Hello, my name is Diana (aka The Grease Girl) and I have an addiction - to cars.

Okay, maybe not an addiction but certainly an appreciation, maybe bordering on obsession.  I'm a middle aged computer geek by day who can't seem to get enough of anything and everthing relating to automobiles. I'm facinated by the mechanics, the aesthetics and the delicate balance between the two. I admire the designers who take a device meant to get mankind from point A to point B and turn it into a rolling work of art. I'm amazed at their complexity but surprised by the simplicity of some of their inner workings. Who knew that something as important a brake cylinder could consist of a scant few pieces of metal and rubber?!

Over the past couple of years I've written about some of my favorite 'automotive exploits' and have long been encouraged to do so with greater frequency. Which is why I developed this blog. I finally decided to put together 'The Grease Girl' so others can enjoy my quest for all things car related. So fasten your seatbelt and ride along as I share my personal odyssey for all things automotive - whether it be restorations, drives, cruise-ins, shows, track days or just the never ending expansion of my wrench turning knowledge.
