ac refrigerant they use now?

Damnit, Freon! I missed one! That makes 8. You missed gasoline ;-)

[Pantless Spency]

You guys missed clutch slave fluid ;)(brake fluid) Im not sure e30s have them but I was recently assisting work on a few older cars with them.

Blood, mucus, urine, fecal matter

Umm tranny fluid, diff fluid...???

[Earendil]

Same fluid and reservoir as the brake fluid, so I'm not counting it as different. We're still at 8 for all those saying we missed stuff.
