What did she say when u bought your car?

she got a sister?

 

my wife still helps me work on stuff I bring home

 

Everytime I buy something, she complains about the money I spend on cars. Then I pull out the running list of frivolous sh*t she buys, and she shuts up and leaves me alone.

I'm still waiting for her to get really mad and leave me, but it hasn't happened yet. (damn!)

 

"Why do you need two old cars"?

 

Mine said "this is your third hot rod project this year and every time some one offers you money you go right ahead and sell it, why don't you settle for a nice 2000 vw jetta?" She still with me, I don't own a Jetta and I have a 53 project rod! I guess She had to settle...

 

Mine always says... "I trust you"... she's kinda slow

She called me one day from the speed shop, asking if she could PLEASE get a new Holley Dual-feed 4 barrel for her 454... it was better than phone ***.

 

The day I got my 55 chev 210 I took pics of it with no front end,gl***,floors,trunk floor,quarters, rockers in or out well you get the picture it was a total mess and completely apart and had been for 20 years, she took 1 look at the first pic and simply said Oh Jesus. I had just sold a near perfect 68 400 firebird to build the chevy. I guess she didn't know what I meant by PROJECT

 

"GREAT, another project that can take up your time away from me and Shane (my son)." Ouch that kind of hurts now that I see it in writing.

 

My girl said nota... she just lets her man do what I need to do.

Sticks

 

Mine promised she would help me work on it. I am a year into it already and she hasn't been out in the shop working on it with my yet. But she bought me an air compressor for christmas gave me a kiss on the cheek and said maybe i will see you tomorow.

 

When I bought my 52 Ford Panel, she goes what the hell have you done.
We moved to a new house, the car wasnt done yet and I had no room or money so I reluctently sold it.
6 years later I kept mensioning how sorry I was about the loss and tried to buy it back but the new owner said no.
Then on our 10th wedding anniversery my wife bought back the car for me. She knows the guys wife.
My wife rocks.

 

Mine gave up fighting me over cars guns and motorcycles. A long time ago when we were in our 20's I told her IM buying what I want, you can pitch a fit or whatever but IM still buying what I want.
She shuts up when I throw down some nice change when I sell somthing and pay some bills etc with it.

 

My wife keeps her mouth shut for the most part. When I sell one project, I make sure she gets a hundred bucks or so to buy something not needed. Then I take the rest and throw it into the next project. I always tell her this whole hobby started out with 1 $200 car, and now I have a $**** value car. All from that one $200 investment.

Mackster, I do the exact same thing. I buy a CHEAP *** car, and bring it back from the dead to the point that it drives again. I usually start driving it, and within 45 days someone is offering me money for it. I almost always take what they offer.

One of these days I will finish a project.

 

....hmmm......smells a little like a set up.......

 

as for what my wife said...she said "happy birthday...oh...and some ***embly required!" She's such a sweatie sweetie!

 

when i ended up with my tube ch***is anglia......she came out when i was unloading it from the rollback....."i thought you were getting rid of a car....not ending up with another one...." we had watched the car run 6.0's /6 teens in the 1/8 mile the weekend before....and she had seen how the car had gotten side ways on a couple p***es.....then all i heard was how i wasn't racing it.....i told it wasn't going to be a race car......street car only.....haha she got to help unload it ....jammed her foot while helping.....then nothing but profanity....haha she didn't like that one too much.....brandon

 

my girl's father's big into cars, but before me, she dated "pretty boys", I dragged her to the englishtown swap meet, drank a couple beers walking around, and she asked me "when are you buying a car for us to take to shows" a month or two later, she was helping me unload the 49 GMC, hahaha looks like pops p***ed the car blood down after all

she's *****ed a little, but think she's almost as excited as I am to drive her to a car show for the first time; hahah actually bought her a bad*** leopard dress to pose with it and she can't shut up about how much she loves it

 

HE said... 'its about time you get your own car and then got pissed cuz I could drive it around- drove from day one I bought it- 3rd owner'.Now he gets to do most of the work. Aint life grand..




Been driving this P.O.S. (see below)79 Malibu until the Olds gets done- FUGLY looking thing but it flies!!!


