How many of us just take for granted that your wife or girlfriend understand the beauty of a killer ride next to an attractive lady. Well be forewarned 'cause tonight I got busted cold outa' right field. Who knew my love for form and function would lead to being shut down? Needless to say my screen saver is much different now. This incident leads me to ask what else is lurking around the corner? Or who else has been busted? Just goes to show that after 13 years she's still a great mystery in every sense of the word. Tim
Dude you got busted with a screen saver? HAHA Now hurry and run out to the garage and take down all the snap on calenders and girly pictures... just when you thought you had them figured out. WHAMMO! I get the same thing when my cell phone rings and I dont answer it Now show that s/saver.....
Funny this topic came up. I was watching "Christine" today. Most women dig my car until they realize that they are actually in compe***ion with it. My last ex lost to a set of 58 Edsel Bermuda tail lights. They give me a lot fewer headaches
I've been married to the same lady for 30 years this coming May. Every once and a while she still throws a zinnger at me. My bet is its about that time of the month, least that seems to be when I get blasted most often. Found out years ago that "its OK to look as long as you don't touch" does not apply to pictures or vidio, or anything else THEY have to look at. And if she should ask if you saw some girl nearly naked, your best response is "No, where is she?" Some more words of wisdom, When you screw up and she is pissed, "yes dear", "you are right dear", "I won't do it again", and "I really love you dear" are the ONLY safe things to say. Try to act like you really mean it. Argueing with a pissed off wife is a no win situtation. Often things can be worked out much better after a cool off time has p***ed, but Never go to bed mad at each other. Course my wife is pretty understanding, she likes cars, and pretty well tolerates all the dumb **** I do. There is usually only two reasons she goes off the deep end, one is when I really screw up, the other, well, we covered that. I know when I really screwup. Gene
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- There's only TWO ways to figure out wimmin AND, KNOWBODY KNOW EITHER OF THEM
theres too many of them out there to worry if you are ticking one or two off. just my opinion though. you dont have a hair on your *** if you dont put your screen saver back up.
"Whacha lookin' at Honey?.....Why you always looking at that car ****?....Why don't you ever look at me?......You like those damn cars better than you like me.........." And so on................Story of my life. But, she keeps me fed, gives me what I need, so I cant complain................
I have been married to mine for 12 years. She is understanding about my car habit , she goes to cruise ins ,car shows etc and listens to me babble about them and put up with my time working on my 51. She has busted me a few times checking a chic out somewhere etc.. ,she has laughed it off most of the time , but has put me through the ringer on a few others , just depends on timing ,don't think I figured anything out though, don't know! You just have to respect her feelings about it and not put it on your screen saver[he he !] . Just when you think you know her well she throws a wrench into it , women are an evolving creature, constant change, good and bad!
Just when I start looking again I read something like this and I remember how it used to be. Like I would go to a swap meet or what ever, than the questions start , what time are you going to be home?, where did you get the money? You tell her you will be home around 5 and at 4 the phone starts ringing where are you? Oh well sometimes I miss that !!!
Keep them confussed. Lie to them when you should be telling the truth and tell the truth when you should br lieing. When caught checking out a babe just say "That's a fine looking woman, but she's not nearly as good as you are dear". I can even get away with calling mine a *****, although I explained to her that ***** stood for B beautiful, I intelligent, T talented, C charmiing, and H is for horney as hell. And always remember if all else fails, diamonds work. In all seriuosness, you chose her as your mate, your partner, treat her as one. I've beeen married to mine for over 37 years now (happilyfor 5, that ain't bad is it?).
Guess I can't complain. Jenny is the coolest person on the planet. And, she's also 'Mommy' to the most beautiful person on the planet.....Frankie.

When argueing with a woman, weather you are right or wrong absoluley no relivance to the situation what so ever. Walter
My reply to any derisive comments about pinup girls has always been the same: "The day I wake up and have no interest in them, I'll probably no longer have any interest in you either, so hope that I continue to like them!"
