Tough Crowd
I contacted a friend and invited her for a drive into some of the twisty parts of east San Diego County. Fifteen minutes into the drive she takes her shoes off and plants her bare feet on the dash, asking “do you mind if I put my feet on your dash?” Well I’ve never understood the fascination for putting one’s feet on a cars dashboard, but the perceived damage has already been done so I reply “not if your feet are clean” whereupon she removes her extremities from the dashboard after first protesting that her feet are indeed clean.
I’m driving responsibly and smoothly. Another ten minutes pass and she says “I suffer motion sickness…not in boats but in cars.” I slow down…we are in a car after all and now, small children on skateboards are flying by while old ladies in walkers streak past. The effect of motion sickness is something I’m not prepared to deal with. We arrive at our destination with gastric juices intact at a nice rustic restaurant in the back country and she says “Couldn’t we have simply taken the freeway to get here?” Tough Crowd |
Find a new friend. Or at a minimum don't get serious about this one. If there is one thing I have learned in life it's this:
Life is to short to associate with people who don't share your passions or at a minimum don't care that their your's. |
I just hope this isn't your girl friend or something.
|
Bah!! you should have tossed her ass out! :)
|
I would only permit feet on dash with a short skirt.....

If she was flexible enough to put her feet on the dash, you can bet she's got some nice things going on :) |
...Depends if she has nice feet. ;)

You are dating Bebe LE STRANGE
The only one I ever permitted feet on the dash was my infant daughter. Where is the red ejection button when you need one? Get rid of her.
|
one question remains . . . . . . . .
Did she take a cab back home? :D |
I remember a girlfriend of mine putting her feet on the dash and her head on the back seat :D
Those were the good old days :p |
At least she didn't ralph :barf: in your car.
I had a first date with someone about 6 yrs ago. She must have been nervous because she had a couple of margaritas at dinner and then several hard drinks when we went dancing later. She layed down and passed out in the booth. The waitress came by and wanted to know if we needed any shots. I pointed to my slumbering date and said I didn't think so. When she woke up, she wanted me to take her home - I thought that was a good idea. She lived 5 mi from where we were. My car at that time was a new MR2 Spyder which has a very stiff suspension. As I helped her into my car, I was debating - if I drive fast I get her home quicker, but all the jostling could induce her to feed the tree in my new car. It was a nice summer night, so I had the windows down to get her some fresh air. All the way back to her place I prayed vigorously that she wouldn't puke. Got her home safely, left her at her door, and didn't even lie about calling her again. Keep this story in mind if you ever want to take your friend out again. |
Hi,
My only Girl Pukes story was with my High School sweetheart. We went to a kegger and she was drinking Pop Wine - Boones Farm, all night long. Got severely plastered. Drove her home about 2:30am, and while trying to prop her up against the door jamb and unlock her Front Door at the same time, her Father suddenly opened the door and she just let loose all over :barf:him - :eek: I treaded pretty lightly around him for several weeks after that, but he liked me, and in the end it was all good. But, at least she didn't put her feet on my dash. The headliner? Well, that's another story... ;) Happy Motoring!... Jim'99 |
Jim thats too funny that she puked all over her dad
|
That is hilarious.
|
That really sucks, you would have had more fun by yourself. She's a high-maintenance chick and unless she is Aria Giovanni's twin sister, or possibly Nadine Velazquez's, then you need to lose her phone number.

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 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". :rolleyes: |
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. :cheers: |

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" :eek: |

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 |

Pardon the language but WHAT THE F#$@? I would be insanely furious if someone did that. You must have a lot of patience. |

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!

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. :D :D 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 :) |

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. |

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. |
