    if it is his money what does it matter? unless he spends it on his car and then borrows it from you. that sucks. i dont have a lot of money therefore i dont have alot done to my car. ill attest that it is hard seeing all these tight ass cars with all this cool ish on them. you just gotta realize you cant buy champange with beer money.

    p.s. my girl gives me shit every time i buy something. every single time

    Right now to me my first love is Music, my second is cars
    if i find a girl she will have to come to accept that i will spend my money to see my fav bands and mods on my car whether she likes it or not

    she will love me for me not what i spend my money on

    which from what ive seen most (not all) girls want all your money spent on them

    i think that if you understand why he likes it so much, then you can appreciate his hobby more. i'm sure you have one or have had one that really accentuates your life. that's what cars are for him.

    i didnt know a damn thing about cars until about a year and a half ago. i started because i was dating a car fanatic. he wouldnt let anyone else drive it, touch it... he modded it pretty much weekly because he had the money to, he washed it ALL the time... i thought he was obsessed. and he was. i took it in stride that it was his love, and i even joked about it. then i got to the place you are, i thought that he loved his car more than me. its a really hard place to be in. but then you have to try to put yourself in his shoes, and also into perspective. at that point, i started taking interest in it. because quite honestly he was an awesome guy with a lot to give, and that was proven to me by the fact that he had a hobby that he was so dedicated to. plus the longer we were together, the more he gave me, sort of like his relationship with his car. it sounds strange, but i wasnt jealous of ANY girl in his life... i was jealous of his car. down the road, i learned more and more, asked him questions, and helped him understand the reasons i didnt think a car was so special... and all of a sudden, that same car i was jealous with became my baby as well. i knew about every mod that was already on her, knew what it did, knew why it was on there. and now, i've helped mod my new baby as well as many other people's cars and have even tried teaching girls in my car club about what their boyfriends are doing so that they can feel more a part of it. i think that when i got more into cars, he and i grew closer together. (we're not together now, but we're still great friends and we still work on cars and go to shows together).

    i think the main reason you question it is because you dont feel much a part of it. you might not understnad what he's doing, or why its so important to him. but if you get involved you might understand. maybe hanging out with some car girls would be benefical to you. otherwise, i dont think we can explain it to you. i think explaining why you're passionate is extremely hard... especially to someone who knows nothing or very little about it.

    but let me tell you.... the first time i went to atlanta dragway and did the quarter, i was ADDICTED from then on out. and all i wanted to do was be faster...and faster.

    i just know that a year and a half ago i was wondering why a car with a new "muffler" was so buzzy and loud, and now i argue with people about which compression ratios work best....

    i hope things work out for you. its hard to understand, and its hard to hear it from guys, but hopefully you'll figure it all out.
