fortunately my girlfriends main hobby is old BMWs. she has been a a race instructor(buttonwillow/streets of willowsprings...).
she is currently building an 85 635csi...
however, this poses a new set of problems and threats..
1) battle for garage time
we have a 2 car garage, and it is not sufficient if both of us wanna tear down engines at the same time, only having one hoist/etc. finally got a big enough compressor to run 2 sets of air tools
2) cant go to the track together(and both drive)
don't have a CDL license or a trailer to haul 2 cars and all the spares and crap.
3) obviously household auto budgeting is a concern...
4) i sometimes find my garage beer fridge empty!!!
5) the continual neighborhood hassles surround having what could constitute a use car lot on my property. in total we have 13 vehicles at the house including the the bikes. this includes some donor carcasses, so don't get too jealous... one of them is starting to grow plants out of it...(luckily its a chevy! !
6) this is embarrassing to say... she could out drive me in a school bus.
7)sometimes there are heated arguments, that get a little too emotional, about things like tire choice/etc.
i guess you win some, you lose some.
all and all i think its an advantage over living with a woman who doesn't get it

Being a female and all, id say both. You just have to find a girl that loves your car as much as you.. Hard to find yes. But she's out there!! I spent mostly all my free time with my ex and his baby(91 fc) thats probably why im looking to buy my own really soon. I absolutly loved that car. My garage looked like his, as if we were married. Both of our bedrooms had car PARTS in them. AND I LOVED IT! lol! so id say if u cant find a women that love ur car and you.. **** HER! lol

Id say over half of the guys here choosing RX7s over Women can't get women as it is lol!
I love my girlfriend she doesn't mind when I go work on my RX7 we live together and work together but in different departments. But we spend enough time together so Its okay for me to go and work on my car.

My girlfriend has been with me since i got my Rx7, in fact i got the car around the same time we got together.
It's been a hassle i'll admit and there have been times where the car has ruined plans, weekends, moods, and has over all screwed me over at the wrong time...
...but shes stuck through it with me and is recently helping me with my 5-speed swap
As far as decisions go, Cars come and go, but a girl like that is once in a lifetime
