i guess i officially am in love?
well i told my girlfriend about how i plan on dropping about 10k on my camaro to make it run 10's, she got mad apparently and gave me the option of her or my car that has been sitting on jackstands in my driveway for a year...needless to say i informed her she can leave lol i might be a little obsessed with my car but it stays no matter what girls come and go, and that is the 2nd girl i had to break up with because they were against me spending so much money on my car i need to stop finding duds!

When my dad married my mom he said he told her he was a package deal. It was him and the car or nothing. Now they have been married for over 25 years and his corvette is still in the garage never to be sold and to be passed down to me

So did she actually leave over that or was she appalled it was such an easy decision?

TRUST ME.....
The money spent in your car will be way less than keeping a woman around. as a matter of fact, You can keep the car and get a Hooker every weekend and it still will be cheaper than a girlfriend/wife !!!

Once when I was dating my g/f (now wife) and my car wouldnt start she said to me "you should get a new car."
I replied, "When you dont want to put out my car dosent tell me to get a new girlfriend."
I laughed, she didnt.

How long have you guys been together? How old are you? Was this a really serious relationship?

I had the same problem. She told me i was spending more time and money on the car then her. Even after an expenses breakdown of the over 14k i spent in 6 years, she still wouldnt believe me. In short i leave you with what i told her before she left for good. "The car was here before you, the car will be here after you"

If dinner is expensive you probably shouldn't be spending 10k on your car and should rather rethink your finances.

and dinner itself isnt expensive its the spending 60+ a week on it that adds up to more a month than a 10k loan would

Wait, you're gonna take out a $10K loan@19yrs old to build up your car? You might want to rethink that...but it's your $$.
There are woman out there that are OK with the car hobby, some even encourage it. A good friend of mine has a wife that is encouraging him to get his Camaro done....she's perfect
