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"

Pardon the language but WHAT THE F#$@? I would be insanely furious if someone did that.


You must have a lot of patience.

The first time i cleaned my car i found a THONG/G-STRING under the passenger seat so now I'm thinking was that a result of feet on the dash.
So guys don't get carried away with this dilemma cause u never know.
I always let my Beautiful wife put her cute little smelly feet on the dash and i haven't gotten the headache crap in a long time

sounds like grounds for divorce or better yet, a justifyable homicide

:
Sounds like my wife, she called me the day she picked up her MBZ in '04 complaining that she needed to take it back and get it fixed, she had set her coffee cup on the seat and it spilled so she wanted them to clean it up under warranty as it was their fault that her cup wouldnt fit in the cupholder.

But then again, she has never asked me how much I spent on any car and doesnt bother me about what upgrades I buy so it works for me.

Yeah, that is an important balance to maintain

My boyfriend and I have the same policy: don't ask, don't tell. But it helps that we're both huge car people... he built a 911 from almost the ground up about a year ago, sold that, and now has a 350z that he twin turbo'd and a '89 BMW e30 that he restored to mint condition.

And for the record: not all blondes are that dumb, thank you very much.
