My mind has been cluttered with current wants and needs for Moss and Roy, so I suppose I’ll list them here to organize the disarray.

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.
