    Not really!!

    For every 9 times she complains about it, she says she is glad that I have a hobby I enjoy once.

    She just doesn't understand the interest.

    So goes along with it. She doesn't understand why I like it or why I want to mess with something that gives me such a hard time but she doesn't hinder it either. She gives me my space for the car and I give her space for her hobbies. Works out GREAT! :clap: :bananaman

    She suppurts my hobbies as long as I support hers. Fair Trade I guess. She likes collecting dolls (which I see no point;) ) but she does not understand my obsession with old vintage iron either.
    Anyway it works for the most part I just give her a little attention about the new doll and how pretty it is and then spout into something like that blue dress reminds me of the color on my mav.........:clap: :bananaman :bananaman :D

    My girlfriend loves my maverick. Not to mention that feeling you get when your heart goes into your stomach while those rear wheels are spinning! :D :rolleyes:

    Not to get left out of the loop here, I am the wife of a LONG time motorhead and I support everything he wants to do with our cars and my Maverick. What can I say, I'm a born motorhead too. That may explain why we get along so well. We have the same interest and we love what we do: restore cars. There's nothing a few cuss words and a big hammer can't fix.:smash:

    well the ball and chain i think is kinda jealous of the time we spend with "point A to point B." but as more and more people honk and yell shoutouts, she is slowly coming to understand.
