You are amazing because I could not deal with a stench for two weeks. No more chicken invited in your car again, lol.

I'm glad you didn't get onto your sister about it. She is just 9, and trying to help. I wish more kids were that helpful.

I was expecting your sister to be a teen

My sister is 9 as well OP, and I too am a teenage girl that drives. I could see my sister doing something like that too. Glad you guys could laugh it off!

#51 like I said I'm a teenage girl. So obviously I have more important things to do then check every inch of my car over a rotten smell. I told my dad about it and he said if it gets really bad then he would check it out. So take your ignorant opinions off my post.

I'm a little concerned that you thought it may be coming from under the hood and you didn't have your parents or someone check it out. Teenage girl or not.

You're not bad with cars because your a teen or a girl. You're just bad. Own up to your own ignorance instead of blaming it on sexist gender roles.

I'm sorry if you think that you have better things to do as a teenage girl than get you car looked at for something you think may be under the hood, then you should not own your own car. I wouldn't leave my parents alone until they checked it out or I would put the responsibility into my own hands and take it to the dealership. sure you had a minor problem but if something was actually wrong and your excuse is "I had better things to do" then you definatly deserve anything that happens to your car

#61 you don't even know what I mean by better things to do so don't tell me I deserve to have something bad happened to my car. I just got that car so figured a rotten smell wouldn't be anything too bad. Like I said, I told my dad (who is a mechanic) and he just told me to tell him if it gets worse. So I trusted him enough to just keep driving the car.

You all need to give her a break. I know that at 16 I had better things to do than worry about a lot of stuff. A car gives off a funky smell, you tell your parents, if they think it's fine, you believe them. I'd have believed my parents and waited for their opinion than taking it to a dealership where I get charged. I don't believe OP did anything wrong, especially if her dad knows about cars. So lay off.

y'all need to stop being rude. there is a huge difference between rotten food smells and a defective car smell. she told her parents and clearly they thought it was safe enough. if you're not in he situation... shut the hell up and just say you're glad she found the nasty smell.

Nope. Still bad with cars, regardless of age or gender.

Not sure why all the negative points.

Being a teenage girl has nothing to do with knowing about cars. I was a teenage girl and I know quite a bit about cars. Part of owning a car is to look after it and maintain it. If you are not willing to do that, you are not ready to have a car.

I know enough about to cars to have my license, and have paid for the car all by myself. I'm not starting a gender or age fight. I'm simply stating that most teenage girls aren't going to know everything about cars. And I'm one of those teenage girls.

And that statement is based on sexism. You could just as easily have said that you don't know much about cars instead of dragging the gender stereotypes into the discussion and then getting defensive when others call you out on it.

#82 well if you watch tv you can see that every mechanic is a guy on every show or movie you watch. And I'm pretty sure you don't know any girls who are car experts so don't even try to make me feel bad. This isn't even about gender roles. I'm simply stating that ever since the day I was born I have NEVER met another girl under the age of 18 that knew a lot about cars.

How could you have more important things to do? Assuming that it had been coming from the car, especially under the hood: Which is more important your makeup/friends/homework/boyfriend/etc... or your life. something like that could easily be causing catastrophic damage. I'm actually glad that it was just a rotting chicken, and not something worse.

#84 did you even read my comments? I only use my car for school and work. And I told my dad, who has been a mechanic since before I was born, and he said not to worry about it, so I trust his opinion.

people just get too easily butt hurt now a days about sexism op don't worry about it. and ya most mechanics are guys and to be honest guys are most into cars when they're teen unlike girls who have their own interests and sure this doesn't apply to everyone but stereotypes hold some validity they're not just pulled out of thin air. plus she told her dad so she did take responsibility into making sure it was okay even if she didn't lift the hood herself .

I bought so much stuff that day, I barley remembered any of the food I bought. But next time I'll definitely be checking the receipt!

#55 NO THATS MEAN
