Default Girlfriends/Wives and 5.0s

Does your girlfriend or wife get jealous of you and the 5.0? Does she show any interest in it or any particular care for it?

My girlfriend doesn't ever complain about me working on it rather than spending time with her, but she hasn't ever said anything that even makes me think she likes the car. Any of y'alls significant others like that? The only time she has showed liking for the car is when I let her ride in it when I drag raced, she said it was 'hot' when we launched. Other than that she only says something when she sees a vette, never the 5.0.

My wife hates my 5.0 with a passion. She thinks because it's old its garbage. She hates it when i move her car out of the garage to put mine in there to keep dry.

we got into an arguement one time and she knew how much the car ment to me so she threw a broom at it(no damage) I then broke the broom over my knee and with the evilist voice said" don't you ever touch my car like that again"

I've even been offered club members garages to hide it.

my girlfriend as well hates the 5.0. She says its dirty, ugly, and slow. Of course she gets mad when i put money into it or work on it when i could be with her.

But then again she constatly asks to drive it plus she has so far bought me my cold air intake, autometer guages, racing seats, and my ring and pinion. I guess she can't hate it that bad right?

She still says its ugly and needs paint. So now that im going to paint it white she decides she doesn't like white and wants it black. the price difference was a pretty good chunk of money and she even offered to pay the difference. But for some reason i just couldn't let her do that... all in all, even though she hates it, i love the way she does it

The wife would be happy if I got rid of mine. It looks good still, but I would like to "freshen up" the engine. Up to about 347ci
She says, I should sell it, I hardly ever drive it anyway (almost 1K miles last year). I told her no, I bought this car new in 88 and it has never let me down, and besides that, it's been around longer than you have so it stays!!
My ex girlfriend had a nice Black T-Top 85 GT. That was cool, but things didn't work out[&o]

my ex didnt mind the 5.0 and bought some things for it in the past.

Women are like 5.0 mustangs. They look amazing when there wet, they sound good when there purring like a kitten, they look good naked, they are both fast, they both should NOT have bra's on, and last but not least they both can get you laid =P.

haha what other things can women and the stangs be compared with.
