Question Finally happened and is this normal?

Well the GF got a little pee'd at me and I got "If I only got a 1/4 of the attention you paid to your car I'd be happy and at the end of the day it's only a f**king car!!". Am I the only one??

Let her know that if she wears the racing stripes on her, you'll pay more attention to her!!!

Tell her if you can ride her as hard as you ride the car, then things will be different.

Ok my problem is my wife doesn't want me to modify my car. How do I convince her to let me do just a few things?

Let her know that if she puts out half as much as your car does then you'll be happy

before you go out to spend time on or with your ride ask her if she would like to spend some quality time with you. Ask her if she would like to be carressed.

That's why we have 3 "piles"... hers, ours and mine. What we do our personal "pile" is never questioned

Ever thought about "don't ask, don't tell" as it relates to car mod purchases??

Seriously though, it took mine a while to understand this whole car and modification process. Although she does give me grief sometimes about the parts I buy for the car, she has told me more than once that I could have worse hobbies. And she is not happy with the fact about always looking for Mustangs now and regularly points them out to me when we are driving around.

My girl is pretty cool and I don't think she'd say something like that...But i also headed the comment off at the pass when i got the 2012 by first doing a cool drive down the coast labled a "date" and then...hold your breath... taught her to drive it. She did very well and didn't take any mileage off the car. But was still scary. I do have a lot of practice teaching people on my 2000 mustang to drive stick (and the clutch was in great shape still when i sold it i want to add) but teaching someone stick is not the easiest thing, and she has to want to learn which may be an obstacle.

Change your avatar so when she walks by your computer she doesn't think Quagmire is one of your idols.
