Title: Whinging girlfriends
Post by: Gtiain on July 22, 2010, 12:04:01 pm
Does anybody else get tons of Grief whenever you buy anything or do anything to your car??! My girlfriends favorite one is "I'm sure you love that car more than me!"

LOL the secret is to either date a girl that loves them too, or just bring them around to your way of thinking!

I'm trying my best! The only thing she likes at the minute are the heated seats! I suppose that's a start!

Haha, I can see why this would annoy you blokes... Luckily both me and my boyf love cars so we understand each other perfectly! Although he does say that I love Luko (the GTI) more than him, haha  :grin:

But I guess it must work both ways... girls that have boyfs with no interest in cars... My dad couldn't care less about them and doesn't understand why I bother spending so much money on mine...  :confused:

My bf is forever doing/ changing bits and bobs on his car, I just let him get on with it rather than whinge... after all, I'm probably just as bad!  :laugh:

I think he gets a bit jealous sometimes when I spend too much 'quality time' with my car... I love it though. :love:

I expect that most of the 'whinging' is actually just banter or teasing, mixed in with a bit of "please remind me that you love me" - We all want to feel loved. If the whinging gets serious and there's no smiles or grins, then the partner is someone who is insecure and needs to solve that issue - Either that or you really don't give enough attention to your partner anyway - You have to work at most relationships (which is why I'm not so good at them because I can't be arsed if things don't progress naturally of their own accord).

Mrs Beddie is as good as gold, shes definitely a keeper!  :signLOL:

Loves the car just as much as i do, buys me mods for birthdays and christmas and never bats an eye at what i spend on it, helps out at all the Dub shows we go to and is usually found manning the UK-Mkivs BBQ,
She's also not too shabby with the launch control too and does the odd lap of the 'Ring now and again although i will admit to being terrified...  :scared:

Knew you'd do that Robin!

I have an ex girlfriend who made a similar "you love the car more than you love me!" comment. I replied back that I'd known the car longer than I'd known her... that didn't go down too well.


Eventually it was a "me or the car" moment. I stuck with the car.

Mrs A on the GTI after it was remapped.

Mrs A "Your car is scary fast"

Me "just dont drive it past 3000 revs"

Mrs A "Pah - Wheres the fun in that! Does that mean its faster than an R32 now?"

Me "Oh yes!"
