So her dad called, and while she was talking I slipped out to the garage to look at my car. When I popped open the hood the dogs heard the noise and barked. She hollered: Are you out there admiring your car AGAIN!? Guilty as charged.
“Daddy are you in looooove with your car?”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re always cleaning and talking about you car, I think your in looooove with it.”

my wife feels the same way about her Cobra as i do about my GT. some people say I'm lucky to have a wife that is into mustang as much as i am. i have to agree!!! I'm very lucky!!!
Hey now, women can love their car just as much LOL
I get so much grief because I "love" my car too much.
I think it is absolutetly funny that a car can do that to
a person. Oh well got to love them, they are so cool!

My wife noticed my frequent trips to the garage as well. She kept trying to reassure me it was still there. Yes, Dear...Be right back.

A car guy isn't a car guy if he doesn't LOVE his vehicle you know? I tell you, the first day I got my mustang I fell in love with it, I drove it around the WHOLE day, I had a full tank at the start of the day and it dropped to about a half a tank (a little more than a half).
But at the same time a car guy isn't a car guy if he doesn't cry when his beloved vehicle is involved in one of these three:
1.) In an accident (not caused by the driver of the beloved vehicle because he obviously doesn't care for the sake of the vehicle by driving it unsafely)
2.) Something major breaks on the motor causing it to have one of two things happen, either be junkyarded (if you have no money) or get the motor replaced (if you do have money)
3.) Or having to sell their beloved vehicle for money related reasons...
For me, I've had to go through one of these three and yes I did cry, a manly cry by the way . It would be #2, the 383 motor I had in my first car ('86 Camaro), through a rod (not because of the my driving though, I babied it like mad, and only got on it once in awhile mainly to show off in front of friends haha.) When this occured we took the motor out of the engine (because we knew we could rebuild it), and had the camaro body towed to the junkyard... As every car guy/car girl (not so much tho?) knows that when you lose something that valuable, something that you spent time with for so long (whether it be driving, tuning, fixing, cleaning, or just admiring), you don't want to let go. I cried my eyes out when the body got towed to the junkyard before the guy came to take it, I gave it my last few words and then a hug (yeah I treat my cars just as though they are humans haha), then when they towed it, I thought I couldn't stand it......
But now, since we tore the engine down and figured out it was a poorly designed rod (very cheap kind like they just found it lying in the engine factory floor and decided to use it in my engine; by the way we replaced all of the rods because none of them were even close to OEM quality), we rebuilt the motor back up and now it sits in my garage in wait of the camaro body that my uncle is saving me for when I turn 18 next year. It's not the same body that was towed to the junkyard, I called up that junkyard and the guy said they no longer have that vehicle (meaning they crushed it....)
The "new" camaro body is a '90 (decided to go with my birth year, so we have more in common haha) and I'm stoked, I can't wait (even if I now am a Mustang man, I wouldn't mind having both!)
Sorry if I jacked this thread, I just needed to get that off my chest, it's been since February since I lost my camaro and I have no car guys/girls in my area to talk to so this is the best place to do so I guess haha.

I cried sooo much in a manly way, when i blew my Mustang's engine. I Seriously had no clue of what i was gonna do, i did NOT have the know how on swapping engines. But, i did it, with some guidence. lol.

hahahaha - that is too funny!
You know, my husband called me - get ready for this... anal retentive about my car. I think he is officially jealous.
