I was riding shotgun with my wife-to-be when her pickup truck ran out of gas. This happened about 50 feet in front of a gas station so we coasted right in. While I was filling it up I asked her how long it had been since she filled it up last. She said right before she picked me up. Sigh... This had been going on for some time and she thought her gas mileage was starting to get really bad. Heh, I bet....

Her fuel pump was hanging off the engine block by a few threads of one bolt. 95% of the gas was being pumped to the pavement. After fixing the problem the fuel economy improved dramatically over the .05 mpg she was getting.

She's sharp as a tack about pretty much everything else. Cars? Not so much.

What kind of woman writes about how stupid she is?

Now I know I should learn how to change a flat and check my air tire pressure, but where's my incentive?

my brother refused to let me learn to drive until I could change a tire, check the oil, and add water to the radiator....

wait till you get a flat in the middle of nowhere...and no man in sight...(although I must say, even in the middle of nowhere or in the "dangerous" neighborhoods of the inner cities-- I have found gentlemen to change my tire when they saw me with a flat....)

Things I don't need to know about cars: Does it have a hemi?

"He was driving his "super reliable" car into which he pours nothing less than premium gas"

There's your first sign right there. High-octane really doesn't do any better in most cases than normal gasoline.

goodness, I was reading what promised to be an interesting article when it just sort of died.

I drive what is the equivilant to a hairdryer.

But if this broad wrecked my clutch by starting it in second gear all the time, I'd choke her for being so monumentally stupid.

Is this what passes for professional writing these day?

Besides, not knowing anything about cars means I generally listen to my mechanic when he says something needs to be fixed.

,,, on that very line an industry was built.

Tre story, lady goes into a parts place to buy a new 710 cap. Confused looks, more questions, finally, she takes the parts guy out to her car to show him. 710 is oil upside down.

This author should whine about it to Car Talk, or just shut up, or both. It's all the same.

Besides, not knowing anything about cars means I generally listen to my mechanic when he says something needs to be fixed.

Then I'd suggest you ask him to buy you some coffee, or even a coffee plantation with all the money he's making off your ignorance.
