This is just general-public levels of durrrr.

Your girlfriend calling you to tell you that she hit a pole while pulling into a parking spot at the grocery store, that's a women driving moment.

A girl once got mad at me for suggesting that she purchase a quart of 10W30 for her Honda, instead of the 2-cycle oil she had already picked out.

Gosh, I'm sorry. I should have remembered the bottle you picked out is your favourite color. Good choice. I'm sure your car will love it.

My Z is brown so I put fresh oil in there.

When it gets dirty and black, I put it in the Focus.
