You guys are funny. Coming from a female perspective...if you want to keep a girl, don't tell her how much total. Ignorance is bliss. But you can't get away with that if she's a gear head herself. Which in that case, there would probably be a mutual understanding. It's a jealously thing. You're spending more time and far more money on a car than her. The girl wants to be number one. And should be if you actually care about her. I kinda went through the same thing when my bf started on his Camaro. He blew the engine up 3 years ago and has been sitting ever since. I finally managed to convince him just to finance the money that he didn't have saved yet. But I wasn't too thrilled over him talking about parts and spending thousands on parts and spending so much time looking for parts constantly...but since I did the same thing a few months ago...it was more understandable. It's so much easier to have someone who understands and shares the same interest. I would be perfectly fine wanting to dump $10K into a car...considering I almost have that invested into mine now.
