Alternatively though, sometimes the woman is just sick of the messes and money-stealing nature of the car hobby. As easy as it may be for us to come to terms with the fact of expenses involving our passion, women don't tend to see it the same way.
They don't change. The warning signs are always there from the start, it's just that most guys (or at least half, judging by divorce rates) either don't notice them or choose to ignore them

They choose to believe that "she'll grow out of that" while the wife believes that he'll grow out of the car thing. When it becomes apparent that she really is what she always was and he is what he always was, that's when the bitterness and resentment comes in.

If car guys spent half as much time selecting a spouse as they spend selecting a set of coil overs, these things wouldn't happen.
