what does your girlfriend/wife think about your car?

DevJ · 10-28-2010, 11:41 AM

She likes it. She thinks it is a little too loud haha. She told me not to trade it in on a gt-r....ahh.

EHbavarian · 10-28-2010, 04:34 PM

my ex loved it....... bumper to bumper..... = i miss my ex and the car.... sold it a couple of weeks ago....

GTiceman · 10-28-2010, 04:39 PM

my girlfriend pulled out the Bentley manual to help me find information when I was working on something

My girl loves my car, especially the angel eyes
My modding has even inspired her to modify her prius

"I hate to say 'I told you so', but... I told you that you would regret not getting an M3."

Not much I can say to refute that.

LOL sucks that's she right but what can you do

Mine is now trying to get out of me how much I've spent "modding" (haven't even done anything serious)...no chance in hell...when I told her how much changing the aluminum trim was she calculated it to be 2.5 sun dresses, 1.5 night dresses, makeup idk idk idk

At least she doesn't calculate it in terms of LV bags and CL shoes....

I stopped modding before I got started. The problems started early and never really stopped enough for me to feel confident to add power-adders.... It really sucks because I chose the 335 over the M3 purely on modding potential. It was so nice, after owning all those previous BMW's, to finally have a car with cheap $/HP mods....

yea but may end up costing a lot in the long run...fwiw I'm not running anything engine related other than an itg foam filter

My ex-g/f liked my white 335i e90 but when she saw black 328 E90 she said it looked like civic from behind

My gf is a purse addict

JayKay335i · 11-04-2010, 02:01 AM

She thinks its sexy. And she loves the exhaust.

shiggy · 11-05-2010, 03:30 PM

not sure if my wife knows what I drive....she's too busy in the kitchen making me a sandwich!

texasmojo · 11-05-2010, 06:14 PM

At first my wife did not know what to think about it. Weird shape. After the wheels and one test drive she fell in love. I hardly let her drive it though cus she has a bad rep for curbing rims. She hated my evo with a Passion. Maybe cus of all the money put into it.

ZZZZ · 11-09-2010, 02:16 PM

We met because of our bimmers.

Needless to say, hers was more expensive, nicer, and newer than mine. But she liked mine more due to the mods, and color. (She wasn't a fan of her Orient Blue + Tan interior). Mine is black on black. She has since downsized to a Z4, and I'm in the process of upgrading to a 5er.

What she doesn't like about my car is... no A/C, and that I never wash it or clean it, or care for it.

What she does like about either car is when something needs to be done, she does the work and I tell her what to do. She has now done her own brake pads, shock mounts, valve cover gasket, alternator replacement, complete sunroof cartridge replacement, etc. Nothing major, but she enjoys doing the work regardless. She just needs some majorly padded gloves as she likes to smack her hands on metal parts when using tools and cut herself. Maybe she's a closet emo.

Desert_Fox · 11-20-2010, 12:50 PM

My girlfriend likes the color of my car, and that its a convertible. She does not like the way I drive, however. She said if we get married one day, she'll help me lease a new M3 if I let her get any animal she wants (She likes animals more than people)

lopealle · 11-20-2010, 11:05 PM

My wife like the e90 but loves the mustang.

thesag3 · 02-13-2011, 10:46 PM

I've had mixed experiences with this, from..

"Hey.. what happened to the other two doors?!"
(I used to drive a camry in the same color)

"This is a pretty red.. what kinda car is it?"

"Ow! What poked me?"
(seatbelt bar, not me)

Clearly, I don't know where to meet women.

Litos · 02-14-2011, 01:34 PM

my wife likes the Bimmer, but she's in love with the raw power, sound and roominess of the SRT8.

she says "i get wet when i turn the car on and it goes raaawwrrr".

oh, she hates the steering on the Bimmer
