My wife knows that my car is loud and low, and she hates both of those things. She did compliment it's looks once though, so I'm counting that as a win. She's definitely not a car person though. A story that I like to tell is, one of my previous vehicles was a silver, 99 Accord sedan. We were out to eat one day and she had to go back to my car to get something, so I just handed her my keys. She comes back several minutes later complaining about how she had a difficult time finding my car. When we leave, I ask her which car she thought was mine and she points at a silver Cadillac Deville. I just shook my head...

The only cars that she is good at recognizing are Mustangs. She really likes those. Of course, when I showed up with a 2004 Cobra, she was not very pleased.

I've learned to just not explain the car mods to her. She just does not get it.

My wife of 30+ years wouldn't be able to pick my car out of a crowded parking lot. She knows it's white. That's about it. OTOH, she has a dressage horse that cost more than my Z. I wouldn't be able to pick that horse out of a pasture of 10 horses, so....we all have our interests.

My wife is a car girl. She knows my car and we will switch from time to time and I'll drive hers. We fight a lot in the garage over who gets to DIY... :icon17:

Those red emblems would look sweet on a white car...

I'm gonna take out the passenger seat and always have the keys in my pocket. So if she wants to ride with me she will have to lay down on the floor or trunk, and if she wants to drive the car she will have to get it out of my pants. Nah just joking :o

I don't let anyone drive my cars though unless I trust their ability to drive or don't care about the car

I was like, "Um.... why? Are you driving it to work?" (I work from home)

She said, "yes I want to see why wanted this car so much".

(can't think of a good excuse for her not to take it)

So I said, "well let me turn it around and get the seat jacked up so you can see"

As she left she smiled menacingly and said, "I'll TRY not to wreak it"

She rolled to the end of the driveway and while I stood there sweating. WIDE OPEN THROTTLE FIRST GEAR ALL THE WAY TO REDLINE!!! I hear the motor wind back down and wait for the crash sound. But nothing...

So I go inside and call her, "Did you figure out how to take it out of manual?" :rofl2:

She said "Yep, I got it" as I hear the car screaming down the road in the background.

wow... :eekdance:
