Sounds more like a wife then a friend!

This one betty I know whines the whole time she's in my car. The seats are too low..The suspension is too stiff...Its too cold to lower the top...raise the top so it doesn't mess up my hair...etc...etc...
She can't stand that I park far away in a parking lot...
and NEVER cleans her own car.
To make matters worse she worships those luxury SUV's

and yes obviously we fight a great deal.

as someone very wise once said "girls only get away with being difficult if they are hot".
But as someone else who is even wiser once said
"beauty fades but stupid is forever"

I hate having passengers in my car. I think the solution is to remove the passenger seat and air bags and just tell people that your car is a 1 seater

I had my seat removed to clean under it and my parents came outside and said "wow that's great don't put the seat back in, its a perfect doggie transporter".

The feet on the dashboard thing always annoys me. What happens if you hit something?
Still, that is something you can deal with.

Someone who would bother to complain about being given a free ride in a Porsche is clearly someone you will be hearing A LOT more complaining from about everything else later. Ditch her. Life is way too short to be with a disagreeable woman. A good woman will respect your passion for cars and driving even if it not her thing. It took me many years to find the right girl, but as soon as I did, I married her.

I agree. The last 2 girls I was with thought my obsession of cars was stupid.

I don't need to find a girl who likes cars, but at least one who will listen to me babble about them.

I'm married to a woman who has no respect for cars, and yes she does drive the Boxster sometimes. I usually just pray it comes home in one piece and she isn't talking on the cell phone and drinking a 40 ounce coke while driving.


Anyhow, an example of her lack of respect / knowledge. When I came home a couple of months ago I noticed she changed out the light bulbs in our garage. Since the Boxster is 'hibernating' in the third stall I was curious as to how she changed the bulb. Her response "I just stood on the hood of the car"

Hi,

Totally agree. Mrs. MNBoxster was not at all into cars when we got together 10 yrs. ago. Still, she respected my passion so much, that on my 1st birthday we spent together, she bought me a BoomBox and a Lawnchair! Why you're thinking? Because she could then come out to the garage, play some music and read a book while I was wrenching under the cars - just so we could spend time together.

Over the years, she has given me several Gift Certificates to such things as Bondurant's Driving School, The Indy Experience (the drive experience, not the ride-a-long), Jim Russell Racing School, Skip Baber Racing School, and numerous others, a Craftsman Pro Tool Cabinet, Air Compressor, last year she gave me a 3-spoke sport steering wheel for the Boxster.

Slowly, but surely, over time, she became a Car Chick, even did her 1st Auto-X last yr. in the 240Z and loved it!

So, if the Girl you wanna say Forever to isn't perfect (to you) in every way, keep looking. Don't settle for anything less. It may take some time, but stick with it. The rewards are indescribable...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
