what to do when asked what I care about more than my car

[MyO4Rawdur]

So I was presented with a situation in which I should have lied. My girlfriend asked me today what mea s more to me her or my car and sadly enough I just told her the car. She kind of looked like she just farted in front of a large crowd of people because her face dropped. Have any of you dealt with this in a better way than me? I need some advice here to redeem myself. I tried the "my car will always be here" line but that made it even worse. Thanks in advance haha im waiting for her to get done work while plotting my next few words carefully.

Dude! On Valentines Day??? Really???:shake::shake::shake:

:dunno: Guess you don't really like her.........

[MOTOWN]

UMMMM yeah young buck.......you should have said her! (with fingers crossed) Your a young man, with a Marauder, enjoy the single life! lol

[MyO4Rawdur]

:dunno: Guess you don't really like her.........

Well I always told myself that I couldnt lie unless it was a severely important reason that I did and so I didnt. She means ... a lot ish to me but not more than my car of course haha

And motown youd be surprised how many females dont like my car because it "looks like it should be in a funeral procession" haha I get that so often so I think an exhaust upgrade is in the works once my financial standpoint is a little better.

Seriously, don't give up looking, there are plenty of females out there that enjoy the car and everything that goes with it. My ex wife felt that I cared more about the car than her... She must've been right, the car is still here, but she's not.

And I've found someone that loves the car as well!:banana2:

[MOTOWN]

My mother tells my father the same thing! and they have been married 50 years!

[slickster]

The car can't get mad at you

[Gryphonzus]

But sometimes they sure can be tempermental!:mad2:

You young stud have alot to learn. I do not like fibing but there is times when you need to.

[lji372]

don't ask me, i flew to florida well yesterday (2/14/13) with my son to check out my new ride and my wife is back in mi.

all i can say is next time posed with a question, answer it with a question, and don't stop till she gets pissed and leaves the room. Then later you can tell her nice way to work out our problems, just leaving the room shows me how much you care about our relationship.

hope it helps. if not well.....what doom said:lol:

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Next time just say you don't want to lie to her and walk away :D

[MMARAUDER]

I saw once on here someone said only 11,052 of these cars were made. There are a million women out there lol she'll get over it. If not the car will still be there.

[L.Mark]

I made the comment "The car will be here after your gone..." when asked why I just don't sell My '79 Mark V...The question should not have been asked in the first place. Nor an ultimatum thrown out involving any car. Unless to sell it you're gonna save a live or something equally important. Next time.... white lie it...

[MyO4Rawdur]

Well I went to pick her up from work... she was less than pleased with me still but she was beginning yo realize how strange it was that she was jealous of a car. Long story short I explained to her that my car means to me what it does because of how it came to be my car. Explained the rarity of it and how the mileage plays a huge factor in all of that.. she said "cool story" when I finished and I glared at her until she fake laughed. Apparently it was a test to see if I actually would tell her the truth because she knew the car means more to me and since ive had my car longer than I even know her it was fairly obvious. She now wants to help me detail the car and possibly attend an event. I made her aware of carlisle and she appears to be all for it so I may be joining you guys out there this year. Spoke with steve babcock about him signing my car which he said he would be honored to do. I can not wait until june !

[Mebot]

now you have to turn the tables on her & say "baby, don't you think my car is cool?"

& if she replies anything else besides "yes it is", yell "wrong answer!" and go make her sleep on the couch

Ask your soon to be ex if the car makes you look fat.

[lji372]

man wish I was going. you just loaded the pot, and its waiting to be stirred.

[justbob]

My family trumps the hooptie any day of the week. I would crush the car and laugh before ever wanting to deal with the cancer scare my wife dealt with five years ago again. 20 years together back then, almost lost her, just like that.

You can pick up another MM any day of the week on the cheap.

Well a Marauder doesn't get mad at you when you stuff the trunk, so that's one thing

In all seriousness a car can always be replaced, do can a woman

But when you find the woman who captures your heart, the car doesn't mean a hill of beans

I'd venture to day since your response was the car, this isn't the woman for you, because when you truly love soneone, the car becomes exactly what it is

Metal with tires that you enjoy while the woman becomes a part of your life

Besides, a real woman beats a pound of the fist and lube any day of the week

You can stare lovingly at the MM and it will not leave you.

Sad state of affiars when a car comes between a guy and his girl.

How can you obess over the car when your not willing to put any miles on it? What do grow "old" together? Yeah good luck with that.

Yes. When you meet "the one," she will trump everything. She must know she isn't "the one" or she wouldn't be asking questions like that

Or even try to sell it......

[jerrym3]

The car doesn't put on weight as it ages. (In fact, as it rusts, it actually loses pounds.)

You don't get much of a trade in value with either alternative, and they both get harder and harder to start as they get older.

