That is key. You can't expect to set the expectations 7 years down the road. And if you are serious about cars any wife-to-be needs to know and accept that. I can't tell you how many guys I know who had to give up the car or just watch it sit in the garage because they never came to an understanding. So no weekend trips, or even whole day trips. Hell, just trying to get out for a few hours is a hassle and after a while guys give up because it ain't worth it.
I will say this - it is a 2 way street. I can't expect to go to Carlisle for 4 days and not expect my wife to go away with her friends for a few days. That is where a lot of guys go wrong, they are over bearing, un-trusting husbands. It's a give & take deal. And family first. I've missed a lot of cruises and such for baseball and other things. And I don't care. I have fun and I'll still get to go to pigeon forge next year, and power tour one of these days, and back to sema, and Carlisle, etc. My wife knows I need my car to be happy, and she knows I won't put it in front of what is really important.
