  1. Well i only said I'd get hers before I spent any more money on my two cars (Right before buying the shoebox I spent quite a bit on parts for my 62 Continental)

  3. You sound beyond lucky, you are blessed, does she have any like-minded sisters or female cousins or friends that'd enjoy N.Y. ? Peace,,,Moosie :)

    My Wife Loves looking at the old hotrods , and loves watching me transform some ole hunk of rusted iron into something cool . She gets interested in what im doing and asks questions on how im doing it and where I learned it . Same thing with the big 4wd's ive built . But it never fails , as soon as i get her in one of them and crack thr throttle one time she is DONE riding in it . She likes the little slow rides down main street or through a mud pit , but if i pass 4000 rpms , she is screaming obcenities and reaching for anything she can dig her nails into lol.

    The only time she never got scared in one was actually a FRICKEN AWSOME expieriance.

    I was at a show with my 68 short bed chevy that had a 355 with a huffer on it . Ran good. Her and one of her cousins were at one of thier other cousins wedding receptions just down the road, I got a call , they had both drank and wanted me to come be the designated driver. Well i thought id have some fun , so there i am with my blonde headed wife and her good lookin red headed cousin in the front seat drivin down main street. At a stoplight i stahl it up a little a smoke them through the intersection . Her cousin says " this truck makes me feel sexy" Then the wife follows suit . Next thing i know , i look over and they are both giggling , TOPLESS in the truck laughing , The red head is hanging out the window going down mainstreet LMAO , and the wife is climbing on me . Man what a ride.

    My wife and me started out touring around on Harleys , She put up with that for years and when I started getting into cars, Man she was excited! She can wear shorts on rides and bring tons of shit with her now! lol. Many of nights she has been in the garage helping or sewing an interior panel. And she will still take a longer than average ride on the ol Harley to this day

    My wife will teel you that it's the people you meet that make or break the "scene" no matter what it is. We've been very fortunate through 45 plus years of stock/modified hydroplanes/runabouts. gokarts, sporty car racing and now hot rods and customs to associate with fine groups of people.

    That's not a bad thing my friend! Often women have a better grasp on what "works" aesthetically than we do. Listen to her carefully, she may give you some GREAT ideas and will love to brag about what SHE contributed!

    My girlfriend loves the hotrod scene so much that she arranged her own Hotrod & Custom parking with 2 rockabilly bands

  30. I met my girlfriend at the NHRA Museum. We both work there part time.
    She refuses to work on the roadster with me though, I'm a bit of a prick when things don't go right. I'm sure none of you have that problem.
