Comment on Mechanic by vombavr

Gorgeous. I love the combination of mechanical detail and female model in a role normally reserved for males (Yes, sexist I know). I have a story though to explain why I love this. I was at at a Hooter's in Georgia and our waitress said she wanted to be a diesel mechanic. My co-worker thought that was a ridiculous job for her since she would need men to do the heavy lifting (not that they have cranes and lifts for that) - and what they do if she got pregnant? He said they'd have to hold her job for her while she was out. I thought he was a jerk. Later he developed an illness that required he lay down on a couch during his shift. So he had an office with a couch in it. And all I could think about was how he thought poorly of this waitress' ultimate career goal being encumbered by pregnancy.
