Nice Christmas Ornaments !!!
I recieved this pic quite a few years back titled "why women don't work on cars" and had forgotten about it. Thanks for the reminder. While I was working at a dealership in Texas, it would get assigned a trainee/aprentice that was attending or had graduated the technical school. Many of these had a ton of technical knowledge but the ability to transfer that through their hands and into practical use just wasn't there. The best trainee I had during all this was a little gal that grew up working with and on daddys race cars. She was the total package, with exception to her petite size that would hamper her performance on the line. I trained her for 6 months and advised her to specialize in her strong suits, electrical diagnoisis and repair, tuneing/performance related work in which she shined. I got a Christmas card from her about a year after that where she was touring on daddys race circuit and requesting a reference she could send with an application to a crew chief for a NASCAR team. Don't know if she made it work for her as I never heard from her again but she was ambitious and driven to succeed.
....I remember this picture, Motor...you forwarded it to me in an email. Looks like it's been in circulation awhile. yeah, some times we gals have our mechanical challenges, as well as the guys.

yeah varsha you look like you might be just a little challenged too .. but i always thought it was in a good way .. i wish there were a lot more women that were challenged like you
Maybe the real crux of the question should be whether you're naturally challenged as opposed to artificially enhanced challenged. Besides, her toolbox appears better suited for other challenges she might encounter while on her back, less the gravel roadside and low bumper.
I thought that is Varsha.
nahh that ain't varsha .. ain't nothin artificial about varsha .. varsha is butter she ain't margerine ..
Are you trying to butter me up, Frenchie?
