The cliché: Women hate cars.
Well, not really hate cars. There are just some things about cars that women hate.
Let's face it, now that the men-would-always-be-better-than-women era is so over and old-fashioned, women are taking the world by storm. They are starting to buckle up and driving their own lives-or at least their own cars.
But still, we can never forgo with the truth that there are really things that women hate doing, but men prove to be very savvy with. There will always be things that men and women would perceive differently. Take for example cars. Men love everything about cars. It's like the epitome of their true male ego. They are willing to do everything for the sake of keeping themselves and their car happy.
But with women, it's a totally different story. And here's why:
Car shopping is not real shopping
Women can spend hours and hours, even weeks, shopping for clothes, shoes, accessories, you name it. But you won't catch them shopping even just for an hour for a car. They can tell you every detail they look for in a shoe, but when a car dealer starts telling them about the technical details of a car, they start to yawn.
Who cares about those details? As long as the wheels are turning, the car has good visibility and they will look chic and sexy in it, that's all that matters. But of course, safety, maintenance cost, and interior space is important. Just that and a full tank is enough to make women happy.
Could somebody please translate the car manual?
If women are not interested in the technical details when buying a vehicle, what more with its manual. Sure, women love reading romance novels. But anything that has technical in its cover spells boring for them. But give that technical book to a man and that would instantly become his Bible for the rest of his life.
Where's the nearest car wash station?
Women maybe the queen of housekeeping, but when it comes to cleaning and washing cars, they'd rather stick to dishwashing. It's a great fun for women to drive cars, but they would rather have it washed than wash it themselves.
I just got my nails done. I'll just wait for the tow truck to arrive.
Of course, women are caring individuals. In fact, too caring that they are willing to wait for hours for the tow track or the mechanic than have their newly polished nails ruined. If they don't even care reading the car manual, well there's really no need to expect that they would even dare repair their own car.
And the best reason is...
There's always something to complain about. Even the simple task of refueling is something to complain about. Sometimes, even a replacement car mirror need becomes a heated argument with their husband. After all, they're attractive, intelligent career women. Why bother with replacements or refueling? Let the mechanic and the gas boy do these things.
BUT above it all, women do love cars... as long as there's somebody else who will do the repair and maintenance for them.

The advantage of having such for a father are the things she learned on different auto parts like how parts work, like the engine, radiator, AC Condenser, shocks, etc. And how important it is to ensure that all safety contraptions, like the car mirror and the headlight, are in good shape.
