Or am I the only one ?

This guy at least has the guts to be honest. While I agree that no one...man or woman....should give their significant other ultimatums such as this, I also know that any man worth his salt would not respond to such a thread with his "holier than thou" chauvanistic thoughts. I'm actually ashamed of myself for coming into this thread. I'm tired of seeing these stupid threads OBVIOUSLY created just to stir sh** up.

Nah nah nah nah......nah nah nah nah......hey hey hey......GOODBYE! If she's demanding that you get rid of the Camaro now, what's next. It will never end. Wouldn't hurt to talk to her about it, but if she's ready to split over not letting her drive your car, that's probably a wrap.

I would consider some serious thoughts on staying with her. No relationship should be put into ultimatums. The reason she puts an ultimatum is because you wont let her drive the car? WTF? If my GF had a brand new Camaro and said I couldn't drive it I wouldnt care, she paid the big bucks for it that's her choice. Now if we were married and it came out of both of our pockets, well thats another story. She brings you lunch and does all these sweet things but then gets so angry over the fact you wont let her drive your car to the point she wants to break up... Uh I IS CONFUSED.

Oh well GL with your situation, thats just how I feel.

And yeah I gotta about it or I'll be and with a little of tacked on...

Firefighter friend of mine bragged for three years about his wife being in Law School, he was footing the bill, and how he would be set when she graduated...She sat for the bar and passed it the first time... then decided to be a stay at home mom.... OMG did we ride him about that... He was still pissed when I retired about five years later...

However, women are confusing, this is how my story went:

First met - (2004) - (me) - I've always wanted a Camaro
(her) - You will get one some day
Dating - (2006) - (me) - Look at this concept of a new Camaro - she seemed interested, but she is hard core Dodge
Married - (May 2008) - (me) - Pre-orders are soon, I can't wait!
(her) - Awesome babe, you deserve it
Married - (Oct 2008) - (me) - I pre-ordered the car, not sure when I will get it
(her) - Cool, you're going to let me drive it right
(me) - Sure
Married - (May 2009) - (me) - Car will arrive in June, I can't wait!
(her) - It's coming in already?
(me) - Yep, they say by the end of June
(her) - You're going to be a walking har**n aren't you
(me) - Probably

Married - (June 2009) - got call to pick up car
(me call wife) - Can you get out of work so we can pick up my car
(her) - It's in?
(me) - Yes, and I'd like to beat rush hour
(her) - Fine, I can get out in 30 minutes
(me) - You don't sound happy
(her) - How do you even have the money for it
(me) - I worked two years to pay off credit cards for a reason
(her) - Right, and what about when I want to quit work cause of school
(me) - When the time comes we can handle it
(her) - I doubt that, see you in a half hour
(arrive at dealer, car pulled up)
(her) - I thought you were getting orange
(me) - It is
(her) - It's red!
(me) - It is most definitely not red
(her) - It's an ugly color
(me) - Is it your car?
(her) - No and I wouldn't get one either
(me) - Okay, well it's mine and I like it
(her) - Didn't talk the rest of the day

Married (amazingly) - present - (her) I still think you should have waited to get the car
(me) Why, it is one of the first ones and know we can have something to do at the race track togeather
(her) It could have waited, you and your stupid car
(me) I'm got in Pinks All Out
(her) k
(me) I beat out 12000 people for 470 spots
(her) oh, that's good
(me) you don't sound excited
(her) why should I be
(me) fine you can't come

Married ( still amazing ) - present time - she's still not talking to me


Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread, but my point is, she swings from being excited and proud of me to hating me for getting my "stupid" car. She has said at one time or another that I have to choose - typically when I am washing it.

Anyway - if it were a girlfriend, yea, I'd probably choose the car. Since I am married and I love my wife, I am not going to divorce her over my car, but that car is staying and not going away unless it is over my dead body.

Good news - I am still typing so still alive

She also hates that I park it in the garage and don't let her have the garage, but that is another story.

In the end - I think you did the right thing man, don't want to marry someone who is saying her or the car - too controlling/self centered.

LOVE this..lmao...love it

[CloudXTC]

my gf knows she cant drive my car...
in fact shes scared to drive it because i would go mental if anything happened to it...
not like hit or anything... just really angry and im good with words...

she does like riding tho... i think she just hates driving period... lol

[gold5000000]

i think the answer is clear, dump that girl, find another, and enjoy the rest of your life. End of story. Let us know how it goes

Wait a minute.....you got into Pinks All Out?? Seriously?? Awesome bro!! Good luck!!

Here is my 2 cents, you put out $40K plus on one for you, pamper the same way that creates an equal, I put over $70K into a new vehicle for my girl and no questions asked, everyone is happy.

Man up

If she's in med school send her my way, I'll let her drive my Camaro all day.

It's just a car. What's the worst that can happen, she wrecks it, you get a new one. There are plenty of women driving Camaros right here on the boards, they seem to be handling them just fine.
Hell, I let my 75 year old, 4'10" grandmother drive mine. My uncle had an SS back in '69 that he used to let her drive. So when she asked I tossed her the keys, the smile on her face when she stepped on the go pedal was priceless. Something I'll never forget.

This is why I stay single and stay away from relationships. Tired of games, don't need drama, especially don't need someone telling me what I can and cannot do!

I must repond to what you are saying. It is a control issue, period. My wife doesn't drive my Camaro, she won't even ride in it. On the other hand, she made it clear from the day that I met her that I would never drive her car. I could have given her the ULTIMATUM too, or the "you love your car more than me". Instead, I buy her cars for her now and she still will not let me drive them. This is fine with me because it would only be a problem if she gave me an ultimatum. Ultimatums are for bossy, controlling a-holes of either sex. If one can not have a relationship where you each have your interests in common and you each have your own interests that you do without each other, your relationship is doomed. I take my SS to the drag strip, the wife thinks that I am abusing it, she stays home, I go with my friends. No problem. I was not going to join her ceramics class and she isn't going to the strip. So what, we have been married for 23 years. She knew what I was like and I knew what she was like before we got married so there were no supprises and no ultimatums.
