Re: Wife/Gf does she support the truck hobby?

Except for the few times she drove it and had an excuse to put her foot in it, she has no interest, but supports it as a hobby for me. There have been a few times where she came back from driving it with a big grin on her face. Bottom line is, I don't WANT her too interested. I don't wanna share mine, and one SyTy in the family is (more than?) enough....

Mine could care less about the truck,but she understands how rare/special it is.
I go to meets everywhere and she's cool with that.

Jimmy woulda voted "she loves my truck because it gets me out of the house and away from her and the computer for a couple hours" but you forgot to add that option.

Why you buying another Sy? Is it because the one you sold needed so much work? :lol:

Re: Wife/Gf does she support the truck hobby?

Mine is cool with it and never says a neg. thing. She and I have a rule and that is that I can buy anything under $1,000 and not have to discuss it.......so I simply place a lot of smaller orders :rotf:

Re: Wife/Gf does she support the truck hobby?

My Wife is more between minimal and loves it. It is more of a love hate relationship like we all have with out SyTys. She is on me to get it running and likes to go to the events. She has helped me reinstall the dash since she could get her hands in places behind the dash I couldn't and she help me but the coil overs on the rear. Other times she wants nothing to do with it and doesn't even want to hear about it. Then she goes out and buys me new rims... She does love to get into races when she drives it. So not sure where that puts her.. :-b

My wife teared up when I started my truck for the first time in over a year last Sunday. :D I'd say that speaks for itself. :tup:

How well does your Wife/Gf support your truck hobby?

For example last weekend I had a bunch of parts to build. The GF was perfectly fine taking her whole weekend with me to sit in front of the mill, while I was on the lathe keeping it running. Grabbed lunch for me Sunday, brought it back. In total in 2 days we spent almost 20 hours just in the garage working on syty stuff. (not even for my own truck).

I can't thank her enough for the help.

Now my last GF put up with the truck, but wouldn't even step foot in the garage as it was too dirty.

so how well does your wife/GF support you and your truck?




Sounds like you may have a keeper if the all the other issues are ok, and if so your lucky.
Not easy to find a nice girl that likes hanging out in the shop!

My wife would rather see me screwing around with something on the truck then screwing aournd with woman in the bar. At least she knows where I am. She helps clean it, but wishes i had something newer,she doesn't understand the old car/truck thing.


BINGO! And from where I live it's only a short hop to Manila, Bangkok and Saigon (oops sorry, Ho Chi Minh City) where the bar time is "real quality" time (hell even the local bars here are better than any place state side) :tup: ! Soooo.... yea mine likes me in the garage or shop.

Re: Wife/Gf does she support the truck hobby?

The girlfriend openly hates the truck and regularly offers to sell it to perfect strangers out from under me. On the other hand, she loves going to car shows and enjoys attending truck meets of all kinds, including SyTy meets. She spotted a flyer for an upcoming event at Raceway Park in today's mail when she got home from work and checked with me to make sure I knew the date of the Fall Swapmeet and was making sure I didn't have to work.

I've come to the conclusion that my truck is the reason I don't have a wife/girlfriend :afro:

My wife thinks it's OK, Its in both our names, she goes to the car shows with me, she doesn't
like the hard 1 to 2 shift, she would prefer to drive around in her Rally Yellow 2004 Pontiac Sunfire
I know we get more looks from people when we drive it, most people just look puzzled when they see the SY. I am lucky I have been married to her for 30 years and we are best friends.

so i think there needs to be a minial but supportive vote option.

Mine's not much of a garage goer, unless I'm doing something she perceives as dangerous/dumb (read: potentially entertaining). She doesn't really "get it", but is willing to track down and order stuff for the cause (even if it means dealing with Renz).
