I'm sorry.......................
I let my hubby have lots of toys. We are currently up to 5 Camaros plus 5 other fun cars. He just told me yesterday that the new motor for Yeln' SS was only going to be around 12K..............

I think it's kind of wrong for a female to enjoy such a manly hobby. We don't go getting manicures and pedicures and wax our upper lips do we? I mean, no offense to the ladies on this board more power to ya!

My soon to be wife has a v6 camaro and loves racing with me, shes changed her wheels twice and is now deciding to get a silver ta! Cant go wrong with having a girl that can work on her own car and know what shes doing.

nope...as soon as I get on it she will sit still and get real quiet,even in the middle of a sentence,until I hit like 130 or it gets a little wreckless....then she'll quietly say "ok.ok." so I'll let off.....I think she started that because one time I was rompin' on it hard down the road and she says "COP" I'm like "OH ****" I was scared,nervous,shaky,slammed on the brakes(not locked up but a hard brake) and there wasn't even no cops,so I chewed her out like "don't do that ****!! jeez you bout killed me"

That is really All I am looking for in a girl, one who not only can put up with my love for cars, but one who shares that enthusiasm.

my gf is in the market for the first thing in her price range she finds. either a 4th Gen, or Grand Prix GTP. I'm hoping she goes for the GTP so i can do a pulley. For some reason i always wanted to do that and see how much it actually improves the performance.

EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! The camaro doesn't get driven a lot and it's a rarity that she goes with me, but when she does and I romp on it I always say "hang on" first and I hear "oh great..." right before we get pinned to the seat! Even when I run through the gears in the truck with her in it I get a "you trying to kill us both?" What's the point of having lots of horsepower if you never use it?!

Then when we are in her car she tailgates, swerves off the road, pulls out in front of ppl, then yells and honks everytime someone pulls out in front of her and sees how close she can come to hitting them just to make a point ...What kinda crap is that? Dont get me started on maintenance and body damage from obliviously smashing into curbs and **** all day.
I feel your pain man! How is it my "careless driving" keeps the vehicles I drive in mint condition while her "safer" driving style pisses people off and lands the tahoe in the body shop??


I love her so much, she deserves a perfect ten in every other catagory...but definately a negative 4 in cars. I'm working on her though, maybe I can train her using shoes as treats or something?
I agree totally. My wife scores above perfect in everything and gets a "-wtf" in cars. The other day I was working on the carb in the truck and asked her to start the truck. She yelled "it won't start".....so I tell her she has to step on the clutch first and she looks at me like a monkey trying to solve an algebra problem! "It's the one on the left, dear."

I always get **** from my girlfriend for being on this "damn car site." "You are always on that damn site or talking about your car, you should just marry the fricken thing," she says. The other day we were sitting and she was looking at my car asking some questions about it along with what I do on here all the time. After telling her what it is all about she tells me that the site is actually pretty cool because there are so many people willing to help you figure out a problem you are having if you don't know whats going on. And after a little over a year of dating have gotten her from knowing nothing about cars to now wanting a Custom Yellow Camaro and putting some stage 2 racing heads on it with a cam, some headers, etc. And, I am getting a set of sub frame connectors from her for Christmas.
