Im not reading this whole thread... hell no, Im too lazy, or something...
I will say this though, dunno if someone mentioned this or not, but: why not join him in his hobby? Show interest... learn about these cars and impress him with some interesting fact, like say; so hunny, are you gunna upgrade your ct-26 to a 60-1? He'll think its so cute!
lol...
Im lucky I guess: my wife loves my, er, OUR car
She supports my addiction to upgrading... Films me at the track, even when its not the greatest tape, lol... She gets on me when I race around for no reason, but cheers me when I smoke a vette... When Im working on the car, she will hang with me while I work, ask questions, bring me drinks, put medicine on my cuts, rubs my back when its sore from hovering over the engine... She congradulates me when the work is done, and gives me support when Im frustrated with a problem with the car...
Its awesome... I love that she supports me... And when we go to meets/shows, she knows whats up with these cars, so she doesnt look like a trophy standing there lookin pretty...
Get involved with your guy and his passion... It'll only bring you two closer...
