Ahaha well played sir. She is a good girl though and won't deter him from making more passes. My wife is the same way and she actually grew up around F-birds her whole life so I am good to go on that end!

Your life is whatever you make it. If it's the right choice for the two of them congrats. My folks have been married over 30 yrs and her folks over 25. I am not naive to the stuff life throws at you, that is why marriage may be the biggest turning point in your life. A lot of good can be had or a lot of bad.

Like they say both of you have to marry for the right reasons. A lot of people these days don't, that and a lot of people are weak to temptation. No matter how well you know somebody the only person you really know is yourself, trust is earned and relationships should be built on it, it dictates the maturity of your relationship.

If it's right, go for it, if you have more doubts than those associated with cold feet don't. It's the simplest yet most complex decision you can make.

Married for 10 years as of May 15th. Has it been easy, no, but in the end, we rely on each other and know that at the end of the day love each other and know we need to continually work on making it work.

Too many people say, we've fallen out of love, and give up. No ****, it takes work to work through things. You treat that person with respect and respect will be given in return.

hahaha, that track day was just depressing. i want to wait till septecmber, and go toward the evening, abuse the cold air a little plus my 4th gear synchros are yelling at me after last weekend

i havent been back to look at the thread in a couple days, im sitting at my computer just laughing at everyones respones to eachother and to me. There are some real great words of encouragment here, and some great words warning as well. We have been dating a little over a year, but we dont plan on getting married for another 2 years or so. we wanted a long engagement, and enjoy being young together. She also loves fast cars, and though she likes mustangs more than f-bodies, she went to G13 with me and had a blast. She just keeps telling me she wants her mustang to be as fast as my camaro... i tell her its not possible lol.

Did you get my email buddy? I can't get the vids off sammys camcorder because I need a different usb adapter and I am working almost non stop so I haven't had time to get the adapter. Plus sammy cut off the vid that had our best times at the end so you can't see the times!

Tell her to stop being gay. She needs to understand that doing her homework isn't near as important as you being on this forum. Silly women.

Thank you sir! Oh and I got a ticket for my exhaust the other night. This is the law that I got hit with:

http://law.justia.com/virginia/codes...46.2-1049.html

Voted gay because when the cop pulled me over I was actually cruising under the speed limit so he was just looking for someone to ticket. That's the way to serve and protect fella because people were passing me at 60mph in a 50mph zone. I will pay it, but it is a silly law and he just wanted to pick on me. Chances are he has never seen a car like mine so who is he to say what a stock exhaust should look like or even sound like on a rare sports car!? Oh well, it's only $30 so whatever.

yea VA laws suck. they literally write you tickets for not having a stock exhaust, even if its quiet. if they see aftermarket pipes, they can ticket you for it, plain retarded.

Don't do it.
Once the ring goes on the finger everything changes. You get used to it, then the wedding comes along and everything changes again.

The 6 years we were dating was great. The 1.5 year engagement was ok, but once the wedding came along I started to think what did I get myself into?
