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.

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

My wife of 31 years still doesn't get my passion for my old Boxster. I as well have the lawn chair in the garage and a boombox!. She loves to ride in the car, especially in the mountains during Spring and Summer. She does Not like to drive it! The perfect car!! Nuff said!
