3. We know the difference between regular, ratcheting, torque, and allen wrenches. If you ask us for a tool, we will know which one to get you.

4. If you are driving around stupid and blowing black smoke at everyone, we will not think it’s cute. We know you’re being an idiot, knock that stuff off man.
​
5. We will gladly accept truck parts for any given holiday, Valentine’s Day included.

6. It is perfectly acceptable to classify a large truck event as a “romantic weekend getaway”.

​7. Smelling like a diesel shop is the best cologne you can wear. As long as it’s not burnt transmission fluid, that smell stays in your nose for days.

10. We are constantly fighting to break stereotypes for ourselves in the diesel performance world. Everything from “truck sluts” to “Daddy paid for your truck”. If you’re going to date one of us you’ll have to prepare yourself for an independent, crazy, passionate woman who is always ready to get her hands dirty and prove herself to be just as good, if not better, than anyone in the industry.

So, still think you can handle dating a diesel loving girl?!
