I don't pull through because I need to be able to access the back doors of my Suburban to load lumber, or groceries or.....

for some automatic transmissions, this is a leading cause of mechanical failure.

Dodge/Chrysler, in particular, have a problem with this. Have seen a lot of failures on their 4-speed OD transmission in pick-up trucks and vans in the shops I've called on through the years.

PS: the trans doesn't care who is driving the vehicle at the time ... the mechanical failure is the same and the guy repairing the transmission of the bench has no ability to see what gender driver caused the failure.

Thanks for most likely proving my post earlier ... NO girlfriend or wife I take it?
I have known many females that are as good as or BETTER than most males in regards to anything mechanical.

My guess is the gals who do this don't know any better. Depending on the car and how fast it's moving when they do this, it may or may not cause damage, but it's not a good idea.

I have answer to ALL of your questions on "why do women".

A fella walked down the beach and stumbled upon an old bottle. He uncorked it and genie came out.
Master, I spent 30 000 years imprisoned in this vessel. Ask 3 wishes and they will be granted.
Ok, says the guy, who happens to be from Seattle. First, build me a mention that will put to shame any mansion belonging to Bill Gates and Paul Allen right here on Mercer Island.
Done, Master, says Genie.
Next, build me another mansion on Sandal islands, that will put to shame any other tropical abode in the world.
Done, says Genie.
Ok, now see, I hate flying, but enjoy driving, says Seattelite. Build me a personal freeway from my mension on Mercer Island to my my mansion on islands.
Master, cries Genies, it's depression, times are tough, even I, the Great Genie, can not do this. Ask something else!
OK, says guy. I'm easy. See, I am a womanizer, but never really had success with women. explain to me woman's nature, so that I can be more successful.
Master, cries genie, you want two, or four lanes on that freeway?
