Girlfriend Jealous

[dawnst3ar]

My wife understands and helps whenever she can. We spent the entire fourth of July weekend working on the car - replaced all the lights with LEDs, blacked out the reflectors in the front four lights and the rears, and added the OEM splash guards.

It is about compromise and understanding - relationships are about working together for both your benefit. I hate that advertisement, it shows the worst in people - selfishness all around. I cannot imagine making a purchase that large without talking to my wife, and I cant imagine that she would keep me from it unless it were completely out of the realm of possibility. If you cant understand what I mean, then you might want to think about your relationship and possibly even your definition of love, imho.

This exactly. She makes fun of me and doesnt understand it but she knows its important to me. She pretty much handles all our finances and it has come to a point where she tells me how much this month we can allocate to car parts :P

My girlfriend encouraged me to buy my FR-S and even helped haggle my interest rate down as well as my payments. <3

Sometimes she's a bit jealous though. :P

That would be a waste of money. What would a car do with flowers and chocolate?

[FRyeS]

I got 99 problems...

My wife put the vinyl decals on and bought me Perrin tips for a surprise...I think you might have the wrong woman...tell her to pack her sh!t and get out if she doesn't like it.

I would actually like to stop spending so much time on the car and more on the hos.

Exactly. My wife and I enjoy the FRS together. She helps me wash it, put mods on, and even is learning how to drive a stick in it. Its a partnership for me. She married into a guy who loves cars, and she wants to be a part of it.

my wife owns her own twin. we enjoy driving together when we take both cars out for a spin. we help each other out with mods. only thing she's jealous of is my wheels, I'm jealous of her cat back and intake.

I am starting to get a better understanding why females are so limited at FR-S/BRZ meets and gatherings...

They get no love and attention - lol

I married my dream girl. Settled on the car. Personally I'd rather be driving an Aston Martin DBS...

Edit: I mean I'd rather be driving the DBS than an FR-S, not my wife. :P

Wow many of you are very lucky to find someone so supportive, i had one but was young and dumb and f'd it up, if you have one and not married yet do it soon.
I am a start work on an obd reader for women hopefully it will help us who have no clue out.

I'm in the same boat. I support her hobbies and she supports mine. Added bonus is mine actually loves driving and participating in AutoX/HPDE.
