  Attention to detail
  “I’ve always been impressed by how women take care of 
  their machines” Smith says. “They keep them clean and

  they let you know about it.”

I'd be happy to look at any statistics you can provide that show "equally hard on things".

Post on /r/mechanicadvice, dump out the 80% that were written by someone who's never actually turned a wrench and sift through what's left?

Regarding trash specifically I think the difference between a company vehicle and a personal vehicle is going to make a bigger difference than gender.
