OK fellas, how many of your wifes or girlfriends really care what vehicle they ride in as long as it gets them to WalMart or the beach? I sold my 300ZX when we married because the wife said "We can't carry anything in it", so when I suggested we buy a truck, she said "So, what do you think you need to carry?" Aaaagggggghhhh! I think I like this Tina person. Sounds like my kinda woman! I never want to see a pic of her, it would shatter my fantasy.

At first my wife hated the fact that i bought a truck. She was so upset until I let her drive it home the dealership in Houston to Beville, about a 3 hour trip. After that, now she wants all the time. And since she's "BOSS" I have to settle for her 97 Nissan Sentra 1 day a week to keep her happy.

I'm the one who gets to drive to Wal-Mart and the grocery store because I have the room to put all of her, I mean "our" stuff. Makes sense considering she has a 2dr Civic, or so she says. I tried to get her to give me gas money, but that didn't go over well. I can't wait to get married?!?!?! One good thing for me is that she can't drive a 5-speed, not that she'd be allowed to drive it anyway.

Back in my dating days (I do remember back that far) I always checked out my to be dates car before going out with him. Hot race car, preferrably with gears, YES. Harley Davidson YES. Nice Ford stepside, YES. Pinto, NO. You get my point I found my husband at the Harley shop waxing his bike, his truck (I learned later) was at his house.

Well I don't have a wife and my husband prefers it that way! This truck is a guy magnet, I highly recomend it to single women. When I told a guy I had just started dating that I was going to buy a truck, I couldn't get rid of him. He wrecked that truck the second time he drove it! Oh he paid my deductable (I din't tell him, but I would have dumped him hard and fast if he didn't) and then I married him so he would have to pay my increased ins. rates too, and I still won't let him drive my new truck. Well I do all the mods, washing and waxing ect.
And guys, when trying to impress girls, IT IS the size (of the Truck) that counts!

I had to do some real salesmanship to get the approval committee (my wife) to go along with buying our new truck. I told her that our Super Cab was "just like a minivan" and had plenty of room for our 2 girls. She finally went along with buying the truck after many hours of begging (hey, I'm not proud!!) Now she really likes riding in the front seat of our 4 x 4 because she can see everything. She sits in the passenger seat like a queen on her throne.

he may not say no, but you should of seen him the last time he let me drive it. he tensed up when i got off the campus streets and into some traffic then critized my parking ability. Its a big difference between my truck and his truck. his may have more power and sit up higher, but mine is easier to manuever and brakes alot better.
still love them both no matter what.

You DO mean both TRUCKS don't you?

 

well, I have to love Mudder too or he might not let me drive his truck anymore.

 

Let me share one more little frustration. I am a kook when it comes to keeping my vehicles clean, so when I go out to wash one of them my wife says, "How long are you going to be out there?", or "Why do you have to do it now?".....blah blah blah. HOWEVER, should I go too long without cleaning up the Maxima she is all over my case! "When are you going to detail my car?" Somebody just go ahead and call 911, I'm gonna whup her like trailer trash!
