I’m a female mechanic – people say I don’t look like it, especially when they see me in cutoff shorts and a crop top
WORKING in a car shop is tough work, but one woman has revealed she can look good while doing it.
Haters, however, told her she doesn’t exactly look the part of a mechanic.
Melissa is a mechanic and digital content creator.
She posts her blue collar work-related content on TikTok under the handle @thedieselqueen.
She took to the social media platform to reveal her day job and how she styles herself when she’s on the clock.
The heavy equipment mechanic showed herself working on larger-than-life machinery.
The blonde beauty clearly had no qualms getting her hands dirty in the mechanic shop.
She also revealed that she can put in muscle by using a sledge hammer to mock naysayers about her career path.
The videos came as part of a social media trend where beauties who work in traditionally blue collar career paths prove that a woman can excel in a male-dominated industry.
Melissa also wasn’t afraid to demonstrate her feminine side by dancing atop a pick-up truck in her denim Daisy Dukes and crop top.
She shared the common things she hears from trolls who don’t understand how she broke into the industry.
“But you don’t look like a heavy equipment mechanic,” she wrote.
Supporters of Melissa shared their two cents in the comment section of the now viral video.
“Good job girl keep up the good work,” one wrote.
“I like that you can do both,” another commented.
“Love woman who doesn’t mind getting her hands dirty,” a third added.
Melissa clearly knows her way around a mechanic shop and looks good while doing it.
