OT: Girlfriend + Mustang = Disaster - What can I do???

[5.0_GT_kid]

damn, i've been out for since friday and never expected to see these many posts over this topic. I GUESS I'M NOT ALONE IN THIS WORLD. thanx guys and girls for all your advice. good news is that yesterday i took her shopping, movies and dinner and IN THE STANG. we were having a nice time and over dinner a moment of silence overcame our conversation, so i took that little time frame to mention the STANG(i really need to get a nickname for my car, currently it's FERRARI, but not really digging it) so as soon as i start talking about it, she interupts and says "I know, I've been thinking a lot about it and understand how much you love your car. It's just like me with shopping. I was a little jelous(sp??) cuase you never used to work on it so much, but I can get used to it. You try to be with me as much as possible, so there's not much more I can ask." OMG , I was surprised but kept it cool and all said was "I knew you'd get it one of these days" HELL YEAH, i get to keep both. the whole converstion sounded like a soap and a little corny, but hey, she said it, not me. By the way, I'm 21 and so is she and we've been together for about 3 years, so dumping her was the last thing i wanted. I've had 3 mustangs but didn't have money to mod them and with this one I do, so she wasn't used to it. OK SO THIS POST IS LONG ENOUGH, BUT EVERYTHING CAME OUT GREAT SO WE'LL SEE WHAT ELSE WE CAN FIGHT ABOUT NOW

I had a similiar problem stunner, my old GF would get pissed at the amount of time I spent cleaning, waxing, and pampering my car. She was envious to the nth degree, and I didn't see anything changing her behavior. Then I showed her how to drive it (5spd), I never had another problem outta her. She would insist she take my car to go out with her friends. You could go that route or get a girl that's into stangs, or one that is open-minded about a mans hobby. Just my .02.

Brother.. Your preachin' to the choir!!! Mine sleep with 2 guy when I was in the Marine Corps for 8 years. When I meat her I had a 96 Mistic Cobra, she got knock up and told me I got to get rid of the car.... That was clue #1, Clue number to you come back off a 6 month flot and have a wife that 2 months knock up.... ..STICK WITH THE STANG you will not regret it. My new one love the sound of the Stang and she like to drive it like she stole it..... GOt to love a woman that can power shift too...

Don't you love it when you are away serving your country proudly and some infidel woman tries to put it in your back? It's cool, I guess what goes around comes around. The stangs have been some of the best women I have ever had. I know that sounds sad, but I don't mind it a bit.

Here's the way I am:

A girl has to like me for me.That includes my hobbies,the way I look,the way I dress.She doesn't have to like my friends,but she can't ask me to stop hanging out with my friends-and that INCLUDES female friends.

If she can't do that,then f--k her,I don't need her.That goes for anyone,period.Friends,family,girlfriend,stranger.

My girl not only bought the stang for me but helps with the insurance, parts, and even works on it quite a bit herself! Kind of hard to believe but she is absolutley the most un-self-centered person I have ever met and supports me in every way. My only complaint is that she doesn't do enough for herself, so I try my best to make up for it .
