Hehe, yeah she's a cool girl... no she doesn't have a sister though...

she's really really cool. A couple of weeks ago when all the new RSX R pictures where coming out, I sent her all the reviews etc etc. She read them and said, "I want one". then I posed the question to her... ok, say the limit of the ring is $5k. Would you rather put that towards the part of the down pay for the car for you or a ring. she thought about it and goes...'will I get a ring eventually?', I said ofcourse, she said, 'the car'.

hehe

My wife is what you might call a "fiscal conservative". She hates how much I spent, she thinks it should have been silver, finds it uncomfortable and noisey, and thinks my driving is scary. Other than that she loves it

She has her car and I have mine. I'm not sure if she's just still pissed that I bought it without telling her first or not. She says she likes driving it but not being a passenger. I've been a passenger so I understand that.

A girl that is not in a hurry to get married and loves cars. That's a beautiful thing (a tear running down the side of my face...).

Well my g/f loves racing (wants to enter a driving school), so don't think there is a problem there. She likes the car and does'nt mind the occasional hike from the parking lot to the store. Of course she drives a '83 Camaro Z28... Hmm.. maybe that's why I hooked up with her. Been trying to get her to have a go in the stook, but I think she is too scared in case she wrecks it. Guess she thinks that I would never forgive her. I told her, that's what insurance is for. We will see.....

I remember my gf hate about cars. That is only thing I talk about other than computers. Yes, I am a track junky and a computer geek.

One year ago, I sign up my gf and me for a driving school. After driving school, she traded in her Audi A4 for a Subaru 2.5RS. Now, she doesn't stop talking about when I get to drive her car for AutoX. or teach her how to drive on the track with 2.5RS.

I don't think there is anyone on the planet can resist andrenalin rush.

Just sign her/him up for a track day. I promise anyone will like it.

My wife stresses because I spend too much time and money on my car and on the board. Hopefully one day I'll make mo' money than her and do something nice for her.

I don't have any problems with my girlfriend and spending money on the S2K. The only occasional problem I have with my girlfriend is that she complains once in a while about her hair getting messed up in the convertible. Is hat a good enough reason to get another girlfriend????

Oh did I mention that my cat likes the stook. She sit's up on the dash when I take her to the vet or to my parents house when I have to go out of town!! I think im the only one who has a cat that actually enjoys the stook as much as I do
