Well after reading on another post reguarding how we get excited about little things on the car and our girls generally just roll their eyes, I became curious. Do your girls like you car or dislike? Mine doesn't like my car at all she says it is ugly and to big and reverse is on the wrong side and the butt of the car is ugly and headlights look crosseyed and doesn't have 4 wheel drive and on and on....... :shifty even though she won't admit that her 12k 2003 audi 1.8t is ugly and has a fat butt and is sooooo slow. Am i alone or do your other half's like you car?

my gf used to like my car, then she was scared of it, and now she's horrified of it - she says she hopes I dont drive it much hahaha

PS - call her cross eyed, fat, ugly, and tell her her ass is too big :buttrock

She don't have a choice!

Although I know she likes it, but she'll never admit it. "it's just a car"

My wife isn't nearly as excited about my car as I am.

I have shown her a shit-ton of wheels though, and though she was humoring me, she did suggest I put on some M-Pars. Which surprised me because I showed her the Style 5's on sale here and she said "those look like what you have on there now."

I am running stock 16 guys. :-(

well i know she doesnt like the bbs lms im about to get, she told me they look like flowers?

my girlfriend loves my car. Im glad, because thats where we have all the fun

my gf hates the E34.
she thinks is ugly and old.

however, she did say that its comfortable.

in the end " its just a car"


my E36 however, she said the outside is ugly. but the inside is nice.
but its soooo bumpy.

in the end " its just a car"

haha yea i think mine girl does like it but she will never admit it. everytime we drive it which it is always since "she doesn't want to drive"....she puts her feet up and lays back so i gotta think she actually likes it.

Just a car just a car just a car...bla bla bla gotta find better women!

Ha...

my ex liked the wagon but she LOVED the 635csi...although i rarely drove it with her in it....

she likes the wagon cuz its comfy and luxurious and she liked my new headlights and the fact that it was rolling on 18's and even she said it was "hot for a wagon"

lol

i get compliments on the car a lot from girls...

they go "hmm, this guys got his shit straight...look, hes even ready to settle down" little do they know :devillook

my girlfriend loves my car. Im glad, because thats where we have all the fun

haha i try not to let anything go down in my car because of the dove intr...so when i take the big old 86 benz out she knows somethings goin down. (front seat fold perfectly straight and the back seat is like a big bench) i love the benz.

Oh god, a girl who thinks an E36 is ugly.

:nono

the girls at my school really like my car. just because its a bmw. they dont notice its 13 years old and stuff. they just like the name. except one of my close friends doesn't like my car and says mercedes is better and blah blah. i just dont listen to her:)

wow this thread grew fast haha. Its good to know that i am not the only one that has a girl that says stuff like its just a car and its to big and ugly

Mine likes it but thinks I spend to much time cleaning it... But she doesn't like the fact that I have no tint..

haha i try not to let anything go down in my car because of the dove intr...so when i take the big old 86 benz out she knows somethings goin down. (front seat fold perfectly straight and the back seat is like a big bench) i love the benz.
oh yea:bj

Oh god, a girl who thinks an E36 is ugly.

:nono
yep... a girl with good taste.

Wife didn't like it because it was a wagon, then liked it because it was comfortable and had lots of room, and was quiet on the freeway...
Then didn't like it because she was afraid after getting harassed by the cops once, and now doesn't like it because she can't drive stick ;) ... and because I spend too much money on it.

But whenever we go somewhere, there is never any question we go in the Touring.

When I buy cars, computers, and clothes, a womans opinion is the last thing I want. When shes gone, I'll still have all the crap that she liked that suddenly looks like pee-wee herman's fruitcake house. Homey don't play dat.

You actually have time to date?

I thought you just slept with your car

I wish I had an e34 :(

My wife drives ours every day. She says it has a nice ass.

My GF just tells me my car is nice when I ask her. I don't think she really cares, though she's never had any complaints about my car

Wife doesn't give 2 sh$%'s as long as here car (Toyota) is clean and running fine.

My fiance makes fun of the fact that my cars always need work on them. She's not fond of red cars either. She thinks the E34 is too big and long. She also never pushes any of my modified cars, so I don't think she's getting the full experience. I know that she's not fond of the hard suspension either. She's more of an E46 gal. But she's always impressed by the number of people that flock to my car whenever I go somewhere.

