Not me; I want it all. My bag is a super feminine, elegant girly girl who will also gladly turn a wrench and talk like a sailor when appropriate.
Ya right...good luck finding that one.
i do like a chick who can _play_ hippie once every so often. i just dont want to deal with that day to day.
I mean she is right about everything except the car. its to your advantage that she doesnt understand it. that way when you tell her about a noise you end up with a snorcle

See, I think it'd be great if she was forward-thinking enough to be wanting the snorkel for you before you even brought it up.....
she should be worried if her new outfit makes her look fat, not interested in the vehicle damn it!!
See, I've come to the conclusion that, the more girly they are, ie, worrying about outfits and curtains, etc., that they are FAR more likely to be one of the ones that, after being married for a couple of years, will start that "not tonight honey, I've got a headache..."....
A woman that can handle hangin' w/ the guys in the garage, are more likely to think like a guy and keep wantin' it.....
That's what I learned.... just wish I knew that back when!

Jack, I had a good friend in college (who is now a veterinarian and lives in Oregon or Washington) who had a red VW bus that she had completely restored and kept running....she was adorable (read: cute) and very smart and definitely knew her way around an engine too. She wasn't quite as hippie as this chic, but she always kept tools and supplies in her bus and was prepared. Just the kind of smart, resourceful women that you meet at an all-female college. We all learned a lot from each other...especially when I still had my old Mercedes Diesel!

So I think she hittable and this reminds me of a story ...
92 I was in college and into climbing in a big way. I was spending the weekend in the Gunks (Shawgunks NY) http://www.gunks.com climbing. I had just made the switch from air cooled vdubs to water cooled vw's. The gunks had a car camping area that climbers would use. This area was like a hippy and climbers hotel. Lots of cheap booze and hemp products Anyway after a long day of climbing I meet my dream girl. She was under her vw bus camper, 70's era, messing with it. Being a nice guy with aircooled experience I went and offered to help. Well turns out she is a hippy chik climber vw loving tat sporting goddess temptress. I fell for her in a big way. Being a big dork I was a deer in headlights. Well her vans clutch cable had broke and we tried to fix it. We had no way to fix it that night(friday), so I offered to drive her to town the next day to get parts and we could put it back together the next day. So we drank cheap beer and had other products .... good night, I fell even harder for her. So we get tired, at that time I had not set my tent yet, she offers for me sleep with her in the van ... ahh okay! Well being a dork like I am I didn't hit it friday night :banghead: but we slept together and I was in heaven. Next morning, she and I go climb after she makes me breakfast. The gunks is full of all natural pro multipitch leads. We do a shorter climb and run to town for the part. We then go do a second climb in the afternoon. We replace the clutch cable and get drunk and high and she makes me dinner. At this point I am jello to her ways, if she asked me to drop out of college and become a hippy climbing bum driving through the US eating cat food for dinner and cutting lawns to buy climbing gear.... I would have said yes. So that night I sleep with her again .... again I don't hit it:banghead: Next day we spend all day climbing together and part ways. We exchanged numbers and addresses, I drove home a love sick puppy. I never heard from her again, later that week I realized she wanted me to make the first move had I done so I would have been in.... damn it!:banghead: I try to get a hold of her, she sents me a couple of letters, but I had f'ed up not making the move and got put into friend classification and was hosed.
I don't know if it would have worked, but now I have a girly girl that likes to get dirty, but no interest in wrenching. However she is a better offroad driver than I am .. which is hot

x2! I'd go wheeling in a ball gown if necessary! Hell, even Cinderella had to deal with a broken wagon wheel on the way to the ball!

Story of my life dude I know how you feel. :banghead: You have to cease the moment or it's gone forever.
I had a '64 VW Bus which I lived in for a year in Santa Cruz. I was always under that thing, working on it. No one ever hit on me.
Oh, wait, that's because I'm a dude. Crap.

yes. Be happy you didn't settle with that hippy, Andy. Consider how readily she invited you into her.. bus... and ask whether that's the sort of woman you'd want to put up with for forty or sixty years
