[4FordFamily]

Taking a break from all the broken down vehicles, temporarily here. (including mine)

Female Significant Other: i'm not going lie though, i'm am jealous that u love your truck more than me, lol
Me: Yeah that isn't the case......
Female Significant Other: well u spend more time with it then me and u show it off and not me
Me: Noooo i doon't....
Me: The truck is always in the garage, and it's transportation WHERE ARE YOU?
Female Significant Other: but it would be amazing if u were as proud of me as u are of your truck.. but your truck deserves it, it is nice
Me: True, i mean no you do too...

I imagine others of you deal with the same thing...
Why do women get jelous of something mechanical? LoL

My GF realizes the STi comes before her. She accepts it now, and buys me stuff for it

 

[cifer]

yep, I feel your pain. Finally, I told her it's because my truckd never complains. That one didn't go over too well...

 

[4FordFamily]

I told her that the whining comming from the power steering isnt as annoying as her whining.

How did you train her to buy stuff for it? lol

My gf realized that from the beginning, but she has a solution that worked. She does not care that I can spend hours at a time playing with the ex, as long as she can watch and sometimes help out. She actually wants me to teach her some things, so she can change her own oil, put the spare on when she gets a flat. I almost talked her into getting an explorer, but mine sits too high for her, but she agreed to one if I were to lower it a few inches for her . She has actually gotten into customizing cars, and is always lookin at other trucks telling me "That truck looks really neat, you should get something like that for yours". One of these days I will talk her into getting an ex, then the fun will begin cause she already talks about what can I do to it to mak it turn heads.

 

[MONMIX]

just tell her
" My truck never puts me on guilt trips "

Critial, your girl is a rare one. Hang on to her.

 

[Critical_Level2]

Critial, your girl is a rare one. Hang on to her.

She is a rare one, hopefully she ain't goin nowhere anytime soon.

 

[sk1er17]

yea my girl used to say the same thing.. one time she gave me so much crap about it i was on my way outside with a baseball bat cause i was gonna put a few nice "beauty marks" in it because i was getting tired of "promising that i love her more than the truck" and her not believing.





thank God she stopped me right before i took the first swing :smoke:

 

[sk1er17]

for the record...

yes i really was gonna beat the hell out of it if she didn't stop me.

 

[Con Seann3ry]

well...that's one way, lol

 

[CodePoet]

My fiance has said that once. But, she has said that she wants to help me out and learn. I dont' know how true that is but i hope it is lol. I've had to teach her everything though, she doesn't even know how to wash her car the right way, damn her parents didn't do anything for themselves (can you tell i kinda hate them lol).

CP, my man good times in the chat

Well my girlfriend said she would try to help me but all she can do is whine about how long it takes and then ask why i dont spend this much time with her. The only fixing i can offer HER is to get her de-voiced like breeders do dogs.

 

[spta97]

Tell your gf's that you won't trade them in for a younger model when they have too many miles on the odo

That should shut them up!

 

[stubborn1]

Its easy to talk big, but when it comes down to it - Would you rather take your Ex out for a little action on Friday night or the GF? Sometimes you gotta play both sides of the game.

Why can't you do both. Take your girl off roading with you, then take her for a ride in the back.

 

[Jefe]

My sister told me "You'll know when you find the right girl 'cause you will love her more than your truck." I responded "But that won't be 'till after she loves my truck as much as I do."

 

[CodePoet]

LOL, my fiance doesn't understand why i like to lift my trucks and offroad them...she thinks if I fart on my expo it'll roll though let alone offroad it. I get tired of that, but it's ok, I just say she doesn't have to come with me. [rant] Her damn parents have brain washed her into thinking EVERYTHING will kill you...damnit i hate them sometimes [/rant]

Well wouldn't it be nice if our women loved our trucks as much as we do. I think we need to hear from a trainer. My girlfriend informed me that next time I work on my truck she wants to help..

I can't decide if I'm scared for the wellbeing of my truck or not..

Probably not a good sign

 

[4FordFamily]

P.S. a ride in the back of my explorer is one of my favorite pasttimes.

I wasnt "talkin big". I was serious. Ive been with her for 2.5 years and wasnt gonna let my truck come between us. If thats what she needed to believe me, then thats what id do.

Plus- now that she knows that, she knows im not gonna cheat on her (this is now our second year 3 hours apart due to college).. cause logically would i have messed up my truck and be willing to throw that all away for a one night stand? Hell no.
