My boyfriend hates my RX-8

Hehe my girlfriend got mad at me.. she was in car sales at the time and I bought it from another dealership.. (Now why the hell would I go to a GM dealership to buy a Mazda?!)

Jedi54 · 11-09-2005, 03:19 PM

Haha, I can totally relate to this.

My long-time girlfriend sometimes just gets sick of me talking about RX-8's all day long.
Oh, and she wasn't too thrilled when I spent ALL-DAY Saturday applying Zaino to it. (made us late for dinner)

Although, whenever we want to go somewhere she always says, "Lets take the pretty car!"
When I'm driving it she turns into a big kid and I have heard her utter the words "zoom zoom" when I'm flying through a turn.

My wife is a brunette. She calls the 8 "Blondie" and refers to is as my girlfriend. Actually, all her friends and co-workers refer to the car as my girlfriend now too.

It's not so bad now, but when I was doing different installs, I would spend days working on the car.

My wife HATES my 8. I basically get the stink eye every time it is mentioned. She thinks I put more work into my car than I put into home improvements. (duuuhhh)

She may be right. I tagged a rim on a curb the other day and within 24 hours a had the blemishes repaired so that you could not even see them any more. There were some holes in the walls of my house from the prior occupants that I have puttied up but I have never sanded them in three years.

Yep. I love her. Oh, I love my wife to.

Once after some particularly hot sex, my wife turned to me and said, "Honey, you are amazing!" And I, being a particularly smart man said, "so would this be a good time to ask if I can spend $400.00 on a new high flow cat?"

NgoRX8 · 11-09-2005, 04:09 PM

My girlfriend... umm I mean my ex always said I loved my 8 more than her.

Jedi54 · 11-09-2005, 04:16 PM

Maybe that's why she's now the EX.
Seems to me you might have made the right choice...

A friend of mine I work with just shakes her head at me... cause I love my car so much!! And when I mentioned that I joined the club... she about fell over laughing

She would make wise cracks (she has a trail blazer) and say maybe I (meaning she) can join a blazer club...

What do people who hook up on this site do on the first date? Take separate cars, park their next to eachother and take turns buffing the other's hood hood in the moon light? Hey, that sounds like a good time. We are sick, sick people.

BlueEyes · 11-09-2005, 04:49 PM

two or three, maybe, years ago, I was to celebrate my 1 year anniversary with one of my girlfreinds. I decided to spend the entire day in a machine shop making adjustable wing struts for a race car.

She came over at about 11 at night, after recieving no answer to her dozens of calls. She walked in all non chalant, and asked what I was doing. I, all excited, explained my clever creation and demonstrated it to her. She wasn't impressed. Apparently, I was supposed to go out for dinner, and get all romantic and ****.

Bah, they come, they go.

You should start it. I am sure you have a more recent story to start it off than I. Admittedly I have one or two naughty stories but most of them pre-date my RX8 ownership.

What's wrong with your wife's hands that they don't fit around a sanding block?

THAT'S WHAT I SAY! Finally a place where i am understood.

Photic · 11-09-2005, 06:32 PM

My gf asked if she could smoke in the car and I said "no", she wasn't too thrilled.

jskup1 · 11-09-2005, 06:59 PM

I waited until 3 days after the wife left for deployment and bought mine. She wasn't too happy.

nomopistons · 11-09-2005, 11:15 PM

My wife says I look funny in the car, being middle aged and overweight. I made her happy in my own special way when I bought a 95 Ford pu on ebay for us to take instead of the 8 whenever we are seen together.
