So, gf flipped out about my Dart, but is now encouraging me to buy a 67 Fury III. Women, who understands them? _________________ 1986 Camaro Z-28 IROC-Z 350 swap |

| Furys are cool, but they always end up looking like a Fairlane. |

You know...........at the machine tool show a few years back a dealer was giving away little note books labeled "everything men know about women"
It was blank inside.
I gave up trying to figure out women many........many............(did I say many?) years ago. I have found the proper response in most situations is "yes dear". The other situation is, "no it does not make you look fat".
Those two should cover about 99% of the things you need to know dealing with women. _________________ Member of the "Elite T56 Club" , big brake club, and "burgundy" (not red or maroon) car owner.

I learned that on the last g/f, kicked her to the curb. And people wonder why Ive been single for 5 years. Untill I got papers, and she has a job making as much (or more) money as me, she will have NO sayso. _________________ 2008 GMC Z71

I would really like to give you some helpfull advice about dealing with difficult females, but I have never had these problems.
It's even been said that I am a lucky SOB to have the one I have. |

Girlfriends won't tell you how to spend your money. They'll just ridicule you mercilessly about how you spend it!  _________________ '86 Trans Am - 5.0L TPI - LT1 cam - 700R4 - WS6

I'm fortunate that finances are seperate. As long as each contributes equally to the partnership, we roll fine! _________________ A redline a day keeps the carbon away! |

| My wife and I pretty much agree on everything money. I take care of all the bills and savings, and she is a thrifty shopper. There is never a big decision that we don't make together. Although since my wife trusts me, and I have a broader view of our finances, she tends to go with me if I say it's okay. That attitude of trust has been built up from positive experiences with my past decisions. |

To be honest, her issue with my Dart is not about money. It was more about the time I spend working on it. When you're doing a ground up resto, it takes a lot of time and effort, and I suppose she just got jealous of that. _________________ 1986 Camaro Z-28 IROC-Z 350 swap |

Mine is cool about coin she's an FC and is outstanding with coin,
I feel fortunate, even so we both have our own financial setups and slush
funds to piss away like the kids Inheritance, college funds... and a
mutual for the daily junk and that has worked out great.
LOL...After a jillion years of marriage, she practically hands me the polish!
Here ya go...have a beer too...ahhh OK.
