Garage
I can honestly say I've probably only met one girl who was really into cars. And by really I mean "into them as much as my male car geek friends". She autocrossed an Evo 8 with her father on the national level, and when she would talk about things like suspension setup and driving line, my jaw would be on the floor. She was very physically attractive and probably had a normal life outside cars, but a passion for them like anyone I'd seen. And ironically, she had a boyfriend who was not into cars at all... that bastard.

Cars aren't for everyone. It may seem even less so for women, but have you ever stopped to think about how many men don't know much about cars, either? I don't think gender has much to do with it...

I'm hoping to turn my g/f into a car person. She drives a manual Impreza and says she would never buy an A/T because they're "lame". She loves my Audi S4 and can't wait for me to get my BRZ! I asked if she'd want to come to an auto-x event and co-drive with me and she was all about it, so I think I might have me a keeper! Whether I can get her to hang out in the garage and turn a wrench remains to be seen, but I think my odds are good

So don't rule out the ladies, gentlemen!
