What is hers is ours, what's ours is mine

Wifey wouldn't let me buy a stang GT vert for me, but it was ok to buy it for my daughter (go figure). Now Wifey wants her own GT. No V6 for her, she loves the V8 rumble and power. With two around, I really won't need my own.

While my daughter is away at college she takes my 94 honda that sits outside in a college lot that can be a demoDerby. Her stang sits safely in my garage, and someone needs to drive that stang to keep the battery charged.

All of my previous girlfriends and current girlfriend always help me pick out mods for my car if they are cosmetic. I don't even bother to ask them if it is performance related because they already think the car is too fast from the factory...but what do they know?

This is my 3rd Mustang and I do all my own mod's unless its something I can't handle alone and ask my hubby to help. He's not as much as a "stanghead" as me. I love them and always have. My '05 is a V6 but by preference. I didn't want to join the "if it's not a GT, its not a mustang" club. I prefer the V6. I added a magnaflow exhaust and get compliments all the time on my "ballsy" sound. So, I think if a woman wants a mustang and wants to do her own mods, more power to her! The "car world" is just not a "MAN'S WORLD" anymore!

the right to vote?
being allowed to work?
skirts higher than the ankle?

I'm right on board with this thread. My wife somehow got it into her head that she would like a Mustang. After finishing up her chores, she broached the subject. Before she had even finished with her asking permission to test drive one, I jumped in with a "My dear, don't fret - I shall purchase you a Mustang tomorrow!". Fortunately, being a woman, she's obviously stupid and completely ignorant when it come to cars - I bought her a VW Bug and told her it was a Mustang. Problem solved!

Fortunately, having grown-up as a scullery-maid, she didn't get an education, so she can't read the badging! She now has a "Mustang" with the kind of power a woman can handle, gets great mileage and it even has a pretty flower in it. The only question I have is, when did they decide it was a good idea to allow wimmin to get drivers licenses?!?

Yes this will get interesting!!! Obviously you can't keep up with a woman that smart and can drive too. Too much competition for you? Do you know who wrecked all my hot cars that we owned when I was married???? My ex-husband. Now I'm single, have an 05 GT That I've had up to 120 mph, played tag with Corvettes, Porsches, catch me if you can games with men stupid enough to take me on and try and out drive me.....do I need to say anything else????

???

I thought I'd made my post so patently tongue-in-cheek as to be obvious that I was deriding the original post? I mean, women CAN vote, right?

Sheesh, chill out, sista-girl! Maybe want to read wot's written, afore you go off all 1/2-cocked!

The original intent of this thread......

The original intent of this thread in more simple terms is whether how many fellows say they buy mustangs for their wives but actually use them themselves. The analogy was fishing poles and things like that. Tongue in check too.

The answer that I learned, is there are lots of ladies that go ga ga over a nice mustang their husbands give to them as a present and would prefer it over blings and things as Jennifer so succinctly put it.

The answers were all over the board from "yes my wife loves hot mustangs and we enjoy them together," to tongue in cheek, to misinterpretation, defensiveness, to responses slightly off topic. I was sort of a devils advocate. There was definitely no mysogeny implied or intended. Where's the sense of humor?

Moderators, can I have a commission for how long this thread has gotten? Your sponsors are probably most appreciative. <<Tongue in cheek>>

O.K., I'm off my soapbox now... I did get the gist, but the one comment struck a nerve.

this thread has been fun for sure...but i can say for sure that the 06 in our garage is my wife's car. it was bought for her, picked out by her, and modded the way SHE asked it to be. everything on the car she picked out and wanted. the only time i drive the car is if we are together, well, that and if it needs service or something. it's ours by law, but in our mind's it's 100% hers.

I apologise - I took the post COMPLETELY the wrong way! You were meaning it in a "Homer buys Marge a bowling-ball for her birthday" kind of way, and I took it in a "wimmin should stick to their chores" kind of way.

Sorry, my bad!

Simple, her cars / her payments...........

A woman that does not work is pointless. Wife GETS a car because she works. Plain and simple. Need to put out in order to get output.

My wife was definitely NOT excited about the Mustang (she did like the color scheme though)... I had a 4 year old Honda Accord that worked perfectly. At first she didn't want to drive it (if it was a stick, she wouldn't drive it at all), but after driving it a few times she does like the "vroom" it has

My wife definitely falls under the "not a car girl" kind of girl and kindly listens while I talk about mods I want to do. I'm sure she'd rather be scrapbooking though

I think our wifes are twins!



She was NOT pleased at first when I bought my pony (traded her E350 on it)...

She felt a bit better when I traded my 95 F150 4x4 for a 2005 F150 4x4 for her.

She is more a "truck gal" than a "car gal"...

She loves her new "Commercial Traction" knobby tires and wants me to put my extra set of GT mufflers on her truck!
