get over it, be happy that he has found a hobby that makes him happy. be secure knowing that a car can never replace a woman. even if it seems like he loves the supra more than you, well, he might love it more than you but its a different kind of love.

the last thing you will want to do is make him choose between you and the supra, IMO any girl who would do that to her partner is not worth staying with.

or

lagged put it pretty perfect. My ex-gf knew I liked my car a lot, and she knew better than to make me pick.

well the only reason i posted here is b/c i figured i would get some understanding from guys like him.

I have talked to him, he doesn't agree and gets mad when I say he loves the supra more than me. But thats how I feel and I guess that will never change b/c no matter how fast his car is, it can always be faster. Therefore, there will always be more mods for the supra.

Don't get me wrong, I like his car. The fact that he is great with cars is one of the things I found attractive in the first place. I guess I never thought I would be jealous of a CAR and compete for attention!

the bottom line is you shouldnt be jealous of a CAR...most guys love their supras endlessly but its not like the love for a good woman. BUT if a girl ever made said guy choose thats extremely selfish on her part and frankly the guy would probably pick the supra lol.....

just realize that him working on his car is NOT cheating on you....maybe support him with it...learn how to work on it with him...offer to help him..buy him mods for his bday or xmas or whatever.... THATS how you will get more attention from him...cause gf's who get into cars because they want to show support for their guy is sexy.

maybe you shouldnt start the conversation with something like "you love the car more than you love me", doesnt work, will never work.

well if he doesnt understand or wont change at least a lil bit... screw him. seriously, why put up with bullshit like that?

my bf is a car freak too... but still he understands that I need attention, that I wanna spend time with him, etc. ... i told him, he said he's gonna try and change... and he did... makes me love him even more :)
and i also try to support him... trying to learn car stuff etc.

o
i see you feel you are competeing for attention, ok, if you ever get mad, DONT TOUCH THE CAR, i think thats a fair enough warning.
I think i speak for the guys on this board when i say "We love our cars, but we all love our women more" it may look like we dont but we do. there isnt a guy on this forum that wouldnt trade his car, for his girl if he truely loved her.

My fiance feels the same way sometimes. When I first got the supra, I spent night and day fixing it and obsessing over it.

Be glad it's a car and not another woman. If you're really wanting to spend more time with him, try learning more about the supra and cars in general.

That advice may sound pig-headed, but you obviously care about the guy if you're on here looking for help instead of just dumping him. You have to remember how single-minded we(guys) are sometimes. I've been playing on the computer trying to get some new stuff(Gentoo/KDE...) working for almost a week now. Although she gets annoyed, she knows I'd be patient with her if it were something she were passionate about.

Give him time and show an interest in his hobby is the best advice I can give. My fiance is sitting here agreeing. She knows how bad I was, but she also knows that if she's understanding with me, I'll be understanding with her.

Don't give up! :) Competing with a car is pointless, it's an object, a possession, you are a live human being. Becoming involved in the work is a great idea, there are few things more cute to us than a good looking gal all dirty from helping to work on the car. Pick up a mod or two for Christmas, or birthdays, or what have you, then the car will start to remind him of you and your support. Even just simple things like washing the car with him help in a big way.

why does she have to do stuff over and over again... buy things, help him etc... and he isnt doing anything for her? that's not fair guys. she is giving and taking, he is just taking... at least that's how it sounds to me.

None of your fucking business
I love my Supra just like the rest of us. But, the supra has never cooked for me, never done my laundry and never made me feel like the most important person in the world. :evil2: You'll never lose out to a car unless YOU make it a problem, shit at least he isnt smokin crack... (If your bf is SIMAN im sorry about the crack comment :aigo: ) My girlfriend thinks my car is nice, but its just a car to her... but she understands I'm crazy about it and admires the fact that I have a constructive hobby. Sometimes she trys to act interested, but she just asks questions to humor me. He won't give it up, so get involved. Hell your already a member at Supramania!!! Looks some stuff up and surprise him with your knowledge!!!

there is nothing wrong with loving a car and working on it day and night... I do understand that but she IS helping, she IS buying stuff etc and still it seems like he doesn't give a shit about her (might be a lil harsh here)... and that's just wrong! there is giving and taking in every relationship, sometimes more, sometimes less but if someone just gives and the other one just takes.... well, its not healthy. you guys know what I mean?
