Meet Moss and Roy

This is my blog and I can bitch if I want to!

Growing up I would have considered myself a tomboy; I have an older brother and I did the things he did – played in the dirt, caught crickets, played video games, etc.  So fast forward to the present and I’m still playing with the boys, just not with crickets.  I barely scratch the surface of the world that car enthusiasts know, but I’m there – on the edge.  Wanting to be in.  I want to be just as good and just as knowledgeable, but I also want this to be my own.

There’s no doubt that the reaction of “omg a girl” is pretty much expected, so I’m not even going to try and make myself fit in.  I’m not going to exclaim from the top of my lungs that I want to do the unexpected, to break the mold of how women and cars aren’t mainstream.  I just don’t care.  What really matters is  I just want to do something that I enjoy.  I enjoy shopping, so I’m a shopaholic.  I enjoy my cars, so now I’m even crazier (ya know, two hobbies is not easy!).  Ahhhh…there’s just so much I want to do with my car just for personal satisfaction.  No other reason.  It’s true that I want to be better, but better than who?

Well, before I answer that – let us look at this gem that I found.

Um. Excuse me? “What is wrong with girls these days?” WOW – please tell me what IS wrong with girls these days because, seriously, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with us.  So just a background, this is found on mocc written by a FEMALE.

What does driving fast on the streets have anything to do with…driving? If you fucking think that driving fast makes you a better driver, a better female, hell even a better man – think again.  I don’t need people like you sharing the road with me.  I apologize for my lack of understanding, but I think you are giving us – ALL DRIVERS – a bad name.  Showing how fast you can go and how you can keep up with some speeding douche on the road, doesn’t make you special or deserving of a gold star to your inflated ego.  It’s true – women will get a spotlight shown on them in this world, but omg who would have thought that to stand out AND blend in is to impress yourself.  You.  I want to be a better driver – I JUST WANT TO! I’m excited for the day that I learn how to heel-toe and shit I’m proud of myself for even knowing how to rev match.  Can you even conceptualize these driving techniques???

So really….who the fuck cares if I’m a girl driving slow? To answer the question asked – who do I want to be better than? – your ignorance.
