Liz can hold her own. I think she is intelligent enough to not bite off more than she can chew on her own... and in that environment, it is how you survive. Its not about slamming things together and she knows what quality building is about.

Smart, witty, drives a real hot rod and is quite the little hottie... what more could you ask for??
