I was given the choice, the car or the GF... Car looks great!
Seriously though, considering I've spent enough money on my car to buy a half decent property, I can understand why she was upset. My response was, if it's my money, I'll do what I want with it.
She started to accept it once she worked out there was no changing me. She still doesn't like it but knows there is nothing she can do about it.
Wanted: Hot chick who likes cars and is willing to put up with me. Photos a must! Only hotties need apply.
