I have been with my wife for almost 26 years....so i think im doing something right. I dont give my wife rules....she just gets it.

Winner winner, chicken dinner.....and yes, you can eat it in my car!

You make it sound so easy..i just remember the year 1990...feb...that makes it 25 years this year. I was 20 she was just out of high school going to college. Our second date she spilled red nail polish that had opened up in her purse onto the seat of my newish 1989 z/24. The seat was a kind of velour....she took 2 solid hours getting that stuff out of the seat.. I even told her not to worry about it. I knew she was a keeper then. Plus shes smarter then me which is a plus.

I've corrected my g/f several times - closing the door with the glass, rubbing at dust/pollen on the paint with her fingers, leaning on the car...she just rolls with it. She's a good sport.

I leased mine and still treat it like I bought it. My wife loves to drive it and the only real rule besides slamming the door is to back it in the driveway when you get home.

I rarely drive her car (a pppprrrrius) because it's a shit hole. She couldn't keep a clean car if she wanted to.

I love nothing more than on a hot summer day, than to sit in the driver's side with the door proped open eating a Dairy Queen blizzard, taking in the sun. I'd rather make memories in my car than have my car a memory.

I am lucky enough that my gf hates my Camaro after the installation of motor mounts, long tubes and a camshaft hahaha.
My strategy was to have rules and make it uncomfortable enough for her just to stay away

I have had similar rules in since June of 09 for Pumpkin........................................... ...BTW Colleen says the sam thing about me.

when you work hard to get a Gorgeous piece of machinery and take pride in modifying it to your taste its Way more than "Just A Car". If you work on your Camaro yourself a part of you becomes part of the car. You leave your blood, sweat, and tears on your Camaro. But to each his/her own.

exactly!

This is my Camaro. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My Camaro Is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My Camaro,without me, is useless. Without my Camaro, I am useless. I must race my Camaro true. I must strike cleanly so my enemy does not strike me.
