Most of my car parts were purchased from local and distant NATOR and installed with local or distant NATOR. None of the work on my car, outside of an oil change or two, has been done\u00a0by a car\u00a0dealer of any kind.<\/p>\n

What does being a car girl mean to me?<\/p>\n

It means you’re willing to get your hands dirty, walk away in\u00a0clothes covered in dirt, coolant, and\u00a0maybe even some oil, shed some blood, tear some skin, get gasoline in a few cuts, get frustrated, cuss a bit, and want to give up. It means you’re going to get frustrated, throw a few things, make some stupid mistakes, ask some stupid questions, and you’re going to get laughed at.\u00a0But even\u00a0after all of this,\u00a0at the end of the day, you’re still there trying to help others, trying to learn, and\u00a0not trying to\u00a0please anyone but yourself. You’re not trying\u00a0to get attention from\u00a0everyone or impress everyone,\u00a0but you’re there because you’re working\u00a0towards a goal — whether it\u2019s for speed, the look of your car,\u00a0or just to make some friends that share the same interests. It also means you’re thankful for the help that was given to you\u00a0and willing\u00a0to give the same help in return.<\/p>\n

\"There's<\/a><\/p>\n

Three years ago, I wasn’t the same person I am today and I can thank these\u00a0guys and gals\u00a0I’ve had the pleasure of knowing for over three years for that. They\u2019ve helped show me what it means to be a true car girl and they have accepted and loved me even through my stupid mistakes and questions. Now I have a friend group that is more like a family.<\/p>\n
