I just love the way you talk...just like female comedian....the type of woman I like...anyways I am glad you know a thing or two but majority of you don't know. For example a lady used her car for 7months without servicing ...when I saw the engine oil ...I pitied that car. All the tyres have all gone and she speed like mad man....
A woman I know continually drove her car even after the break pads are worn out until the car rotors were completely grinded. She kept driving even with the grinding sound and destroyed the rotors. She didn’t even care to understand why the grinding noise in the tire until her husband drove the car one day and discovered the rotors were destroyed already.

Oya what is your thought on this matter.

Now you are invited early for this party on the frontpage. grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

hmmmm, well I wouldn't want to generalize hastily but the ones I have seen don't know Jack about their cars, they are only concerned when it doesn't start.....

a woman was seen in a vehicle with engine oil dripping profusely somewhere on the island, she was stopped and given the shocking news, she said she knows... that she wants to quickly rush home with it that her husband will take it to the mechanic the next day!

have u told ur husband? we asked..
she responded: no, because he hasn't been picking his calls....
SMH, one vulcanizer around helped her source a mechanic that did some patching here and there, topped it with some good old "something max" oil, can't remember the name and madam sped off.... u need to see the speed of this woman.....

(BTW how many women can change the tire of the vehicle they drive? I've actually seen one try to.... she really really tried her best oh.... since that day, no matter what.... she will never drive home alone.... if there is no one to accompany her, she will jejely park the car and use uber! ) topic for another day

Hahahahahaha....when the car starts bringing out black smoke for real That means the top cylinder is gone na shocked cheesy cheesy

Now I see why the op said what he said that ladies are terrible car users cheesy cheesy

On a more serious note, women only know how to open the car door, turn the ignition, shift the gear to drive and throttle the pedal move, voom....if the car dare stop on the road or refuses to start, then guess what she will do next Flips her phone and dial Honey's number to come oh this car refused to start grin grin
No dude, black smoke means car running rich or lean. Blue smoke is what you just explained.

if i have a driver, who was my car used by?
if i let out my ride for uber then i decie to sell it, who was the car used by?
if i own a fleet of trucks, buses, motorcyles - who is the car used by?

Those are all exceptions rather than the rule. The topic is considering the state of a car after being used solely by its owner who was a man or a woman.

The point is to analyse which gender takes better care of their own cars not which gender drives better overall.

Fallacy of hasty generalisation. The dude that purchased my discussion continues still thanks me till tomorrow for making good use of the car and leaving it in excellent condition. He practically had nothing to fix after purchase . It’s not all women that know next to nothing about the maintenance of a car.

Is worst that a car is used by a woman. They know nothing about maintenance....there own is to enter and drive. I have saved many of them ....they don't service their cars ...,they don't even know when is due for serving....

and who do you think is put in charge of maintaining the car if not the driver?
or you actually think the drivers use of car stops with driving it?
who do you think washes the car, puts petrol in its, takes it for servicing?
what do you think the reason for employing a driver is?

We know when the car is due for service when the engine starts bringing out black smoke, and if it does 'hard starting'. angry

Don't wait until engine gives black smoke before you go for servicing , you are not a taxi driver. From your last service, let the mechanic tell you how many milage your will cover before you come for next servicing . even if the oil is still okay as far as you have covered that distance, change the oil and filter. That way your engine will not know what is called problem . it can stay up to ten years with regular servicing.
Check oil and water and hydraulic every morning before you start your car. If you start the car, allow it to run like 10 minutes before you move.
Thank you

Even at that, most women are aggressive drivers, coupled with the fact that they only care about the appearance of the car and hardly about the "mechanism'

I see some car adverts stating the car is used by a woman as an advantage.

Personally I believe women use cars in a terrible manner. They just start and drive with next to zero maintenance routines.

What’s your take?

I don't know if your goal here is to type out as many rhetorical questions as possible. This is my last attempt to help you understand.

The question at hand deals with a hypothetical scenario wherein you are presented with two options to buy a car that has been used by a man or the same car that has been used by a woman for the same number of years on the same roads. The variables are all the same apart from the fact that the owners of the cars were of different genders.

There is no hired driver.
The cars have not been used for Uber.
The cars are driven by their owners alone.

Which of the cars will you buy? That is the question.

Lol well i think we can't use you alone to make an inference about all women. I really can't agree that women are generally more aggressive drivers.

But I will agree with you that women generally tend to care less about the mechanics of the care particularly if they have a man around like a husband, brother or father. If they don't i suspect you may find that women will found to be extra cautious in those circumstances.

Respect to all the women out there. With the little knowledge I have with regards to cars used by women, hmmm I'm not sorry to say only 2 out of 10 cars would turn out be to in condition for a 2nd or 3rd to 4th hand value lol.

Women are mostly non challant when it comes to caring for their vehicles,meaning as far as the car is functioning(moving) then there is no cause for alarm. Not until it breaks down, that is when they mostly call on their husband,Male friends or mechanic to come to their aid.

1, I know of few ladies who can't even pop the hood of there cars. ( How do dey do regular checks) engine oil,water and stuff.

2 ,I have one In my street,when ever she is driving into the street,she has to go full torque for her to be able to climb the little hill in our street,if not her car wouldn't go pass the hill lol. It's been one year and counting and she hasn't fixed the problem,each time I hear the sound of a car speeing into our street,it doesn't take me long to know it's our formula one aunty grin

3, A friend of mine,she cares less,if car doesn't break down,she is so not bothered. She has changed 2 engines in the span of 2 years lol.

Like I said massive respect to all the women out there,to be honest if a man isn't involved in a woman's car maintenance be it husband,boyfriend,brother and so,the car go suffer pass donkey grin

Women don't want you to cheat them or take advantage of them on the road and this has turned many female drivers to mean drivers...they drag road anyhow grin

you say? carefully ke, most women on the road are aggressive as hell, drive without caution and are damn ready to bash ur vehicle if u drag too much with her on the road.......

thats not what "carefully" means to me oh...

half of the remaining women that can be said to be careful are actually learning how to drive and the remaining half of this small percentage are just tired of all the hustle and bustle cos they have outgrown the aggressiveness!!!
