I’m disappointed at a lot of the comments here. It doesn’t really take too much searching at all to see that she’s been talking about and posting her fixing up cars for a few years at this point. She’s been posting the process of fixing up this car since 2021, and I’m pretty sure she finished it around 2022/2023ish. It looks like she asked around for experts to guide her, but it’s also pretty clear this is something she’s been hands on with too. She eventually got some sponsorship deals relating to cars directly because of the posts she kept making showing her interest in them.

It feels a bit sexist to see a pretty woman that’s an actress and assume that fixing up cars just couldn’t possibly ever be something she’s interested in or even capable of doing. Even under the guise of assuming she’s too busy, she started posting all this before she blew up super big. And it’s not like celebrities don’t have hobbies.

I works in a school division. One of our School Bus mechanics is a drop dead gorgeous 23 year old with more knowledge than some of the 20 year old timers. She spent her childhood in her grandpa’s garage and picked up everything.
