I've even seen her laydown in the driveway and run the hose & clean under the car after getting caught out in the rain one time.

I like to keep the car clean and kept up but she is crazy about it lol. 9 times out of 10 she won't let me wash the car as I "don't do it right". I just shake my head and say "yes dear" and go about my business having a few beers while taking care of the motorcycles.

And as far as driving the Camaro to town or to the store? It will go to town for a cruise or dinner if there's "appropriate" parking available, going to the store is pretty much a no-go, it's been to the mall once and when in a parking lot it's about like the picture above, as far away from anyone else as possible.

WOW!!! Any tips on how to get her to that point? Are there training courses, hypnosis...WHAT CAN BE DONE???

Im glad you brothers and some sisters are on here telling your stories. I thought I was the only one!!! They and she were telling me I'm crazy. "Its just a car"

I have a keeper. She even fronts me $$ for mods. She makes the bucks. When I blew my diff she said, "Make sure you buy a new part you can't break, you really enjoy racing. Don't worry about the money."

She also liked driving my past cars with a lead foot and can make a shift. She would come home after taking out my old 4th gen SS Camaro and say something like: "Oh, hon I just surprised a Corvette!"

But she doesn't like 3 car garages or me having more than one toy car. We only have a one car garage now and the 1LE gets it. On the whole I married up.

For some reason she is afraid of the 1LE. She won't drive it.

Got her back this week from the dealership repairing the front splitter that they installed improperly. I also had the new Corsa Quad-Tip exhaust installed and my wife asked if it will be louder and I said Uhm... yea?... Whereas she asked why would you want it to be louder

ugh... well I guess either you get it or you don't get it... hahaha Chicks...

My wife is spectacular! We are two peas in a pod. We both have the same career. We both have a gun collections. We both have fast Camaros, but SHE is the one who gets onto me about be more careful. I treat my 1LE like a new born baby and she will get onto me about dragging my feet against the kick panel. She tells me," You are a bull in a china shop." But she don't complaint one but about riding in my car.

I then asked if she'd be upset if I sat a nice cold soda on her Baby Grand and she said "that's different"... I know that all women aren't like this, but is anyone else dealing with this?

My ex girlfriend slammed the passenger door and said it's just a car and then sucked her teeth , nice huh.

I probably would have come unhinged at that point...
