Hey guys....I just figured I would write to let you know, that I called the local Tech school, and was told that I will most likely be accepted into there automotive department. When I called a woman had answered the phone and asked if I would be interested in "dental" for some odd reason... I replied witha stern NO!!!! and she had asked what it was exactly I'd like to do. So I told her proudly AUTOMOTIVE! and she laughed at me, but she seemed to back me up for having so much guts (consindering the fact that there are not too many girls who find as much joy in cars as I do, and I will probally get a hard time in a class full of boys.) So the the lady, Jill, asked the director if this would be ok, and he said yes. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I can't wait for school to start!! Hopefully daddy will be very supportive of me too... hey at least he wont have to pay for installation fees, just shopping sprees. :-D :-D

Hi! I think it's awesome that you're going into automotive. I honestly think that there's nothing hotter than a girl workin' on cars and gettin' dirty. If anyone there makes fun of you they're just intimidated. Automotive guys are really nice for the most part, but sometimes you gt the guys who are cocky and think that they know more than you.... everyone goes through that. You'll be getting more support than trouble, trust me. I'm in automotive too. You'll have a great time. Keep us updated! -Mike :-D :-D :-D [addsig]

Thats great. I went to a tech school and the first 2 years I was in painting and decorating/ carpentry, Which is all boys, I had to attend classes for being one of the first girls in the now co-ed shop. I loved it and they guys treated me as one of there own untill desided I wanted to be a hairdresser and joined the cosometology shop. I now work in a salon, but I love my Jeep and I dont mind getting dirty. So I guess there is still some tomboy left in me. You Go Girl!!!![addsig]

Chip off the ol block! Now Dad will really have a kick butt jeep. Good choice and I don't think to many guys are going to pick on you from what all I have been told. Afton seem to know her own mind and takes crap from no one. Good Luck tug[addsig]

I'm happy to annouce that I did talk to the big kahunna last night.... and he said that he was proud of me, and I'm pretty sure that he support me 110% :lol:
Thanks for the support from all. I'm not that scared of the gender thing, I'm a pretty tough cookie, and I think that tug got it all right... when he said that I don't take crap from ANYONE. A true city girl in the burbs, I can't wait to see what this one's going to be like. As for purpley.... thanx, but the only make-up and hair I'll ever do is my own, that takes enough effort out of me in the morning .
Jeeper89....I think that if I get a hard time, which I won't, but if I do I'm sure I could manage to kick A myself thanx. [addsig]
