"This was driven by a women, curb marks on all wheels."

You would have an argument if that comma was a period.  It isn't
and the offending text is _still_ on the web site.

Trying to hide behind 'statement of fact'?  No, I don't think you are
trying to hide, but it's coming across that way.  You have "This was driven
by a woman", a complete sentence, followed by "marks on all wheels" which
isn't a sentence, lacking a verb, so it can easily be construed as
adding information to the preceding clause.  When expecting people to
fill in the missing words, why should we put 'there are' in rather
than 'so' or 'hence'?

'Drivel'?  This does nothing to defend your position and in
fact makes you look worse.