Got a damn fast 350 in it.. Got from our house to Worcester MA in about 35 min the other day (usualy takes an hour)Whooo hoooo

 

Easy...I stopped telling her anything about my car stuff,and she avoided the garage like the plague...since none of her doctors wives buddies had to put up with rusty old ****,she thought she shouldn't have to,either.
My divorce has been final for 2 months as of yesterday..
As soon as I have any money again,I'll buy whatever the hell I want from now on.....my neighbors are really gonna ****ing hate me now..hehehehe

 

when i met my girlfriend i was looking at buying a chevy.when it was going in for bodywork we started dating.her dad had a 56 when she was growing up so she made me PROMISE to never get rid of the 54.seeing as how i have a HUGE tattoo of it on my back odds are i'm not planning on giving it up either i found one of the good ones..i remember having a friend at a tattoo parlor talk to my dad once and ask him if he could talk him out of one of his bikes.he said "son,if 2 ex-wives couldnt talke me out of them,what makes you think YOU can?" i think that was a pretty good answer!
creepy

 

This is a cl***ic moment ... I'd been daydreaming, no, obsessing about this car since I laid eyes on it, but had been so overwhelmed and hesitant to tell her because we were going to fix up my van and roadtrip and the only possible way I could swing the car was to sell the van. So without really thinkng about what I said or how I said it, I started in, "Babe, I'm in a real pickle ... I think I've fallen in love with another ... (insert 10-15 second pause here) ...car." When I get the guts to look her in the eyes to read her disapointment level, she has tears going down her cheeks, punches me in the arm, and between relieved sobs she says, "I don't care what you drive, as long as I'm the one in the car with you." Damn - what a reaction, and I didn't even plan that. What a lucky ***hole I can be sometimes.

 

Old GF mumbled something about me buying another old car...once she got a good look at it, she said "that thing's scary...I'm not riding in it." My new GF is always down to go cruising, hell, she gets pissed if we don't.

i don't remember exactly; it was in february of 1973 that i bought the panel truck we now know as clarence. we had been married for about a year at the time. when she filed for divorce in 1999 she said that it started downhill when i bought clarence for $75 but didn't consult with her first. took her 26 years to mention it. go figger...

 

My girl is awesome about them all. She MADE me by a really nice '28 pickup back in May - I was unsure if I wanted the thing or not, and she insisted. "You always talk about building a Model A pickup for a daily driver, here is one -so buy it".

Often we go out to dinner, and she heads to the shop as we are leaving instead of the driveway...."lets drive the hot rod"....

She went with me to Louisville toting her camera - and took about 500 pictures of cars....about 3pm Saturday I suggested we head back to the hotel and hit the pool - "but I don't think we have seen all the cars, and this is our last day here?"

She then informed me on the way home that she had decided she wanted a full-fendered '32 Roadster - lavender with white interior and white walls.

Wow.

 

She got the ring
She got the wedding
She got pregnant
We got a baby
She says get whatever car you want
I have fifteen so far..........
Pooch

 

Mine said "Great, just what we needed, another car for people to stop and try to buy everyday!" Really she is great about my projects does not care what I bring home as long as it goes in the garage out of view unless Im workin on it.

 

"Wheres the rest of it?"

 

She said, "You love that car more than you love me !"

I had to think about that for awhile.

 

When I bought the Comet it took two days and thre tow truck to get it the 200+miles home. My girlfriend laughed and said she was glad I got home safe.
THe first time she came over to see it, she crawled through the backseat opening into the trunk to unbolt the latch (trunk key missing). Any time I'm talkign about work it needs, the first thing she does is tell me to call her if I need a hand. She was right there for all the major parts of the drivetrain swap.

 

My wife and I drove 300 miles to pick up my 34 5 window body (I paid a deposit for it on the strength of some photos)When we got there it was sitting on a pallet in a farmyard surrounded by cow****, it was raining real bad and it looked a lot worse than it did in the pictures, the guy said if I didn,t want it I could have my money back as other people were intrested in it.
So there we were standing in the rain 300 miles from home ,tired cold and wet and I,m thinking any minute now she is gonna explode ,then she turned to me and said " It,s not as bad as I thought it was going to be,Surely you can sort it out."