All my g/f's in the past loved my cars..

My current gal like both the e30 and the e34 but hates the Audi. She names both the e30 and the e34 and she refers to them by name.


The girls loved my first black e34 back when I was in high school. One night this girl told me it made her wet when she saw me in it. :rofl She was a closet slut though. Dumb high school girls.

Nope, the girls hate it but they don't complain whenever they want a lift.

My ex cussed me so much when I bought the car, then said she started to like it. As soon as we finished she told me she hated the car, it was a shit box. That hurt me really deeply :rolleyes


She's more of an E46 gal

by her a 2002 M3 then instead of pumping money into E34's :stickoutt

E36's are ugly, I think all stock BMW's are. They make a great car for every chassis and put an M badge on it, then they take off all the good bits and sell loads of them :dunno

My gf told me she liked it.

my car.

My wife actually picked out and haggled on the price of my car for me.

You actually have time to date?

I thought you just slept with your car

I do, over 3 years now, its true

My gf loves my car, thinks its cool. She loves BMWs and is getting rid of her Mercedes.
And, she's going to be helping me rebuild it. :rolleyes

You guys want to burn through a lot of your wife's patience, understanding, and tolerance, do an engine and tranny swap while trying to keep one car as a daily driver so you can still get the kid to daycare and to work. My husband stock was not at its high point last year at this time when the drivetrain was getting swapped and I was driving my mechanic's M30 touring for a month.

Surprisingly, I didn't get in deep crap when I told her a few months ago that it was a mistake and I wanted to sell the car after all that.

I guess I wouldn't say she likes the car, she tolerates it. She normally doesn't like old cars but she thinks the E12 M535i has turned out pretty well and has sampled it from the passenger seat a few times now. She liked the E34 M5 3.8 liter euro a lot better. She just doesn't deal well with old car issues like stuff breaking or unreliable autos.

All in all, she's pretty darn tolerant I'd say. :redspot

My girlfriend gets no choice in what i drive
i htink when i bought it she saw it as an old mans car.... but since then it has made her happy
she likes being a passanger, she likes privacy in the back seat :D
im trying to get her to try and drive it (shes still a learner) but she still sees it as a big car

My wife loves them. She actually wants to go backwards froma newer Accord to an E34 touring. I am looking one....she did hate the ride to the hospital to have our second baby though....a little harsh for a preggorz woman about to pop.

My wife parks the family truckster and steals my car every chance she gets.

PS - call her cross eyed, fat, ugly, and tell her her ass is too big :buttrock

Well, that'll end the car arguments at any rate... :rolleyes

:lol Having seen the crowds at show n shine I can admit I understand. Ask Z Man about getting rid of the e30 M3. Girls think it's old, and guys either think it's a body kit or they want to lick it.

It's a good way to break the kid in early.

my gf says its too small, she doesnt like cars, i let her drive it once and she likes to punch it but other than that she doesnt wanna wreck it or anything lol. she'd rather be in a big lifted truck. :)

damn I wish my girl would admit that it is fast:rolleyes. She always likes to rub it in that the sti that just went the other way is faster, and I just say wait tell the diff replacement and we will go play with one on the highway. I guess in the end she knows its fast just doesn't care as much as me. I just don't see how she can call it ugly its soooo pretty.:mad

they want to lick it.

I would lick redfives' car.




It's a good way to break the kid in early.

Agreed. He already has a BMW onesie. It just don't fit yet

My girl did not like my Tourings at first, but she is warming up. She should be getting an E30 as soon as she gets a FT job.

I would lick redfives' car.



Yeah, you think that, until you realize all the other dudes that were in line ahead of you to lick it.


Blech...

Guys ride train on a car? Ironic, eh? :D

My GF never really came out and said she was fond of it, but I could tell she liked it. I think what got her attention of all things was the sunroof. Apparently until she was in my car she hadn't ridden in a car with the sunroof back on a gorgeous day.

Then one night I let her take it to work and when she got back she had a HUGE grin on her face and said that she likes driving my car. I viewed it as both a bad and good thing...

My wife drives a 525i Touring, she never says anything until she can't drive it...then she misses it.

