Car Girl: A girl who has a noticeable interest in cars and enjoys working on them.

You're either too masculine or you're just thirsty. There's no in between, apparently. A passion for cars is my family tradition. My dad, two of my uncles and my grandpa all worked on a Ford assembly line. My mom used to show cars, and even street raced in her more rebellious teen years. Of course I would love cars, given the way I was raised. However, being a "car girl" is a struggle.

You know you set that ratchet down on the work bench yesterday, so where did it go? Oh, wait, one of the guys probably took off with it because they probably didn't think you actually need it.
