Significant Others

[MoeBawlz]

My gf likes cars, but doesnt care about the projects til its done basicly. Til then its just a expensive hunk of metal... Which it is...

[AAW]

Maybe it's because I work in the industry...but I'm all for it!

We just bought a new Corvette (well, new to us) today and I'm super excited! The first thing I said after I signed the papers was "What do you want to change first?" lol

You guys have such a bad influence on me! My husband thanks you, I'm sure.

[monza]

The "They are more into it than I am! Encourages it." careful she might be getting some on the side...ha ha !!

[baz67]

No comment. Can I plead the fifth

[Damn True]

My wife likes the fact that it makes me happy but has a hard time understanding why I still call it a "Camaro" when the finished product will have only exterior sheetmetal in common with the Camaro it once was. The car is totally on hold though until the house is done.

He friends, the kind of girls who see nothing wrong with having 100 pairs of shoes, roll their eyes every time the subject comes up, but their husbands are all wish they too had a blank canvas '68 Camaro in their garage.

My wife is not into the car, but is good about letting me work on it one day per weekend as long as the other day is spent with the family. My son loves working in the garage with me.

[70TWO NOVA]

My girlfriend didnt used to be into it when we first started dating (probably because the first thing I did on our first date was take her to my house to show her my then "project" Nova), but since then she has definately gotten into it. She was even the first person to work on my 68 Camaro even before myself,tearing out the old interior, and has a list of cars she wants "us" to build including a 69 Camaro (of course), 64 Malibu that must be bagged she says, and a 67 Chevy II. I think I got myself a good one!

[nitrorocket]

Mine hates my car now, she liked it when it was loud, idled at 1100 rpm, got 6 mpg, and was at 3600 rpm to go 60 mph.

Oh well, to each there own.

[Bow Tie 67]

I have learned to make sure I balance my time with her and the " other woman ". She has offered to help where she can, but is not into cars. In fact she is leary of driving in my toys, she was involved in a bad accident 2 years ago and does not like driving fast. All in all she is supportive and knows once its drivable the dinning room will be empty of auto parts. Lol

[B Schein]

My girlfriend doesn’t under stand it at all and really it when I “smell like metal”.

[TonyL]

Mine loves it. She's been there holding stuff and helping when she can the whole time. To her it's "our" car. She's emotionally invested in it just as I am.

It didn't start off that way. She, like most women doesn't have "vision" to see past the heap that was drug home on a trailer. It took countless photoshops to get her on board. Her need to see me happy had her there as the work started and the car started to become what it is now. The more the car started to look like the photoshops the more she dug it. Now that she's seen a car change like this, she's real excited. She has a little car of her own now. (a 97 cabrio) with rims, that is lowered, that is fixed up her way making it her car.

Our first weekend together was spent at Hot August Nights. It's where we fell in love. She *has* to go every year as tradition. How cool is that?

My Father in law is a total gear head. He has built mag cover cars in the garage as my wife was growing up. My wfe's 1st car was a 71 Camaro and she wants us to build another one. She understands not until mine is done. She will come out and turn wrenches with me and knows what she is looking at and what I am talking about.

She DOESN'T ge the whole Street fighter thing. She thinks cages and sprot/racing seats kill the look of a classic car. She wants a cruiser more than anything. But she says I can build MY car MY way and HER car HER way.

Don't think for a second though HER car won't have big brakes and a beefed up suspension nonetheless!

[NOPANTS-68]

My wife's thankful that I'm not into fast boats anymore. The Nova's damn cheap compared to that thing.

[rocketman]

Mine tolerates it, but doesn't really get into the show's and stuff, I bought her a 68 Camaro convert, and to her it's just a nice car drive, She'll do some cruise nights if it's near a place she can go shopping, while the cruise night is going.

But pretty much doesn't like it. I have been trying to decide what to build since I sold my pro street car, and all I get is not another project.

And don't even ask about racing.........

[stage2ROUSH]

my wife is very much into it ALL !!! and she knows her stuff!!! we used to { and still have a our 90 isuzu mintruck in the garage which i might add about 85% of the ideas on it are hers!!! ( it wayy more streetrod style than typical minitruck) any way.... she said to me a while back she wishes we could build a cuda or challenger. she loved Bobs g-force cuda, so I'm one of the lucky ones.. and , she will get in there and help clean do what ever neends to be done. and watch out she sees details ,especially paint flaws. I cant tell you how many shows we have been to and we will see a nice car, and she will pull me to the side and point out fisheye,tape lines, spiderwebs etc... and it will be a really nice car. gotta love that!!!

[Andrew McBride]

My wife likes cars, but shopping is more at the top of her list. She wants a 70 mach 1 or a 57 bel air, so at least she has somewhat of an interest.

Speaking of shirts, my buddy had a hilarious shirt a few years back. He would ride his Cruiser with a Shirt that said (on the back): "If you can read this, The bitch fell off!"

His g/f thought it was cute. Others said it was disrespectful. I just called it funny!

that shirt was really popular a few years ago when it came out at daytona bike week

in response i saw a few biker women wearing shirts that said "im the bitch that fell off!"

Dave hates it when I buy neat cars and have them towed home ... without telling him first!!