But, you can take your girlfriend/wife out in the winter and not worry about corrosion

(I had a lot of additional comments, but I figured I'd better stop while I'm ahead.)

Haha I was waiting for you in here. I thought id hear from you sooner. She wont get old and nasty in 10 years sitting in the garage. The girl sits in the garage and she will most definitely get old. The more miles I put on the girl means less I need to put on my marauder. Having the girl around keeps the car value higher than if I drive it hahaha shes possibly "one of the great ones" for you fellow italians but shes got a lot to prove considering shes as irish as they come. Bringing her home to mom might rock the boat.

I love my car and dont want to sell, dont have to sell it actually, so im now at the point where I have to pretend my car doesnt mean more to me. She wants me to get rid of it but I told her that as long as I can afford 93 octane the car will be around.

Haha you guys are going to make her want to leave if she comes with me to carlisle haha shes not so much a marauder fan which kind of sucks but she likes mustangs so it will be a good day minus the razzing ill be getting. She gives me isht about my car all the time so im learning to get used to it and just say " yeaaa......" whenever it comes up. She did however give me a valentines day card in which she signed it "your other girl" haha when I questioned the "other" part she said " lady mercury comes first, I know."

This thread would be hilarious if it weren't so sad.

No one can tell/advise you on matters of the heart. It really is a personal thing, that being said remember "if the wife is not happy no one is happy" :)

Either way show at Carlise and we will convert her.

Nah, next time, just lie.

Falls into the same category as "does this dress make me look fat?"

In those instances, it's not a real lie; more like self-preservation... ;)

That's the beauty of it, works in all these situations when you don't have a twix on hand :)

Pragmatism is a lost art Rex.... :beer: The truth as you so accurately explained, is that folks that practice this are much happier in their relationships, than those who don't.... Still though, one has to choose one's battles;).

Go back to her and take her hand, look her in the eyes and say "I like my car, but I love you."

I went and bought her a jumbo sized card from cvs that kind of hit that same exact note in other words but I wrote in the first line instead. It started off something like distractions will always be there but ill always love you or something like that and I put my marauder will always be my first love but doesnt mean I love it more than you and she got all red and started cheesing. We arent exactly a normal couple though so I guess its better that I tortured her with it for a bit.
Got myself some brownie .. or pink.. points for that one so I guess she will be back to saying I should be in a funeral procession soon enough. She doesnt like the car because it looks like im a drug dealer with the winows and rims but I told her thats the way it was meant to be and she just still doesnt agree. She disliles the color also and I told her that silver birch is the only way to go :P.

My marauder is in a security monitored storage facility 24/7 so if she can get in there and damage my car ill just accept it then call my uncle and tell him I need some paint asap! Good reason to get my spoiler and s55 treatment.

Im kissing up to her still though because this dog house has plenty of room left inside. Waiting for her outside her house while she gets ready for work then driving her to work. Soooo I decided to fill you guys in on my not so good progress. Ill keep you posted on ny failures as they occur.

Make up sex in the Marauder, get the best of both, or a threesome if you will

Fact their are approx 4 women for ever 1 man on the earth. Their are approx 6500 marauders left in the world. Which is more rare ? You could always find a new girl friend, but on the other hand if you got lucky and got a really good one be care full of what you say.

Well didnt you just hit the nail on the head haha problem that ive come across is that if you dont crack a window you end up with the condensation on the seats which leaves marks plus if ones knees sit in one spot on the seat it causes creases. I learned that in my first marauder and wont make that same mistake this time.

She gave me a surprised today before I dropped her off at work which was more than pleasant so I believe she liked the effot ive been putting in to make up for it. Now I must get a new daily driver so I can take the attention off of the marauder.

Best answer: "If you truely love me you would not ask me to choose..."

Like being asked to choose which of your children you love more. In those circumsatances the question is unanswerable & therefore should not be asked.

So shes jealous? Sounds about right considering you probably wash and wax your car fairly often for hours ata time, clean the wheels pretty often, modify it, maintain it, and well you buy it an expensive meal every time you go to the gas station... id say she has reason.

She liked the car before I did any mods to it. Hated the first tune I had, and it all went downhill from there. Calls my Eaton swap a "stupidcharger".... :alone:

On the bright side, I guess I never have to worry about her driving and it and maybe getting into a wreck. :dunno:

Stupidcharger ?!?! She might a stupidmistake hahaha Im shocked she doesnt like the higher performance. Lucky she doesnt want to drive it though, my female asks to drive it all the time and I hit her with the "my insurance only covers me to drive this car" line.

There are more men than women as of 2012. Prolly cuz China eliminated many of the women and they are the largest population.

As of 2012, the global sex ratio is approximately 1.01 males to 1 female.

There were 155.6 million females in the United States in 2009. The number of males was 151.4 million. At age 85 and older, there were more than twice as many women as men.

So if old ladies are your thang, go for it.
