OK check it I'm a white male and i happen to believe that if a girl can handle a car as big as caprice than she can handle a big dump truck or any car. i dont think women are bad drivers, i think they their bad name from those women who drive while doing something other than driving and paying attention to the road and their surroundings. by the way don't worry about what other guys say about your car if it can get you to point a to b then its an OK car and if you enjoy driving it then that's all that matters. I'm sorry you had to endure all of our (mens) hatefull ways towards women driving big cars.

Having driven everything from a Ford LTD wagon and Dodge Ram pickup to a MINI Cooper and Toyota Tercel, all I can say is that size doesn't matter too much -- people are going to comment on your car no matter what you do. Drive whatever you want to drive (and can afford) and be proud about it. I've climbed down from the cab of a jacked up Ford F150 pickup toting the lace-fringed pillow I needed behind me to reach the pedals, in front of a pack of he-man men ... their jeers about the pillow were nothing. One asked, flirtatiously, where I was going and I said ever so sweetly, "Gonna go buy a compound mitre saw at Home Depot so I can finish my woodwork." Their faces crumpled when they realized I may carry a lace-fringed pillow, but I know and can use a power tool when needed.

What makes you think it has anything to do with gender? That's a big old barge for anyone to drive, I drove one for 5,000 miles and fuel and parking were an issue (I have an extended cab long bed F250 outside). My friends and co-workers give men who drive big old cars and SUVs at least as much grief as you are getting. In my experience we don't say anything about it to the women. Where I work, more men drive compact sedans and more women drive big SUVs. The two Suburbans and the lifted F350 4x4 with 33" tires are all driven by small women.

Ha ha! I drive a VW Beetle, you should hear the comments I get. "What a girly car", etc. I think you'll get a new found respect from those guys, secretly I think they're impressed. What do I get? No respect what so ever, but it's my sence of humour so I'm cool with that, and my friends appreciate that!

ignore them, some of the best off road truck drivers ( 170 ton coal trucks) are women, you've seen these things, you need a ladder to get in the cab. also on the prairies during harvest lots of women drive combines , the pickup table is the size of a one way street on those things, also there are lots of 1/4 mile racers that are female, be yourself , those dorks are just jealous.

I am wondering why you care what they are thinking, unless he is really hot, then you can play it however you want. Guys make comments about EVERYTHING, best to take none of it serious, again, unless he is hot . . . then pay a little bit of attention.

so you claim you've been driving it for years-but it seems to bother you-get rid of it and stop bitching about trivial things
