I may need therapy...

I took my Silverado in for an oil change and tire rotation. A bit later the service advisor approaches me and says the oil pan is starting to seep for some reason and they want to replace it. It's, for some reason, an overnight job so I need to get my house keys outta the truck.

So, I go into the shop, get to my truck...and there's a chick mechanic working on it. WTF??? There weren't any babysitting jobs available?

I'm not sure I can deal with a chick working on my truck.

Then they wanted to give me an HHR as a loaner. Sorry...but I can't handle having a chick work on my truck and driving an HHR in the same day. Nuh-uh.

After a lot of bitching and repeatedly getting turned down on a Corvette loaner I settled for an Impala.

I need a drink.

Haha, when I was a tech we had a chick in our dealership. She was always out to prove something, not that I cared. She ended up doing a valvetrain job on a B6 Audi S4 and when she went to start it up...bent all 40 valves, last day on the job.

I'd be more worried that its a dealer mechanic than its a chick.

So I should be really worried that it's a dealer's chick mechanic?

I don't mean to be the asshole here (or am I?) but what's wrong with a woman mechanic? The auto shop I go to is owned by a woman, and she's a whiz on the wrench! I know lots of gals that are more mechanically attuned than I am (which isn't saying a whole lot)... so I really don't understand your "old school" sexism, and really think a chill pill should be dropped into your afternoon drink. But I agree, the HHR is a crap bucket.

[Zundfolge]

I'm not going to say anything about the HHR as my daily driver is a PT Cruiser
(ya know, if they made the PT and HHR with optional AWD they'd be super awesome ... because converting them to V8 RWD would be cake)

Jesus Christ...has EVERYONE lost their sense of humor?

I have no beef with women working on cars. The only thing that made me shake my head was they would always act like the one girl that wanted to play football in HS, just on an estrogen mission.

Sorry, my sarcasm detector is broken

And Jeeez Zund, I would have thought you'd have a bit more respect for yourself! If you mixed the HHR and the PT Cruiser you'd have... a massive pile of crap! Also, I would reccomend getting rid of the PT, it's the most unsafe vehicle on the road. If a 1990's Volvo is considered the safest car (next to that H1 Hummer) then the opposite end of the spectrum is the PT... it's fact, not my opinion, if you want my opinion on the car, well I think they're ugly and sucktastic! But as long as no one here is driving a miata, I think our masculinity is intact!

Replace the oil pan? I'd say 99.999% it would be just the gasket???
