My colors that i can use now is wonderful ..Does any gals here do yard art ?? Ive got spider/trees /dragon fly /fish in metal type stuff . I see myself wearing skirts and hot tops but good pair jeans are cats meow ..Whats your hot tomboy look ? But being a hands on girl when can you wear pretty nail polish .(dang need make bullet proof polish) When outside working on something the brain not crazy and true girl in me just living large .. Please all you handy dandy girls shoot me some fun stuff ..Thanks AKA Sara

I'm a biker babe, but got no Harley at the moment. Waiting 'til I move south to get a new one. Waiting for the boob fairy to get some hot girly leathers!

Went to change the headlights in my loaded 2008 Sebring (bought it used and LOVE to drive it) and chipped two nails yesterday.

Other than that I build gaming computers from scratch and do home repairs.

My nails take a beating but just flow with it .I have very good friends that are Harley riders and if something comes up they have my back .Home repairs it would be easier to list what i have not done on my house than what i have ..Computers i am in scratch my head ?? Thanks AKA Sara

Nope. And power tools freak me out, always have. That said, I'm weirdly interested in building sites and the construction of all kinds of structures...just as long as it's not me having to do the building I'm fine.

I love working on anything electronic, building things, doing little home repairs... I built the computer I'm typing this message on. I also designed its case myself. That was several years ago, before my transition. Now that I'm out an embracing my femininity, I'd have made the case girlier if I were doing it today, hehe~ Maybe a nice pink computer? I might redesign it yet, though. Besides the desktop, I've also got two laptops. One I received broken and repaired, and the other I've replaced so many parts on that it's practically a different machine at this point.

I love the smell of raw oil that comes out of the tailpipe of a freshly built motor.

I have a small CNC mill and I love to machine parts (often while I'm posting here, I'm actually baby-sitting the mill making sure it doesn't eat itself). Its neat to watch the computer do all the work.

I do all my own home repairs and cut my own grass/gardening (although I don't really enjoy it).

I love the sound of a V8,there's been a bronze 72 Barracuda cruising Blackpool sea front today.I was a biker for 12 years and rebuilt and worked on  the BSA and 3 TriumphsI owned.Often fancied a Harley Davidson Sportster but I've not ridden a bike since 1986.I like the new Mustang and Challenger but not the Camaro.I had muscle cars,Chevelle,Barracuda,Dart,Javelin and a Comet I also worked on them and helped my then boyfriend work on his 68 Cougar.I've rebuilt engines,carbs,can do some body work repairs including welding but electrical stuff I leave alone

I was horrible at that stuff.  I can just hear my father now telling me to man up and then ultimately telling me he will do it all on his own while I bring his un-used tools inside.

I can relate to that because even buildings are art form .Look at curves and how it flows ..Some building are almost alive .. Thanks for your response .AKA Sara

Hi everyone, I'm returning after along time gone, but as far as cars and things go. I'm a gear head I love Mopar always have always will. I love guns bigger the better. Me and my friends go shooting and the track all the time. I worked in the fabrication industry and love it. Its cool to see something start as nothing and finish as this massive structure. I really thought I was weird for being someone that needs to be the woman that I'm meant to be but be interested in these things. It's good to know that I was wrong.xt

Now you have my attention ..Motor chic and you cut the steel ..I am very good at welding and working with metal .But to use cnc machine would be christmas in may ..GO girl ..man i would build some hotty stuff (ops i mean girl ) Thanks for you time ..AKA Sara

God, there are days when I am surrounded by women talking about boys and clothes and shoes...

... and I just want to ask, "Did anybody see last week's Top Gear? That Pagani Huayra looks effin' sweet!"

You're not hanging out with the right women. 

I don't work on cars as much as I used to due to time, not being transgender. But I still do minor things to them except for oil changes because it's a pain to get rid of waste oil in NJ. I do minor appliance repair in the house (had to replace the rollers on our LG dryer last month) and still build computers.

I love nail polish, but I'm just too rough on fingernails. However, I keep my toes painted pretty much all year long and love it

Thanks!  I am a miserable welder. My welds look like chewed bubblegum. I don't get enough practice to get good at it.

I know a woman, born woman (in case anyone wonders), all of 5'3" tall and maybe 100 pounds soaking wet, but a born grease monkey. She bought a crashed Lamborghini countach (a real one) at an auction. Most people wouldn't take on a project like this let alone see the value in it, but she did and over the course of 10 years restored the car to factory new. So when she shows up at a car show most people think this little skinny blonde chick married the right guy and won the car in a divorce, but it isn't the case. It was a case of a woman who saw a pile of junk and could see the beauty inside.

I love cars myself, I own 4 of them. My current driving favorite is my 2014 stingray convertible (if it would ever warm up in the northeast).

Oh gawd, I HATE working on cars.  It's dirty and I basically suck at it.  Every time my wife had car problems and tried to make me deal with it, it was like, "Just beacuse I have a penis, it doesn't make me know about car problems.  Call a mechanic." Like I can wave my magic wand (so to speak) and magically fix it?

I do, however, know about home repairs.  I suck at plumbing (yes, I'll be needing more buckets and towels, please) but I did do a complete kitchen remodel two years ago.  I used to be an apartment manager in college, so I did a lot of repairs then.

I also used to be a guitar tech/luthier and can turn a pile of wood into a musical instrument.  I also fix and modify amplifiers, and was once the USA's Hiwatt amp tech. 

I basically have a garage full of tools that I use all the time.  Old habits die hard, I guess.
