Ur lucky my wife tells me to grow up and cracks up on how much i spend on my car.

[Morat]

If it wasn't for the GF I'd have MS, a turbo, a respray and be running on fully synth oilchanges every 3k. I'd also be living in the car and eating half a can of baked beans a week. Sometimes they're right... just don't admit it too often ;)

[Cloggy Saint]

My wife doesn't bitch about what i spend on the car, and i keep quiet over how much she spends at the hairdressers!

[lefty325i]

Don't mind if its thousands every month but she says im not allowed my alpina reps and alpina steering wheel...(gettin them anyway)

[H35-IAN]

only female id take a order off is my mum and thats because she deserves serious respect! but the average woman is a selfish bastard nowadays... fuk that id spend it all on me....

[Bob_S]

I'm with Ian, car or the bird? the car screw the bird can find another one

[dobbie82]

I only give my other half grief for wasting money though indecision, like spending £400+ on getting this 318i through its MOT and giving it a full service, then saying he would take £350 for it!!

He wants to respray it or certainly do the arches, ive said i am happy to spend th money if I can keep it, but no doubt he will sell it for £500 a few months after a £1500 respray!

[DRIFTBOY]

My girlfriend resents my 335 because I'm spending too much time working on it! (and she wants me to keep the twin turbo RX7 - but it's got to go to pay for the BMW!).

She hates the BMW and says "It can't give you hugs and kisses, like me!".

I said "Yeah, but you haven't got 250bhp darling" and I got thumped!

[dazleeds]

haa haa

i dnt get any of this grief

she used to moan but then she realised i just spent more if she did

she has now got the e30bug and so far this week has bought a new set of ATS cup alloys/car is in garage now having clutch done

she,s also just forked 150 on new speakers for her Is and is planning to spend more all the time

so she cant moan at me anymore ever

[miniblob]

Everyone moans that i spend & waste too much money - and they're all right!!!!! Got some kind of twitch that keeps forcing my wallet out onto the counter

Girlfriend doesn't mind me wasting money as such, but whinges that i prefer cars to her and i don't spend enough time with her, blah, blah!!!!

I don't listen to anyone though - do what i like really....... so that's why they call me 'lawless' at work!!!

[fuzzy]

shed rather i spent my cash on my car than other 'interests' .she thinks im mad to spend thousands on an old car but doesnt complain

[appletree]

its not just about the money, i get greif for spending to much time working/playing about with my car! instead of spending time with her!

[stuartgallafant]

Girlfriend doesn't mind me wasting money as such, but whinges that i prefer cars to her and i don't spend enough time with her, blah, blah!!!

i get this! "you love your car more than me blah, blah, bullshit"

and i just say, "no babe, not more, just in a different way!!!!"

WHACK!!! ouch...

she also complains about how much i spend, coz she'd rather i spent my hard-earned on "together-things"... WTF!!!

i never tell her how much i earn from my private jobs either, coz i know she'll wanna go out fot dinner at THE most expensive restaurant!!

but the other day, i got to get my own back, coz she spent £150 in TopShop in half an hour! HALF AN HOUR!!!! £150.... love, what is going on.....

[Mahmood]

I used to get grief but now whatever I spend on the car she spends on herself.

When I bought my last Sport, she didn't spend 000s like I did, but she got herself a £500 handbag!

When I bought the Cab. I can't remember what she treated herself to but Tesco Visa rang to tell me about an irregular spending pattern on my card and over the phone went through all the shops she'd been to and I had to confirm it was OK.

The girlfriend hates the car.... She aboultley hates it.

She keeps on at me to sell it and buy an A4 or put a deposite down on a place...

Way i look at it, the minute she decides she wants to suck dick i might consider it

urggh i hate girls like this.... hence why my ex is now my ex,, with the occasional EHUM...

30-50£ on a nice together thing like a meal.... thats gonna get shitted out a few hours later....

loads of phone calls,, cos she wants to talk... bollox, its all money...

i solved most of the problem by getting one of my 3 accounts,, withdrawing all the way till limit,,, 1k overdraft... putting it into another acocunt and showing her my balance at the cash point.... sorry love....

to summarise.

money spent on girls = wasted.. they are ungrateful and will forget everyhting uve ever done for them as soon as you slip up the once...

money spent on car = a time of happiness and joy which you can feel, hear, enjoy everytime u sit and/or drive or just admire the car.

the girl can, and will get moody
whereas the car will never cause as much anguish

How many of you have objections from ur wives, girlfriends on how much u spend on ur e30?

None since I sacked her

I woman doesnt want a man to be happy when she isnt there, it makes some women feel insecure, it shows the man can be happy without them.

The women who dont want guys spending money on their cars is because they want the money spent on them. Get out earn more and stop sponging

[elf]

me and my missus have our own buissnesses
so she spends hers i spend mine.
morgage paid kids dont go without.And i dont go out every night
pissing it up the wall.
besides spent 20k on my car inlast five years and spent seven more
this year.
i,l never get that back and its only going for my enjoy ment.
my missus always wondering what ideas i,l come up with
next. good as gold she is you all get to meet her who going to
gaydon.

thats why the boxers are there its a wiping rag

[E30BeemerLad]

whenever there is spending, even on essential maintenance there are sighs and eyes rolling lol

get more pissing and moaning for time spent on car forums, although that has got less since she acknowledged the level of help available, after she found oversteer in the soarer and twatted a sign post

generally though, cars n women don't mix, always a degree of compromise somewhere

but i could have done worse, she wants a beetle now or some other old shed to restore

still sticking a supra lump in an e30 though, biatch!

[less2303]

Found the ideal solution, got rid of her!!

Now I can have a complete broken sport in the kitchen, spread between a set of shelves I put up especially, and the kitchen table.

So what you're really saying there is.......

Women.... If you couldn't f**k them, you wouldn't have anything to do with them!!!
