I agree with the underlying sentiment – I have never understood why guys have such a passion for cars or why girls are attracted to guys with fast cars (except for the obvious Freudian implications).
But making the girlfriend change the tyre and push... not cool, dude!

Any woman who will change the tire on your car is a keeper.

If I knew how to change tires on cars, I'd gladly help. However, it seems to me that the innocent-doe-eyed-girl-who-is-incapable-of-changing-her-tires-and-needs-a-nice-strong-man-to-do-it routine always works, even it's a bit chauvinistic. xD

Changing tyres, opening tight jars and... some other things... Males do have their uses.

When it comes to changing flat tires / tyres there are Motor Clubs out there. There's AAA (Triple A) in the US and Australia, CAA in Canada, and AA in the UK. They offer roadside service and you don't have to be at the mercy of strangers hoping they are good samaritans. Your club dues are well worth the benefits you receive. Remember, on this site we usually talk about tiers, not tires.

If I had a dollar for every woman I knew who actually changed her own tire, much less her husband/boyfriend's, when there was a man somewhere in a 10-mile radius...I'd be broke.

Is it wrong then that as a woman I can change my own motorcycle tires without needing any help? I can also do other routine work on a car but my knowledge is quite limited.

It’s not wrong, it’s an option.

Hello Reaper,
I'll bet you don't try to convince any males in your life that they are so much better at washing up than you are either!

Hi Sarah, you are my favourite Sheila, a true Saucy Aussie. BTW Congrats on your promotion to Devoted Tugger. I'm a guy and I did change a flat by myself once in my life. I wasn't that crazy about it, but by golly, I did it! Sometimes I had friends with me (guys) or one time a couple helped me with a flat tire off an exit of Interstate 95 in South Carolina. I usually called AAA or my local mechanic. Fortunately I haven't had a flat in years since today's tires are a lot more sturdier.

Don't forget you are Down Under and I am Stateside. I often look at things from a spatial geographic perspective. Your country doesn't seem to have as many Ted Bundys and Aileen Wuornos' like we do, at least we don't hear about them as much. I suspect hitchhiking is more common there. I almost never go to bars or taverns here but I wouldn't think twice about calling on a pub in the UK or the Outback. There's not the sense of menace in most pubs like there are here in many American waterholes. BTW one of my favourite tunes from Oz is "A Pub With No Beer" by Slim Dusty. Most Yanks don't know that song, but I do! I suspect when that does happen there is a sense of potential menace.

Sarobah, you are a strong feminist and I am too, in the Alan Alda and Phil Donahue sense. I'm very egalitarian, that might explain why I'm a switch when it comes to TUGs. Still though If I was female, I might be tempted to use my charm, or try to flirt, talk or sob my way out of getting a traffic citation. It's called going Girly Girl. Still my female friends tell me that does not work like it used to do, especially if they're stopped by a female officer. When they see her get out of her patrol car and put on her hat and approach the car they say to themselves "I'm screwed!". As they hand over their license and registration, they'll mumble "Officer, just give me my ticket and let me get out of here please."

Sarah, I hope you make it to the States someday. I hope to make it to your neck of the woods someday. I always wanted to go even before the Crocodile Dundee films came out. I'd like to visit your Bondage Resort when it opens. If that's too extravegent, you could always scale back to a modest B&B (Bondage and Breakfast). Cheers. T.T.

I dunno about Reaper, but I can guarantee that the males in my life are better at washing up... indeed any of the common household chores. I am the living exemplar of the principle that having boobs doesn’t correlate with having domestic skills.

I do in fact wonder how many motorists do change their own these days.
Actually, the situation is unlikely arise for me because I rarely drive, for the same reason I rarely cook... for the health and safety of my fellow humans.

The rest is this wildly OT, but what the heck :o)
Australia does have its fair share of killers and other assorted nutcases. I wouldn’t advise hitchhiking.
As for “A Pub With No Beer” – yes a classic song. A real-life manifestation would not engender a sense of menace but rather paralyzing grief. My older relatives still talk (in a choking voice) about the Great Beer Strike of 1978 as if it were yesterday.
You are a strong feminist... It’s called going Girly Girl.

I would describe myself as a girlie feminist. I don’t change tyres but I don’t take no crap neither.
If I was female, I might be tempted to use my charm, or try to flirt, talk or sob my way out of getting a traffic citation.

I would not go that far... and not just because it wouldn’t work (with men or women). You gotta have limits!
I'd like to visit your Bondage Resort when it opens.

If any TUGs forum members wish to invest, I will send you a prospectus. We are in partnership with a very reputable Nigerian financial institution.

Using a fake Southern accent could get you shot in these parts.

And I'm still waiting for the millions of dollars I was promised by that "Nigerian financial institution" from the long-lost relative I had from there.

I don't rely on anyone in my life to do things for me. I cook, clean, do the washing up, DIY work, work on my motorcycle, laundry, etc. Also that and I do all these things for another person as well but I don't think I've ever had someone help me out with house work.
