well i am too attached to my car and i like to learn how to work on cars myself because i usually fix my friends cars, and 10k because i plan on going faster than 10's eventually so i am trying to do fully adjustable suspension, lightweight parts, and i gotta do rod bolts because i heard 98's had weak rod bolts, and i might as well do heads and cam while the motor is out, and i want a sunoco hood and paint which is included in the 10k

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.

I've had to slowly work on my wife so she understands the car hobby. She is supportive but never fails to bring me back to earth when I get a little out of hand and little or large brown boxes show up at our door. I've started shipping to my office

Same here. She was never really bitter about it, she just didn't understand it too much.
