love that lol i would definately say the same thing

my gf of 7 years knows where i stand, and she even says its my money spend it how i want :) shes into the car thing, she drove with me to kentucky to the vette museum and factory, and to kerbeck corvette last weekend, goes to all the car shows with me, helps me with projects... she teases me about selling the camaro all the time, but knows it wont happen

10k to run 10s?? You can do that cam only (with nitrous or weight reduction) or easily with heads/cam

Yeahhhh....um why did she need to know? Honestly if I havnt been going out with a girl that long and its inst serious what I spend my money on is none of her buisness. 10K why dont you just sell yours and take all the money and buy a car thats done?

well i am too attached to my car and i like to learn how to work on cars myself because i usually fix my friends cars, and 10k because i plan on going faster than 10's eventually so i am trying to do fully adjustable suspension, lightweight parts, and i gotta do rod bolts because i heard 98's had weak rod bolts, and i might as well do heads and cam while the motor is out, and i want a sunoco hood and paint which is included in the 10k

You guys are funny. Coming from a female perspective...if you want to keep a girl, don't tell her how much total. Ignorance is bliss. But you can't get away with that if she's a gear head herself. Which in that case, there would probably be a mutual understanding. It's a jealously thing. You're spending more time and far more money on a car than her. The girl wants to be number one. And should be if you actually care about her. I kinda went through the same thing when my bf started on his Camaro. He blew the engine up 3 years ago and has been sitting ever since. I finally managed to convince him just to finance the money that he didn't have saved yet. But I wasn't too thrilled over him talking about parts and spending thousands on parts and spending so much time looking for parts constantly...but since I did the same thing a few months ago...it was more understandable. It's so much easier to have someone who understands and shares the same interest. I would be perfectly fine wanting to dump $10K into a car...considering I almost have that invested into mine now. :)

i still took her out to dinner every week! lol

pfff where the hell is father time?

step 1: buy wife/lady car
step 2: apply 300 shot and go racing
step 3: build 8 second wife car she won't drive
step 4: profit!!!!!!!!!

When do we collect the underpants?

I've had to slowly work on my wife so she understands the car hobby. She is supportive but never fails to bring me back to earth when I get a little out of hand and little or large brown boxes show up at our door. I've started shipping to my office ;)

???????????

Let's see you go from a 13 second to a 8 second car and see how that goes

...the underpants gnomes from south park...

:lol::lol:

My neighbor sends her coach bag purchases to our house so her husband doesn't find out. I keep telling my wife that if she sees one she liks to take it. :)

Same here. She was never really bitter about it, she just didn't understand it too much.

where you goin 13's to 8's pal?

I'm not your pal, guy.

I'm not your guy, buddy.

That was my situation as well, but she has really come around and now goes to shows and helps me clean my car quite often
