Whats with wives having issues with cars!

I wish I have Hucks wife! Ahhh I mean somebody like her who love for her man's car!

What was the secret?

I'm pretty sure my wife tries to ignore everything about my car. Fine with me!

My girlfriend is vaguely aware of some lady who lives in my garage and seems to take up a lot of my time.

I had to Google what fap meant. Geez. I'm way behind.

Sure enough, it was not noticed by the wife.

mine knows ive done stuff but she says its in one ear and out the other. she loves horses and the same thing happens with me about clothes and tack stuff. she loves cars though which is so frustrating! she wants to be a F1 driver and watches the racing alone with MotoGP, Pirelli WC etc. but refuses to work on the car or learn about parts. to each their own i guess.

She said, "yes I want to see why wanted this car so much".

(can't think of a good excuse for her not to take it)

So I said, "well let me turn it around and get the seat jacked up so you can see"

As she left she smiled menacingly and said, "I'll TRY not to wreak it"

She rolled to the end of the driveway and while I stood there sweating. WIDE OPEN THROTTLE FIRST GEAR ALL THE WAY TO REDLINE!!! I hear the motor wind back down and wait for the crash sound. But nothing...

So I go inside and call her, "Did you figure out how to take it out of manual?"

She said "Yep, I got it" as I hear the car screaming down the road in the background.

Your story is sad and funny at the same time

Good luck getting your car back

enkei2k · 07-20-2014, 09:51 PM

not well...

apparently my g/f didn't know the Z had dual exhausts...I've had the car for 2 years now...

Haboob · 07-21-2014, 09:47 AM

The girl I've been hanging out with lately is a car chick. She loves the Z. Wants to drive it... I may allow it.
