Question Girlfriends, Wives, and Cars.

All of you guys out there, i'm sure you've been asked, or at least soon to be asked,

"If you had to pick between ME or ANY new car, which would you choose?"


Let me tell you my story..

One night, me and my girlfriend were talking. She had brought up that question into the conversation, because she knew how much I loved cars.

I answered, "Umm.. Umm.. Can I get the car, then sell it, then be able to keep you as well..?"

Her, "No. One or the other."

Me, " Umm.. You."

She said, "What?! How did you even have to think twice about that question?? I told you I love you more than my shoes, purses, and make up!"

I finish and say in a kidding tone, "Sorry dear, next time i'll make sure I don't think twice."


But thank goodness she thought I was just messing with her! jk jk, lol

The girl no doubt. They'll be there when you really need someone and when you have no one to turn to.

Ya, I agree you can get with many chicks but when it comes down to someone who you trust with everything...it's hard to find that person. If you have a serious gf keep her but if your have a fool around type of gf then get the car . There are always plenty of fool around kind of girls to go around but It all comes down to money though. How you dress, what you drive and how confident you are.

I got my gf by cooking for her lol

She's older than me by 5 years. But I wouldnt trade her for the world, plus she's a pharmacist and runs a clothing business with her cousin in Vietnam. They sell designer clothes there.

It's really a false choice. Any woman who makes you choose is either insecure or playing a silly game with you. Personally, it would be big signal to me, if she knew how important my cars are to me, that she would make me choose in that way. And probably time for me to recycle her.

I hate stupid games like that. Once had a gf who didn't understand why I changed my own oil, and was annoyed that it cut into "our" time. Now, there were other issues, but that was certainly one strike against her.

My gf wants me to change her oil and do car stuff. I enjoy detailing cars so she lets me do it while she's watching tv or online I'm glad she doesnt get upset at the things I get, she'll just say she doesnt like it or it looks good but usually she doesnt even notice anything on the car for awhile till I point it out haha

+1 Mrs. Mskembo and I have been married 5yrs, but I can't imagine my life without her. (Seriously I can't, every time I try something hits me in the head! I don't know how she knows! Owe, crap, not again!)

Seriously, if you find the right woman, then you'll pick her over the car everyday.
