Car Vs Wife/GF

[forcefedcobra]

I catch hell from my wife from time to time but we both have things we enjoy so I just remind her of all the time she spends playing softball and leave it at that. The bonus now is my son (age 2.5) loves the cobra and always wants to go in the garage to see it or sit in it. I'll be done with the cobra soon and will have bills paid off early next year so a new DD is on my mind. If I even say anything about selling the cobra my wife freaks because she knows our son would be very upset. The cobra stays and a new DD will be in the driveway this spring.

I'm single so I have no problems! Sorry had to rub it in for some of you guys. haha

i think i got you beat. My girlfriend is not into cars but she understands my love affair with it. she even buys car parts for me. i told her from day one that i'll probably have several hotrods, but the cobra will never leave. But she does complain about spending time with her. Not that i spend more time with the car, but just that i'm deployed or on some trainning det all the time.

My wife hates the car and bitches about it all the time. My girlfriend however loves it and always wants to go for rides.

Best post of the week goes to you my friend, love it!!!

 

[tarheeltrooper]

If my g/f ever complained about my car she would be out.. we have been dating ten years and shes okay with it.. she dont enjoy the car but never says anything about money or the time I spend.

You could not have freaking worded it any better!!!

You're down range and you're thinking about your Cobra more than some "quality time" with the wife? You need to rearrange your priorities! I love my Cobra something serious, but at night the Cobra sleeps in the garage. Guess who sleeps next to me? Yeah, I missed the Cobra when I was down range too, but the Cobra doesn't ride as well as a hot blooded woman. There's plenty of time for the Cobra, trust me. Take care of the wife and she'll let you do your thing with the "mistress".

I see your wife has you brainwashed just like the OP's wife is trying to do.

One more reason I'll never get married. Oh and I love sleeping in past 5pm and wearing my underwear in my house 15 hours out of the day.

When I was in Iraq I got alot of the whole you miss the car more than me bullshit, but this time it seems to have gotten worse lol, I guess cuz last deployment was all about buying the car and this one is all about modding it. She just doesnt understand why I wanna blow money on it. So I just lie and tell her everything I'm doing to it is to make it safer and more reliable :burnout: lol

 

[xenodragon]

My wife only complains because I spend all my time waxing and detaling it, and dont do that to her craptastic mitshubishi.

And seriously whoever spent $7k and $17k on mods...you got ripped off big time.

 

[xenodragon]

I know all to well how ya feel brother, same way here...I dropped nearly 17K in mine over the last year and half with parts and labor. She loves the car almost as much as i do but recently wants me to sell it cause its been in the shop getting upgrades since i got home in June.

I really hope you went Twin Turbo for $17k.

First off no 1 said ne thing about me putting a car before my wife. 2ndly I'm home on R&R so me and my wife were discussing this subject once i'm home for good. When I'm down range i have no time to think about the civilian life. I work 14-17hrs shift flying in Blackhawks. I prefer my job over my Cobra b/c i get a better thrill out of that. My wife is my everything i I put her before everything that i do in life. My priority has been in checked in she would vouch for that all day long

I need to read more of this but from the First Sentece "All the Time"

 

[G2Mach1]

She complains about the fuel consumption and insurance on my car...

 

[Tims97SVT]

No g/f so no problems. Ill wait till I find a girl that likes the car, does not mind if I work on it or spend money on it and wants to drive it herself. It's way to much fun to only enjoy it yourself so find someone that will enjoy it with you.

 

[JasonW]

My gf actually enjoys the car and going for cruises with the top down. Now that the cars done and coming out of the shop this week sometime, I put a ring on her finger (this past weekend). Wasn't doing that one til the car was done though, even though she loves it.

Then again, she's extremely open about her dislike of my truck (lifted) as she doesn't see the point in lifting a vehicle. Confuses the hell outta me.

 

[SH3LBY]

I feel sorry for you guys. I can't imagine being jealous of a car. Pretty insecure women you have. I asked my husband for my 2011 GT500 for my birthday. He was delighted. It had been far too many years since we had a fun ride. I keep the car cleaner than the house.
If your wife/gf is jealous of a car, I think there may be other issues at work.

You poor bastard! It's much easier to just find some woman you hate and give her half your shit and punch yourself in the nads!

 

[Sniperdog]

My wife likes when I spend money on it,., cause there is less of a chance that I will sell it and buy a new Z06 lol

she is the best :thumbsup:

when I told my wife I was buying a four post lift for the garage, she was like, .,.cool :-D

 

[CAPTAIN JACK]

no g/f, frigid wife, Roush 427R at least makes it, wife "understands" but will not ride in
