Just FYI I am in the middle of a painful SuperRam install...

Does anyone else have this problem?

Text messages:

"I don't want to be mad at you but it seems like all you care about is the corvette"

"Why don't you take a break from working on your car and talk to me?"


What kind of answers should I supply to her. lol

Tell her you're the kind of guy who has time for his vette and time to post on the internet -- asking how to avoid her. You just don't have time to talk to her though!

Does she go shopping alot? Does she have a purse or shoe collection? My wife considers my car in the same light and I'm not off blowing money at a strip club so she's cool with the vette and my truck that I work on. Plus I mention how much money I'm saving, "Can you imagine a mechanic's fees with all the work I'm having to put into it. I'm saving us money here." My wife certainly has respect for mechanics and the fees they charge.

Ding ding! we have a winner

Seriously though, if she's this possesive during something as simple as the Miniram install(tongue planted firmly in cheek), how is she going to be down the road when you are doing a complete rebuild or putting in a new rear or transmission. You need a woman who'll be right there handing you the wrenches, instead of trying to wrench you away!!

One of my coworkers is a 36 y/o gal who drives a very nice 85 coupe. She is a "car gal". They are out there, just have to be in the right place at the fright time.
It may be time to cut your losses as she will get worse as time goes by.
Ask me how I know. I have been married for 42 years to a lovely lady who thinks a car is just a means of transportation. She thinks my Corvette hobby is stupid and refuses to even ride in any of them.
Luckily she and I get along in most other aspects of life.

O.K.,,,That means my answer was correct. Once you tell her what I posted, she'll leave. You'll be free to find the girl of your dreams. You know...a NASCAR pit girl!

BTW...the younger the girl, the needier they are! (Same with guys though.)

When I logged onto the Corvette forum tonight I didn't realize there was going to be a quiz. All kidding aside though...

I always stop listening right at this point. I'm not really sure what comes after that as I'm usually thinking of something much more important and interesting by this time.

*edit* I'm also divorced. Just thought I'd share that as well.

Any of the below should suffice.....

1. You missed a spot on the kitchen floor. It ain't gonna clean itself.
2. We'll talk when you're done shaving it.
3. Because it's not polite for you to talk with your mouth full.
4. Because I don't want to interrupt you getting my dinner ready.
5. Why? It'll just be the same crap your sister tells me.
6. Talk? Did you run out of things to iron?

Those should get you started.

Frizzlefrak, I'm pretty sure I like you. This is still gonna be funny (and a great list of appropriate responses) when I come back to read it again tomorrow. I salute you, sir.

Tell her to get over to help you. Or later console you.
