If I say people don’t love cars so that will be wrong because about 95% of people in the world love cars. People dream about cars all day they work hard to make their dream happen. If I say that in Asia, women are restricted to drive any vehicle so that will be quite obvious. But this woman is not from Asia she is from Australia but she currently lived in UAE.
In the small town of Brisbane, on September 21, 1985, a lady was born who is not related to any professional gift but she had eager to do something to achieve something great. Alexandra Mary “Alex” Hirschi, known online as Supercar Blondie. She moved to Dubai after her marriage she struggled to get a job but she failed many times. She applied for job after job but at one point she found herself wanting to do what she doesn’t want.
I’d gone through several different jobs and I landed myself a job as a receptionist in a bank just because I needed to pay the bills and it’s just not what I loved.”

Just like she said said it’s just not what she loved because what she loved was cars but it was very difficult for women like her to do anything with cars. Because she was not a car expert and besides she was not a man. Because this field is a man’s world and women like Alex didn’t belong here in this field but she didn’t give up.
One weekend she rented a supercar from Bentley and made a video about it then she posted it on the internet and over a million people liked that video and they liked her style. People like her style because she points out everything on a car that people want to know about.
99% of the population are not car experts, I don’t use car lingo, I am not a car expert I am a car lover”. And that was the real passion she reviewed cars every weekend. Every weekend for a year.”

But as we know when we meet new lovers then life introduces us to new haters too. The car experts thought she was a joke, car companies didn’t see any interest and value in her. Even her friend made fun of her.
The people who hate you speak loudest and that’s all you end up seeing is comment after comment of people saying you don’t belong here. What do you think you are? Get back in the kitchen or you must use your body to get to where you are? why else would you be successful as a woman in this field?
I needed to go through therapy at one point because I was so down about everything.”

She also drove the official batmobile. In 2020 she a.k.a “Supercar Blondie” won a Shorty award for breakout YouTuber. Women like Alex encourage the future generation. Especially those girls who think they can’t do anything in this society as long as they smashed the door.
I made a decision to just give it a go I had to do something that I loved.”
