Like the time my wife and I took her car ( well ours but she drives it ) in. The service guys immediately tried to talk to me about. I in turn just pointed to my wife. So yeah, not all things equal, but let me ask, do women get nasty stares, lose friends or possibly a spouse because they wish to drive a car? Don't get me wrong I know what your saying. It's one of those things call a preconcieved idea.
