Girls Vs Cars

[wangtastic]

Is it just my bad luck or do all your girlfriends/partners get p****d off with you spending time or money on anyone/anything else.

I ask because I just got some larvllyyy alloy wheels for cheap off of a mate, and instead of "oh wow cool!" I got:

"wtf did you buy those for? you already had alloy's didn't you?!"

"yes dear, but these are better"

"how?!"

"they are bigger and will give the car a much better stance/look"

"it's only going to encourage you to drive faster, it's a waste of money"

yet the fact that she just spent £70 on 3 different iPad cases is completely justifiable?

This isn't the first time it's happened either, when I had my exhaust done I was down my friend's workshop for like 3/4 hours and she went mental, saying I wasn't spending enough time with her

The thing is, my car is in desperate need of a service and I planned to do it ASAP but now she's kicking off saying that it'll take "all day", I explained without it I run the risk of major damage and then how would we be able to do anything?

arghhhhh!

It's the way GF's and wives are programmed

You should always have the last word...............even if it's only "yes dear"

She sounds pretty normal to me a bit like most women , thats why our ancestors developed the Scolds bridle :lol2: "The scold's bridle was a medieval torture device to bring unruly women back into line. It was a helmet shaped iron cage which had a hinged collar complete with a lock. This fitted very tightly over the offending woman's head. It had eye holes and a slit for the mouth, as well as a strip of iron which projected backwards and held down the tongue.

In extreme cases, the bridle was fitted with iron spikes which then cut into the woman's mouth and tongue.

The bridle was attached to a long chain which would be held by the local jailer who would parade the woman through the streets as a warning to other women to stop nagging ! The women was then tied to a post and left to be laughed and jeered at.

Whilst this may seem cruel today, in medieval times the woman was regarded as the property and 'chattel' of the husband and so had no lawful right to nag or scold and so the punishment was seen as justifiable"

I wonder if Andy Gray will come in and comment?

[Daveyonthemove]

I must be one of the lucky ones..

Got a damn sexy younger girlfriend who has a passion for cars and motorbikes, and would think nothing of buying some alloys for her car.

Sadly she has a Head Gasket issue with her Escort GTI so its off the road, but i know she is looking at things to buy for it once she gets that head gasket sorted out.

Girls and cars eh....

When you're 17, you want both... Then you realise that with one comes the other...

Then you get a bit older and the girl goes but the car stays...

Then you meet 'the one' and the car takes a back seat (after the girl has been there so to speak..)

Then kids come along and the car has to take even more of a back seat

.... Fast forward a few years....

Kids have gone, mortgage is gone, sometimes even the girl is gone....

BUT.....

You have finally got the car of your dreams

Patience my friends, it WILL come

[acetip]

With age comes responsibility and sensibility and any other "ility's" I can think of ;)

That's why at the soon to be age of 60 I have settled into a steady routine with my wife

We now tootle round sedately in our little car enjoying life's little pleasures like

last year, or

the year before, I could also say

but it would be cheating as I loaned my friend the car..........I was a few cars back in his 350Z ;).

I'm definitely slowing down this year though........ish, thought we would go on a little touring holiday to celebrate my Birthday CLICKY

Oh btw..............................What the car wants the car gets.....end of ;)
