WOW!!! Tough decision
Hi guys and gals,
Well.... Just found out that my fiancé really hates my corvette
. I just bought it in sept of 2013 for my 40th b-day it's what I always wanted. In fact she found it on craigslist for me.
Now I found out that she hates it and will never EVER!!! get into it, I really thought it was going to be something that just her and I could enjoy taking out on evening rides ( guess I was wrong)
Not really sure what I should do, I'm not really up for giving up my dream car that I just bought and have only drove it a handful of times before winter came.
Just looking for good solid advice (no bashing)

How long have you dreamed of this car and how long have you known her? 
Honestly, she doesn't have to like it, but, if she likes you she should at least tolerate something that you care about. Its all a part of being a couple.

Does she want you to get rid of it?? If it makes you happy, I'll bet she doesn't...

She doesnt have to like it. There will be plenty of things thats shes very interested in that you will not care less about. As long as you respect each other, its fine.
However, if she refuses to get in it and aggressively makes a big deal about how much she hates it, she doesnt care about your feelings at all and that would concern me a great deal. This is someone who sounds jealous about something that might take away from a moment's attention to her. Something to think about.
Sounds like someone who expects to tell you what you can do, spend money on or spend time enjoying.

Maybe she feels like she is having to compete with the car? My girlfriend was acting the same way when I first got mine. I would just sit her down and talk to her about the change in heart all of a sudden. I am almost 90% sure though that she feels like she has to compete with the vette.
Plus if she makes you get rid of the car, what other hobbies or things is she going to make you give?

This is such an easy decision ... A c-3 or any corvette for that matter is THE PERFECT car to kick the Bi^%$ out with ..
Make her get in the car , drive her to her parents house .. Kick her out ..
Yes most of you are saying ya dont need a corvette to do that BUT alas you are not thinking clearly ..
The advantage of using the C-3 is she cant take anything with her and you end up with the car , fridge , couch , tv ect ect ect ,,
BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA .......... I call that a WIN / WIN

I've been with her for 7 years now, so.... She's been around longer than the car. Honestly I think it has to do with the fact I bought the car before we actually planned to get married. That's just my guess
No I won't put pics of her in here

Instead of your avatar stating "garage is empty now". It may say "left side of the bed is empty now".....
