alot of times i hear stories about guys and their cars and how their GF/wife hates the car.

not the case with my gf. she loves to go the track with me, she fills out my tech card lol while i change the rear tires. she also numbers my slips and compares times to find my best runs.

she also makes fun of ricer honda kids with me. and she also knows whats going on in drag racing. like she can tell when i launch horribly and make a bad pass even before i finish the pass, and knows what my car is capable of and knows what makes a fast car.

she also has helped me put my t5 in one time.

i take her for a ride when i add new parts, shes my dyno away from the dyno. she tells me when its running good or bad.

My wife knows more about Mustangs than most of my friends and mustang enthusiasts. In fact, she insisted that I buy her one of her own! She's the reason my '68 is restored. It was a plain, white, running-on-7-cylinders-beater when we got married but she was crazy about it, even though she had no exposure to Mustangs or classic cars before we met.
 
I teach my g/f the differences between all the years of Mustangs. When we see one i have her guess what year it is. She's getting better at it.

When she first saw my car she didnt like it and thought the fox-bodies were "ugly-ish". But she actually likes it alot now and she wants to fix up a 1st generation Mustang!
 
Mw wife (who probably could not have picked a mustang out of a line-up when I met her) cried for 2 days when we sold our 66 :(

I STILL get the occasional yearning for the '67 I sold back in '91 (I think it was '91...)


I love both my 5.0s (yes, I love my '04 V6 too) and I think I love Darkwriter77's Notch more than he does. :D
