Dude, I've tried for a few years now. Originally when we first started dating I couldn't say much, she had a new 06 Vette. I at the time had my 280z, 300zx, and 06 WRX stage 1. I mean the Vette is just an awesome car. Then I got my 370z and was much happier, though still miss the AWD. In 2010 she wanted to trade her Vette and 2000 Trans AM V8 for the new camaro. I know it seems silly but honestly coming out of school (we met in med school) the Vette was hurting financially. In an effort to decrease car payments the Camaro made more sense. At the time I tried converting her to any import but the Z wasn't an option. She needs the backseat for her dog. The dog is a bit big to put in the passenger seat of the Z. But I did try a WRX, STI, EVO X GSR, Genesis coupe. The EVO was the closest winner but in the end it wasn't enough to get her away from a V8.
Right now we are debating getting a jeep wrangler or ford raptor for utility/off road/people mover/dog mover which will let her get back into a Vette at some point. I think the closest I'll get to conversion is the GTR but at this point neither of us I ready to commit that much to a car right now.
I'm just thankful she likes cars too, enjoys racing cars with me (auto-x and friday night drags) as well as will help me work on my cars without qualms about it. She's a girly girl with manicured nails but isn't afraid to chip them either.
And of course, the obligatory pic
