So....how well do they know your car. Not well enough.

You have unrealistic expectations. Your car will never mean to your wife what it does to you.

Years ago I had a moustache and one morning decided to shave it off. My wife (now ex- for other reasons) asked me if I had gotten a haircut. She knew there was something different but couldn't figure out what it was. It was the next day before she figured it out.

I swapped out my wheels, added some cf to the car, and unless I point it out, my gf doesn't notice it or care that much.

She likes the car tho esp if I am passing someone. Basically if I do floor it, she puts her hands on her thighs and says "oooo"

Wifey knows my car all too well. Especially my old Supercharged one. She picked up the sound diff between a HFC and a resonator, clutch chatter, clutch feel between my new Nismo and old car, shifter feel differences, even the smallest squeals. She has now learned where a CBE stops and headers / cats begin. If I make the smallest of mods, she'll notice lol. She even knows that the RRP I bought is a fuel pump to stop fuel starve (we had to walk one day after the gym). I can't get past her.

And she pays the bills. Saurons eye, I swear. But she's bad @SS and let's me do cool $hit to my car lol.

Not sure my husband notices anything about mine. Feel like most of the time he would rather it just be poof. Gone. :icon17:

I know, right?!

Soon, I hope.

Hubby knows all of the vendors since I'm always looking at parts during our TV time. As far as if he would notice anything new, probably. He doesn't care for my Z as much as I'd like him to.

Lol, my daughter is the one who spills the beans. She knows what I've been up to for some reason. Maybe because she sees the UPS guy drop off big brown boxes.

My neighbors usually make comments about all the boxes on my door step. The way our houses are staggered in the cul de sac, their kitchen window overlooks my front porch! lol

My wife usually gets bummed when she can't go to meets with me. She owns a business and usually gets stuck working. I guess we are strange! :ugh2:

She still thinks the wing is specifically designed for flight! :p

My wife doesn't care what I do to my car and she really doesn't care what I have put into it, it's not her thing. She is VERY understanding and that's due to the fact we are not planning on having kids.

Tigger 05-30-2014 02:47 PM

Ex-gf had it out on the autox track. She loved driving it and wasn't scared to push it. A rare one indeed. Maybe now I'll get stuck with a normal chick? ut-oh.

b15 05-30-2014 04:36 PM

Not well, but I like it that way. My wife definitely noticed the exhaust and she noticed I lowered it. Then I put on spacers and she asked if I got new wheels :icon17:

Same here. Kids are in the picture for 2015 though...
