Default Women Drivers

This doesn't surprise me, considering some of the women I know... (smccoy, huskergirl, etc.)

A recent nation-wide survey by Jiffy Lube casts strong doubt upon the age-old image that men know more about cars than women. When asked, for example, where to find a tire's air-pressure, two-thirds of the men answered incorrectly as opposed to 45-percent of women. The percentages were the same when men and women were asked if synthetic oils increased mileage between oil changes.

Men fared better in a few questions: 78 percent of men surveyed knew the purpose of antifreeze versus 56 percent of women.

the problem with that poll is that it was conducted by jiffy lube. I don't care how smart you may think you are in other aspects of life, but people who take their cars to jiffy lube for maintenance are retards.

I mean seriously, jiffy lube doing a car knowledge poll is like me trying to determine the smartest kid with down syndrome.

Funny...I saw this ditzy looking blonde (is that an oxymoron?) driving an EVO. What the hell? Odd.

Anyway...I've always known Sheila to know significantly more than Ron.
