Who the hell even listens to women?!? 
I do what I want when it comes to hobbies and stuff and my girlfriend deals with it. Mind you, we live together and have a very good relationship, but when it comes to cars and things like that I do what I want...

man, i had a girlfriend..... HAD.... that didnt like fast cars at all, and back then i only had my 94 camaro with the 3.4 5spd. When i got my 98Z, she said it looked ugly, it was loud, and too fast. She said all this when i brought it to her place to show her, and i had 2 friends in the back seat at the time. Needless to say, that was seriously the last time i saw/called/talked to her. I actually felt a lot worse when i totalled my Z than when we broke up.... just a lil food for thought.

Just Get the Damn Car.. If You want it, get it. If she doesn't like it, oh well. It's not like your gonna have trouble getting another girlfriend.

I'm in agreement with whoever said they were amazed to hear that it was an "immature punk" car from someone driving a Civic.
Hell... especially if you're under 25 and have a WS6 you have to be pretty mature, because unless you're a spoiled brat, there's no way you can afford the insurance without some budgeting.
I put cars before all else, which is why I'm still single. My cars spend enough of my money, and at least they don't complain and bitch.
Hopefully I'll have a new girl soon. An 02 NBM WS6 that is - gotta go make an offer later this week.

The thing is is my gf has been bitching
nonstop ever since I told her about it. I mean saying stuff like "TA's look like a big bird's beak sticking out" and they are for "immature punks". "They do worse on gas than a truck". Tons of stuff! She drive a brand new civic (which in my town you see more civics with rice mufflers driven by punks than TA's period not mentioning WS6's)
I am 24 have 2 more years of mechanical engineering school left, at least,
and buying this car DOES NOT put me in a financial bind at all mind you.
I will be getting rid of my GTP with 97,000 on it for the TA so the question is;
I know opinions may be biased on the site towards this but everything aside
(1) Am I being irrational? I have wanted a TA ever since I restored a 78 with my dad when I was in HS.
(2) Is the TA with a TR 224 cam going to kill me on gas vs the GTP which does around 220-22 in town and 26 or so on HWY

buy the car or not, that girl needs to go. I am serious. I've seen too much of this and never ends well for the guy. Ditch her now and thank me later. Plenty of good (or bad, your preference) women out there who dig fast and loud cars (and respect their man's needs).
When my wife saw the yellow Z at the dealer's lot, she went "We are taking this car home today whatever it takes". That's what I'm talking about!

Then again, I've pretty much had a GF since I've had the car, and haven't cruised much with it.

You do not need advice on whether or not to buy a certain car, my friend. What you need to do is to grow a pair.
You're not even married & she's got you twised into knots. 
Dump the chick & get the car.

dont dump her. dont let something like this get in between you two. Its just a car. You can always get another one. Relationships are a 2 way street here. Its all about compromise, so give the girl a chance. If shes really serious about you not getting the car, then dont get it. Dont do things that will make waves in a relationship, its always gonna turn out bad. So just do what she says, and dont get the car. Then maybe go down to the Scion dealership and get one of those TCs. They are sporty and they look pretty nice IMHO. Later...
haha, im just kidding dude. Seriously, we cant make the decision for you, but i think you should definately get that car. Youll feel like youre a part of a team. When other Fbodys drive by you, youll usually get a nod or a wave or a rev. Its awesome. Just get the car already. Other guys on here have had their gfs/wives nag at them and it turned out that they really liked the car. Get it, see what happens. If she turns out liking it, then shes definately a keeper cuz this will be like one more thing you guys have in common. If she doesnt like it, then it wasnt meant to be anyway, since you are into Fbodys and she is apparently not.
