Never force me to choose between you and my Mopar!

[Durandal25]

I'm now without a girlfriend. She said I spend too much time with my Coronet and to choose between her or the car. I guess we were not meant to be. I'm sure my Mopar girl is out there somewhere.

....my wife is from Manchester England, and they have a totally different perspective on car culture over there, but even though she's no fan of the cars, she is a fan of the hard work I put into them. The major issue most people have with each others hobbies is validation. My wife is a marathon runner and works her butt off every week to stay in shape to run sub- three hour 26.2 mile runs, and I respect the hell out of that. She ran Boston this year, and ran her best time yet......before the bombs.

I tell mine the cars were here before She was and they'll be here when She's gone. AYE!

My wife is never happy about the time I spend on my car, but she know what it means to me so she keeps quiet about it. She knows I don't want sit with her and watch Dance Moms or anything else that comes on Lifetime, so its a trade off. Give and take. That is the only way a relationship works. Ultimatums never end well for the one who issues them.

Now you will have more money to spend on the car. I hope that you never let her drive it either, that would make me feels so used. When I 1st started to gather parts for my Bee my Ex-wife saw on Ebay how much Mopar parts were going for. She started to seriously hint around at selling either the whole car or parting it out. That was 1 of the first hints to me that we weren't going to last.

Guys, thanks for all the Ayes [what, no parrots, eye patches or peg legs??? lol] ... but just like all of you, I've never been one to mince words and always speak from the heart.

Your shoe has been on my other foot more than I'd readily admit -- whether it's time I spend in my shop working on all of your parts, typing quotes or customer updates at 2:30 a.m. [busted by Rumblefish just last night in fact lol], or the exceedingly rare moments I get to spend playing with my hot rod -- and hear "Are you gonna be doing that all night???" instead of joining him for the latest episode of Top Gear or the NHRA qualifying rounds.

As far as Dancing Moms, Wives Of Wherever, or Operation Run[a]Way go ............ {{ shiver }} ............. give me The Speed Channel any day. And for what it's worth, I hate to shop, don't hang out at the mall, own less than 8 pairs of shoes, despise gossip and drama, and actually enjoy getting dirty ... because it shows progress and that I'm doing something. Billy has mentioned more than once that I have a guy's brain in a female body and "don't think like a chick." I consider it a compliment of the highest order.

But he still doesn't get to drive my car.

Anyway, it's terrific being here with a bunch of like-minded Mopar lovers. Whether you get it at home or not, you can know in your hearts that you at least have MY support.

Aye, I love CudaChick :icon_syda:

 

[Speedbird]

That's pretty funny, what is it with women and cars? When my wife complains about it I just tell her I could be like allot of guys, out drinking, cheating, getting high or getting into trouble. At least my hobby is constructive and benefits her as well "she gets new cars (totaled) for dirt cheap. Ultimatives are never a good idea, even if you wanted to keep the girl the fact that they put you in that position is reason enough. Rock on, now go make love to that car.

Yep. You have a productive hobby and aren't carousing?
She sounds either manipulative, insecure, controlling or a combination of them.
Move on.

 

[70redbee]

Aye..Aye..Aye..Aye...who doesn't love CudaChick, a man's brain in a beautiful woman's body, how the hell could you ever go wrong?

[Budnicks]

OK, all those in love with Cuda Chick say aye?????

AYE!

a big AYE! from me too... my long time girlfriend Honey, Loves my 68 RR, she's even bought me a few parts here & there "with out me having to even ask", she just knew, probably because I talk with her about cars in general, she likes cars too, we spend time doing stuff on her truck too, then she helps & supports what ever I do, no matter what I choose to do... but she still ain't going to be driven it thou...LOL... If Her &/or I was ever going to get married {we are happy the way we are now}, I would definitely marry a girl like her, she doesn't want to change me, she excepts me for who & what I am...

she named my 68 RR the B_I_T_C_H jokingly, she says "because I spend more time under it, than her"

 

[Mr.SpeedFreak]

Hell yeah! Good choice man, and don't worry about it too much. They'll be coming out of the woodwork once you're out driving the 'net lol

I saw a motorcycle on a trailer parked here in my town with a for sale sign and another sign reading "I love my girl more than my bike" I felt like making a sign to put under it reading "Let us know how that works out for ya."

You made the right decision. My girlfriend loves my Chevelle and Charger and puts up with me working on them. They're out there!

 

[roadrunnerman]

ok, all those in love with cuda chick say aye?????

Aye!

aye !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Cranky]

My X didn't get it but she didn't like anything I did but the killer was when we had our little girl, she turned into Godzilla. I wasn't to be alone with her at all and could never do anything with her unless I was under strict supervision. Back then I didn't know what the hell her problem was and didn't even think about trying to get her to go for professional help. Doubt she would have gone any ways. And ride in one of my cars....so long as I didn't get over 55 and better not ever nail the gas from a stop. Why did I marry her? Good question. My present wife actually likes to drag race and we've been married since 86!
