She is cool with it, in fact she got me started because she was the one that wanted the vette and it was hers when we first got it. I just had a cam installed and tried to sneak that past her, it didnt work , and she was not mad at all.WHen she asked how much I just kind of pretended to not hear that question.

My wonderful wife bought me my first Corvette. She knew it was my dream. Since then, although she smirks at me, it's always in good fun because she loves the car as much as I do! Her only comments are to poke fun at me for spending so much time on it. Oh, and "Make sure the budget can afford the mods."
She's a great woman!

My wife of 18 years fully understands my love for cars. She comes to as many events as she can & helps me as much as she can while working on my cars. (she's very petite & a "girly-girl")......so its more watching me work on cars & moving the light around or taking pictures for me.........either way, she is always involved & interested in what I'm doing with the Vette.
She hit the BUY IT NOW button on my first Vette purchase a few years back & we bought this 89 coupe, which started it all.

She don't understand the fascination with it, although she knows I work hard and need some guy time.
She knows its better than what I could be doing and I always try to include her in the major mod decisions, even though she really don't care.

My GF ins't a gear head at all, but she seems to really enjoy riding in the car and fully puts up w/ my addiction.
She jokes me when it's down for mods and whines about "how long will it be down?!?" because she refuses to ride in my POS beate truck w/ no muffler. It's ok... when it's down for mods we take her Jeep.
My ex used to bitch about me spending money/time on the car, but the new GF actually asks what all the boxes are and what the parts inside do to the car
I took her on a vette cruise... and she made fun of me/us for being "those people" but I could tell she really liked it... attention *****
