Anyone elses wife into cars? Jenn loves 'em.. and i'm trying to work a his n' hers viper combo in the near future [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img] The new house floorplan calls for a 30x45 built in garage and a 75x75 external garage w/ loft... plenty of space for some new toys [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
The market will bottom out in cars in about 6 months, at which time i'm scooping up all that I wanted and holding on to them in a while.
My wife tells me one more car and I'm outta here..I guess im outta here in the near future)She loves it by I go a little overboard with it..I'm also into Harelys..One of my Harleys goes more than a new Viper..So that says it all...
[quote=RedSnakeGTS] good plan maxx!! as far as the "wife" my g/f isnt too into cars...... <hr /></blockquote>
Same her but she doesn't car how i drive. wooo hooooo [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
I had an ex tell me she wouldnt ride in my car because the exhaust was too loud at WOT! Hence the ex reference! [img]/images/graemlins/supergrin.gif[/img]
My wife lets me do whatever I like. But she doesn't like it when I drive fast. She is an attorney that has practiced health care subro stuff at her previous firm. So she got to see all the pictures and stuff. She doesn't mind if I race and stuff, just not kids on the street. I fund all of my own habits in addition to paying for most everything else so she really can't bitch too much.
Her idea of a perfect car is a Benz convertible.
My wife does not share my car hobby, nor does she object to it in any way. It's just not her thing. She does come to the track with me sometimes to spectate with the kids which is cool. She doesn't like speed, it scares her ... what can I say. Can't force this kind of thing on some people.
She's very philosophical about it though. She says she knows I work hard and support the family well so why shouldn't I have whatever hobby I want. She also knows a happy husband is a long term husband. Pretty enlightened I think.
My wife isn't into car's.Well at least she wasn't before.Now she comes home and tell's me how she dusted another BMW that was coping an attitude.Now THAT cracks me up.
She has NO desire to drive the Viper,never has.I'm OK with that.She know's what it can do,and isn't comfortable wwith it.I'm OK with that too.
She knows that it makes me happy so she supports it.
It's just hard to explain that new brakes cost about $5,000.We both remember driving car's that cost less than that.
My ex was into cars but not as much as I. She loved having them and riding in them but didn't like washing them or detailing them. I was just the mechanic.
