Lovin' My Car: Women in the Driver's Seat

By Libby Edelman

Grease monkeys, gear heads, collectors, hobbyists, and speed freaks, to name just a few of the car and truck lovers out there all share a passion for their beloved motor vehicles. There are endless reasons to love the thrill of the road, the horsepower, and freedom that comes with it all; but who says women can't be just as fanatical as men?

After many years spent in cars with her husband, Sam, and son Jesse, with their constant banter about cars--the exciting new models on the market, the finer details of engines and their sizes, round and round about tires, wheels, and gears, the know-how and questions about maintenance and repairs, and so on--Libby Edelman would find herself wondering: Why do my men love their cars so?

Inspired to seek out an alternative, Edelman found a community of women from all walks of life who share an automotive love. Some cars are fancy, some quirky, and most are everyday cars. All have proud women owners who share their stories of what their cars and trucks mean to them. These cars are the loves of their lives--an extended family member. They coddle them, talk to them, name them, and (as if anyone could resist) race them.
