The automotive industry can be a judgemental place.
If you are a man you are expected to know about cars.
If you ask a simple question you can feel like a fool.
How do you know what you need to know?
Who can you ask for simple advice without any judgement?

Women in the world of cars seem to come in just a few flavours.


The bikini clad car wash grid girl models.
The pretty in pink cartoon characters and fluffy stuffed toys girls.
The girls who are just as good as men and dress like men and race against the boys.
The niche girls who don the attire of rockabilly or pinups.

Who are the role models for women who want
to be fully self expressed as individuals?
Who do mature feminine, educated, professional, independent
women look to for stylish advice?

As a driver who gets behind the wheel every day I don't want to know how to rebuild an engine. 
I don't want to learn how to apply extreme modifications to my car. 
I don't see the need to learn the finer points of test driving a million dollar car I will probably never see in the flesh.
I don't want to race cars. 
I don't want to do burnouts. 
I don't aspire to own a Lamborghini.
