How well does your spouse (or gf/bf) know your car?

Meulen · 05-30-2014, 09:59 AM

My wife is very involved. I share just about every decision on mods with her. I bought the car for us to enjoy together. It's actually in her name. But only cuz I have a curse with cars I put in my name!

It is funny as I would never bore her with what I am up to.

I'm not kidding.

My wife digs nice cars too. I used to have a vette. She didn't like it. So when I wrecked it, I got the Z. We both liked Z's so it was a natural choice. She used to work in a bank and I work in investments. So she does the books in our house while I take care of investments. So she knows everything I buy and she's very opinionated on mods too!

My wife doesn't really like the Z, so she doesn't have a lot of interest in what I do to it. She did notice the PWJDM V.2 shift knob I recently installed and she thought it looked nice. Her hobby is gardening so she's pretty focused on plants and stuff. I do my best to be interested in what she's doing in the garden and dig holes for her plants when she needs help. When we go on a date we usually take the Z and that's about the only time she rides in it. She thinks the Z is too loud, the ride is too bumpy, and she usually doesn't notice my mods.

My wife knows it very well I didn't even like the 370 until after I got one for her.

My fiance knows nothing about cars and she has no interest, just not her thing. I like it that way, she don't get involved in my ****.
Took her to ZDayZ with me, let's just say she will not going back next year.

That was a TERRIBLE decision...

my wife doesnt use the garage so i could have a new car in there and she would not know for a while.

..until my kid probably opens his mouth.

I just told her I've had it all along and waited this time to put it on.

So....how well do they know your car. Not well enough.

Can you show us any side views or other angles of the new wing... I love it! Where did you purchase from ?

You have unrealistic expectations. Your car will never mean to your wife what it does to you.

Years ago I had a moustache and one morning decided to shave it off. My wife (now ex- for other reasons) asked me if I had gotten a haircut. She knew there was something different but couldn't figure out what it was. It was the next day before she figured it out.
