"Legendary"
Hey Michelle,
I was reading a bunch of threads and came across one of your posts from a while back. I think this is just the best advice you could give a guy about his girl friend. You are my new hero. =]

Well I don't know about the other ladies, but I go to most of the drives, meets, dynos and racing around here.
A word of advice for the guys, if you guys want your gals to become more interested, invite her to come to things, especially things like drives where you can have QT; engage her in conversations about your projects (don't assume we don't want to know); ask her for help; don't bring her to an event/meet for the first time and abondon her, introduce her to folks.
Have her drive your car - fast, go to the track, do a driving school, like the one BSCC offers to novice autocrossers or the BMWCCA, PCA or ALFA skills day. PCA even has a ladies only day (which I'll be attending on the 1st). There are lots of gals who race and race well here in the PNW and we love having new gals involved. Don't be mad when she's faster than you. Also, you may lose some access to your garage.
Get her on the forums so she can read all the drama
Keep in mind that women/girls are generally discouraged from knowing about "car" stuff or getting dirty from a young age as it's not very feminine, and women that do know a lot about them are generally seen by their peers as tomboys at best. Also, that most guys really don't like gals that know more than them or drive faster than them or at least that's the impression we are under.
That's all for now.

Alright relocation going down, from Marysville to Kenmore. Im happy cause its much much much closer and now i not only have my cars but my own place with a 900Sqft shop. . . now all i need is the girl 
Eh! who am i kidding i might as well stick with my automobiles and my shop. Much simpler that way I think.

I'm just stoked that someone finally decided to have some faith in an 18yr ole. I mean 20+ tries and finally one took. The fact it comes with a shop is just over the top. And to think I was about to just settle for a small apartment with one just one parking space.