I said that to my wife one day and she just said "what?". We've been married 17 years (and may not be seeing 18). When we were first together she said "I don't care if you want to look at a ******* magazine, just don't leave it out where my daughter can see it". Now she watches Dr. Phil and thinks that if a man is looking at **** online he's cheating on his wife. Ah, how times have changed.
What he said. You're supposed to be married, not dead. Otherwise why would they invent ******? It's not ...just so that 90 year old single guys can enjoy a few minutes of hot dry old-people ***. Okay, now I grossed myself out... But uh yeah, I've been messing with cars since I was a little kid playing with toys, and I've had a real one since I was 12. Girls came the next year, no puns intended. So far I'm having way more luck with the cars. So if the girl can't handle the cars, she doesn't need to stay with me. By the way, what was the guy thinking when he coined the phrase "there's plenty of fish in the sea" ?? Maybe it's true, but if the girl reminds me of that she's getting thrown back ASAP. (hey, now everyone should be yakking up breakfast. My job here is done...)
Ok, my wife and I have been married 4 years with a 5 month old son, and she is the most amazing person I have ever known, BUT.... I take a stand when it comes to noticing a nice woman or my infatuation with cars and bikes. I am a man, and yes, probably very faulted, but I would never cheat or embar*** her, speak badly of her, I always pay bills and then some, and am always there for her, our family, and her extended family. I have needs and interests, I am not going to hide those because some fat jack*** on TV says 'It's not about you'. Mankind (men and women) have always been selfish since the dawn of time, we are just learning to not be selfish in the last 40 years or so, but there is a point that when it is not our nature. I love my wife, but the car infatuation and noticing hot chicks will always be there whether I try to hide it or not. I don't embar*** her or put it in her face, but it won't change and it will always be there whether she likes it or not. How can a wife/girlfriend expect that yelling at us is going to change what we are. They have to realize that they are only telling us to hide it from them really (yes, I have had this conversation with my wife, and I have to leave it at that, whether she likes it or not, it is who/what I am). Believe me, I tried quite a few times to change after a guilt trip lecture from my wife, but I am either personally not capable or it is not in the male gender's ability to turn a completely blind eye. In my opinion, it may sound like a cop out, but I firmly believe it is just the way we are built fellas.... And yes... I am the Dr. Phil version for men. Private sessions are either $150/hr. or I will accept vintage racing parts as well
Guess I got it pretty good. Wife works, makes plenty of money, likes hot rods, and doesn't complain about **** (or much else for that matter).
Well I'll give you guys a females point of view, car female that is. HUGE difference between having a photo of a "hot" chick standing next to your car that was taken at some car show/event in your hard drive and having same photo as your screen saver. Why o why would you want to be constantly reminded of what you can't/don't have. Why wouldn't you want a photo of your wife/girlfriend or family standing by your hot rod? That should be what you desire to look at each day. Making her feel like she's number one goes along way in a successful relationship. Why make her jeleous of your car? What you look at in privacy doesn't really matter. I personally wouldn't care to look at some other chick standing/laying on Rudys roadstar every time I walk by the computer. It's a matter of respect. and in the same token I'm sure Rudy doesn't want to see photos of hot dudes standing by Big Olds. Did you guys know that 70% of men view internet **** on a monthly bases?
I keep a picture of Frankie ridin' shotgun in the Beater on the wall right next to my computer here at work. My favorite picture of all time. Wouldn't trad it for anything.
This is what I have learned, it is simple to do, but dont get caught at the "wrong time". Take a calendar Watch her moods When mood = maximum capacity (dont **** with me or Satan will appear) Mark a dot on a calendar Do this over a 3 month period and watch the pattern develop Plan your activities around this - especially what you say. "THE BEST DEFENSE IS A GOOD OFFENCE"
Like the fella said; don't give anybody the p***word......... Fact is; Every woman has a plan to dominate her man. She has a plan to change him, to fit her definition of what her ideal man is. That never ends. If she has never shown any tendency to dominate, then it's time to check the $ amount on the insurance policy and have the chemist test random samples of the meat loaf for ****nic.
