Trying to explain to my GF what A GEARHEAD IS... 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
IT'S more than just knowing cars, or how to drove a stick. She's getting her license for MC and I'm trying tp express the Passion, its more than just liking cars and motorcycles.

When you can tear down an auto trans in the house and she doesn't say anything about it smelling like a shop your job will be done, and you will forever be happy

Re:Trying to explain to my GF what A GEARHEAD IS... 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
Yr's ago I knew a couple that both worked for Ford Motor Co. but on opposite shifts. They also had a transmissions service for a side job. (drive on ramp in the backyard) He would remove them from the vehicle in the daytime and when she was at work. When she got home got home from work in the afternoon she would rebuild them. The next morning he would put it back into the car and pull the next one out of another car. She was one of the best trans tech I ever met. Now they were gearheads.

Re:Trying to explain to my GF what A GEARHEAD IS... 9 Months, 2 Weeks ago  
My sister is a Diesel Mechanic. She took over when her husbands arthritis got so bad he couldn't. At first he would show her what to do, now she's even better than he was, so she says...

I also had a friend in the Navy, she was a Ground support Mech, but she was VERY good at what she did. Once during a long lunch she drover her ford PU (standard tranny) hnome for lunch, pulled it, and put it back in.... during lunch!

Now THAT"S IMPRESSIVE! My wife ( I love her, but) won't even back up in a conversation! She feels it is stupid that they still make manual transmissions. She grew up with a dirt track racing family, so she knows what a gearhead is, but does not mean she "gets it"

Once she found out it wasn't a toy, she probably didn't want to know any more. Now she's just pretending not to understand.


Hey! that other guy had crickets in his rear, I can go here.
