Three months on, she's happy in the Triton, I'm happy in the FG X! She drove the Falcon on the weekend and came back saying how nice it is to drive, but she appreciates how I see vehicles differently to her.

I told her about a local car club I'd found out about, and she asked me if I'd sent in my membership application. No wonder I'm marrying her!

Does she get to drive your "Little Red Wagon' ?

If your wife doesn't like Cars, you have the wrong one!!!

Ex likes cars but if you got technical about something she would shut you down and say it goes brrmmm, that's all that matters to me.

Liked Commodore utes more than Falcon utes.

Wife or car?

**PridenJoy** · 24-01-2017, 04:17 PM

She likes all my cars, but loves the V8s.

Always asks if she can take one of my cars out and when she does there is always a scar on it when i get the car back. I'm slowly learning but happy wife is happy life, she knows damage=money spent so she's always on egg shells

Here's a little update to my previous post saying that my does like cars,
Our 20th wedding anniversary is coming up (march 1) and I was thinking about a quick trip to Fiji or something along those lines.
Thought I'd better ask her before booking, just in case she had other ideas,
well low and behold she'd booked corporate tickets to the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide,

I would strongly suggest you take care of her ''needs'' whilst your over there. Dress up, Champagne, dinner & dancing would be the ticket most lady's would be happy with. Sounds like a great lady, have fun!

She thinks im a F*&king idiot cake for the money i spend, but her car gets serviced at the same time(funnily she doesn't complain about that).

But she still loves me, and thats all that matters....lol

Maybe surprise her with her own V8 and then you won't have to keep buying eggs.

Back when I was 17 and just started to date who became my wife after being pretty much best friends for years. I was in a loud, slow 4 banger with a big system. She was an attention seeker. So load and slow got me the attention I seeked from her. My brother had lost his licence for an extended period not long after. Mainly to keep it going, but I used it more then that. His 79 wb ute caprice converted, body smoothed, low, efi 5l, th700... very loud, saw much more attention, I got much more attention from her. When she got her p's I let her take the ute for a spin. And spin she did. Mid corner you don't give a v8 ute the same throttle input as a 1.8 from 89. She refused to drive it again. Won't let me get any fun cars either. Her bad experience in a good car has effected me for years.

My partner loves the fact I can fix her car, and mine- saved us thousands of dollars and lots of hours where our cars would have been away getting fixed.
And she helps alot... especially when I have lost something!
