Why dont women understand?

First of all I need to explain I dont mean ALL women, just 99.9% of them, I was getting as new car to restore, I have already restored a Holden Torana LX hatchback with a small block 302, i was just about to purchase a sexy sexy Volvo P1800 (if you dont know what it is then dont mock me for wanting a Volvo). Anyway to get to the point as I was just about to purchase it my wife steps in and declines the sale, pushing me away and insisting that I could never possibly want that rusting bucket of SH*T and that it didnt look very shiny (OMFG!). she then said I was wasting my time and if I wanted a volvo she would help me buy a 95 model she saw in the paper, not even a 10 minuite lecture on why I would want to buy a classic car would curve her mind, and rather than causing a big arse problem for myself I repeated the phrase that I will most likely utter for the rest of my living life.... "yes dear"

Re: Why dont women understand?

For this reason, I am not so conserned with women. I am my own man.

You should put your foot down...

Well, my ex coveted a Ferrari 250GT California Spyder, so I can't exactly comment on being in your situation.

In your case, though, it comes down to whose money is being spent. If it's your money that you set aside for the car, then by all means sneak it around her, sock the car away at a bud's place, and build that Volvo up like Roger Moore's in The Saint.

However, if it's family fundage that's being spent. Wifey might have the right idea not to let a basket case into the garage.

Women!

When my husband and I started dating in high school, he drove a '72 Dodge Challenger and I drove a '66 Ford Mustang coupe. 15 years later we are still together, he still has the Challenger, I now have a Plymouth Duster.

Bottom line for all the unmarried men--if she's driving a classic car, snap her up! Because she will understand, unlike 99.9% of all other women!

Get your girl involved with the hobby. She's likely disinterested because she knows nothing about it.
If she thought she could drive thet P1800, she would be more willing.

Re: Why dont women understand?

Mine knows very little about cars but still supports me fully. Check my sig; she drives the Tercel and loves it. Its what she picked out. I have all the other money pits in that list and I'm thinking about a motorcycle. She just knows that its my hobby. I'm also quick to point out that she has two computers, three digital cameras, three film cameras, one digital video camera, a palm pilot and an iPod.

That usually shuts her up. She is thinking about a CRV now so I will most likely sell my BMW 325 so we can get her a good one. Anybody want one? Pristine condition convertible????

Next time you go to a car show, look for the girls (without boyfriends or husbands standing by, lol...) who are rooting through the parts in the swap meet section and having a good old time. You'll find a winner there!

hmm i called her my wife for some reasons, ok, subconcious got the better of me, she is my 'girlfriend' not my wife, sorry for that mind trip, and we have recently broke up cause she was getting on my nerves non-stop. So im open again, mopargirl, good idea, ill have to keep my eye open there for a fun lovin girl, not a typical stressy 'woman'

oh and it doesnt matter about the volvo, ill always have room for one but until then i have started on my uncles 1982 toyota corona and i am inheriting early his Vauxhall Viva, one classy lass with a 1000cc engine and 4 on the floor manual, RWD once again from one of the first Holden Torana's so parts will be easily found.

im so lucky im not married yet!!! hahaha. Getting married is like getting another mother or something. So i buy my toys now then get married, then i say, "woman you married me with these so accept me for me, i aint selling them!"

I personally think if you have some free time, and you work hard and bring the money home, you should be able to have a hobby of your choice. Men just seem to give in to easy these days... put it down!!
