SupraAyf Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 (edited) I was going to sell the car to make some room in the garage for my up and coming motorbike collection and the wifey said no!! She has got it in to her head that I am now the guardian of this Top Secret Supra and that it's my responsibility to look after it for future generations to come. It seems that my wife is more passionate about cars than me. I'm going to have to build an extension for the bikes though. Question: What are your partners views of your car - do they love them , hate them or simply tolerate them because they are part of you?

Jamesy Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 My wife isn't overly keen with night upon night spent on the car, nor the stupid amount of cash, but she's very supportive and does like a blast in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai 20V Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 My wife is very supportive of me having the Supra, she is pretty into cars, for a girl that is.. Today she helped me fit my sandwich plate, oil pressure and temp gauge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absence makes the heart grow fonder so I dare say your marriage will last forever (or as long as you keep the Supe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true - she is a diamond though, with or without the Supra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 All 3 to be honest. Most of the time she absolutely hates the car given the amount of money and time I spend on it yet spend little time actually in it. She sees it as a waste, and she is mostly correct to be honest. However, she does enjoy going out for a run in it and she does describe it as stunning so there is that flip side. Also when I was almost made redundant I spoke about selling up but she was having none of it. She said that after all the time and money spent on that car that it would be the last thing to go and it would only be if we really needed to get rid.

SupraAyf Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Only got my car last week so the gf hasn't seen much of it, but she likes it because 'its shiney' lol Is it a short or long term relationship you have been in mate. If it's the first of the types then you will need to start looking for a new chick soon. It normally takes a woman 37.4 'full relationship days' before she realises what she has got herself involved in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraAyf Posted September 8, 2011 Author Share Posted September 8, 2011 Mine wont let me sell mine either, she loves it too much The translation to that Rich is: She doesn't want you to sell your car for a 10k price tag when you've just spent 30k over the past few years. There's a common theme developing here; me thinks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey. Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 My mrs hates my supra more than anything on earth, mainly due to me' spending my savings on the single build and not on a deposit for a house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 My girlfriend likes it. As above, she doesn't like the weekends she wastes watching tv 'cause I got stuff I need want to do to it. The speed scared her at first but she doesn't mind it so much now. Going over 120 leptons is "too much" though. She also said she'll never let me sell it.

It normally takes a woman 37.4 'full relationship days' before she realises what she has got herself involved in. I quite like how tkddav3 summed things up with the 'package deal' bit, I'll maybe have to use that after the 37.4 days of minimal questioning expire! But it's been nearly a year we've been together now and she was quite supportive of my last car. If I keep the petrol and general maintenance bills to myself, will all be okay?

hackin_n_bashin Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Mines good, although 0.8bar, "woo, this is fun", 1.2bar "do tha again and I'll flaten you" She bloody would too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazB Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 My mrs hates my car, she doesn't want to go in it, she worries when i'm out in it but she wouldn't want me to sell it! I know this for a fact because we are looking at buying another property and my car also needs a new clutch!! The 2k clutch money would pay for some work on the new house, but a car with no clutch isn't much use 'as she pointed out to me'. The main reason we have been looking for a new property is space, at the moment we spend hours each week suffling vehicles around. At the new place i've got loads of room even for the motorhome and trailer to be parked together ready for race weekends, along with a nice double garage for the supra to sleep in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
