lol....one of my good friends has no idea how to change oil in his ford f150. Shit you don't even need to jack it up to change the oil.
There are a few you should really need to know if you drive a car, and changing/having oil in your vehicle is the most important.
none of those are real problems they are all things you can live with except oil and wipers but does she not have rainx
what i dont understand is those people who need everything little thing wrong with the car fixed
and i personally dont think just women are like that hell i think guys are worse

I used to work with a guy that couldn't change a tire and didn't know how to change the oil on his truck. The same guys girlfriend had a CEL on her car so they took it to the shop and paid $60 to have it read because they knew nothing about Auto stores doing it for free to find out it was just a loose gas cap. LOL
i've never changed oil lol. i've done other things like exhaust, suspension, and drivetrain tho.
my wife is no better, she leaves tupperware with old tuna in her car for weeks on end, eats sunflower seeds and spits them in the middle console in a cup. It took her a week to clutter it up after we had it professionally detailed. Her car has more door dings than ive ever had on all my cars. She also gets more flats than ive ever had( she hits curbs) We bought her this car with barely 9000 miles on it. Its a chevy cobalt so its worthless even in immaculate condition, but with how she takes care of it its a total pile now. She wants an infiniti ex35 next. HA! I told her keep this one clean for the next year and she could.............so far it looks like she wont be getting anything worth a damn, maybe a hyundai sonata or something shitty that i wont give a fuck about. Women suck at taking care of vehicles
back in a nissan bitches...........
nissan hardbody daily and now still looking for a clean 240sx/240z chassis for my turbo build

My girlfreind is actually really good about taking care of her cars. Sometimes she's like "OMG IT'S MAKING THIS NOISE IT'S BROKEN FIX IT!!!" and I'm like "it's a 20 year old economy car, that plastic and stuff inside is gonna rattle and make all kinds of squeeks". But really she never goes past 3k on oil changes, bought brand new tires, knows to pull over right away if it drives funny or starts to even get a tiny bit warm.

Some people just arent into cars, my gf knows when her car needs an oil change but its not as high on her priority list as it should so she waits almost until it needs to be changed the next time before she goes and gets it done. My brothers the same way, he has a 4 dr ex and it runs like shit because he doesnt take care of it. Its a shame, but atleast its a car thats relatively cheap and easy to fix.

Yea my girlfriend is getting good with her car too. Well she had corrosion build up on the battery terminal that killed her car so she cleaned that. 3 weeks ago she had 2 tires blow out.....bad blow outs too and after getting some tires she took care of that. I usually test her on parts that are laying around so she has a general idea of what the parts are and how an engine works.
She also had a brake line blow out last fall and she managed to get it home with no brakes! She didn't have to go too far but still thats impressive. She got into an argument with her retarded friend about brake fluid. Her friend was trying to tell my GF that cars don't need brake fluid. My gf told her that she was dumb. lol Its the blinker that doesn't take fluid.
