Mustang vs Camaro

I don't get why you change all this stuff on our car in the first place..." So that sums up how she feels about me and the car scene in general.

This may be your first clue to go ahead and take my original advice. My car obsession is one of the reasons I'm no longer married. She kept thinking it was a phase I'd grow out of, knowing full well I'd been into cars since I could say the word. If she at least understands your obsession, you might be OK, if not, I can virtually guarantee you will have issues somewhere down the road.

She understands it, but I think what gets her about it is that I tend to spend money on a lot of stupid things, including the car, when I don't really have the money to spend...that is the main issue. If I were better at that, and had the extra money to spend, I don't think it'd be a problem.