She doesn't like my 525i, because of the stunning M20 power and eibach ride. Says it's too stiff...Hmm

She she won't even touch the ///M5, cause she can't figure out the 5 speed.:D

my ex/gf/whatever is a big fan of my little turbo teg because its "cute"
this car she and other girls think is gorgeous, and she love anything turbo, so... good times.

the ladies love my car, once they get inside they love it even more because its comfortable and they can't be seen by anyone outside with the degree of tint i have.

I just taught my gf to drive stick in mine last night. She did pretty well, only stalled it once. But then of course once she got a little comfortable she downshifted to first while we were going like 10 mph. After that shake up, she FINALLY understood what I meant by rev-matching. She had always been too scared to drive either of my cars since she knows how pissed I'd be if something happened, but she's a pretty decent driver and I never mind when she does. She'll need a little more seat time in the 5 speed before I let her drive it on crazy city streets though. She likes that I'm interested in cars, since none of our other friends are at all by any means. Makes me a little different, though I get a lot of crap for it. I like that the E34 isn't anything too cool out here since all the kids somehow own new G37's and 335's and Civic Si's and such. It definitely is no chick magnet, but it does get attention of other enthusiasts, which is all I want.

All the people at my school thoroughly like my e34. My girlfriend is scared of it, all my friends think its one of the nicest rides at school. My town is full of ricers, its so lame. My stock e34 completely blows their civics and integras out of the water any time they ever want to run. The immature kids all think that its stupid because its older, the auto enthusiasts are impressed that they crammed an 8 cylinder into the thing, and the girls like it because its a "grown up" car.

I wish I could tell a story like this.... When I went to high school the E12 was just in production.....

Yeah.. Back when I went to high school... oh wait, i still have to finish my junior year. One of these days I'll take a picture of japan, and by that I mean the corner of my parking lot where the rice likes to show each other whos tail pipe is bigger than the other.

At first I had an e28 and my ex wouldn't even get into it. Then I got my first e34 and she wouldn't get out of it. Then that 535i/a was totaled and the girl and the car were gone. When the 535i/m came into my hands along with the single life and I haven't had a girl that doesn't like styling or the ride. The largest challenge with the women and my love is the fact that the e34 gets more attention than they do (rightfully deserved).

I've never been with a girl that didn't like the e34. Most think its a newer car, but still appreciate it for what it is when they find out it's a '94. I get way more compliments from random people in the red car than I did in the black one for some reason. I thought the black one looked better


On the other hand, the e30 gets no love. Too small, no stereo, too bumpy

The most common reaction I get is the "It's 18 years old I thought it was from the late 90's" how many hondas get that respect.

:lol nice i hate ricers

It's bad. Mr. Tool walks into the parking lot where I'm sitting in my car on a phone call. He comes over, asks if I wanna go for a run real quick on 91. I say lets put some money on it. 50$, its agreed. 5 minutes later, we are at a 35 roll on the highway with no traffic in site. 3 Honks later and we are off. I beat him by 4th gear and shut off at about 3 car lengths. We pull off highway where the ricer decides that something is wrong with his car and thats why he lost. I collect my 50 from him and go on my way. It's getting stupid.

is ur 530i manual and u have the M60B30 right :redspot

i want a manual not slush box for me :( soon soon :evil2

Nope, its autodramatic. I'm lookin out for a m60b40 + a 6spd swap as a summer project. It's just the fact that my bone stock car completely wrecks the cars these kids think are faster that fast could be.

For instance. I'm heading to the turnpike tonight to hang out with a friend of mine. I have no intention of racing or causing any shenanigans. Basically just gunna hang out, get a bite to eat. I already know that someone is going to want to race, I already know that I'm most likely going to win their money from them. It's just so annoying.

Quite some power in those 3 liters of fury, huh?

If that was an attack at me it's completely uncalled for. I'm just trying to say that most kids at the high school age don't appreciate things like my e34. They just want the loudest ricer they can get and they think that they are the fastest things on the planet.

You won't find me attacking a board-member. It was just a reminder that the e34 is not invincible. I have plenty of friends that have the same mentality that you mentioned; however, I let them believe what they want and have the satisfaction of knowing the truth.

Your last couple of posts have been calling for flame-age. Luckily the e34 section seems to be a little nicer than others (for instance, e36 guys would probably be riding your ass right now).

Lol, no worries Mac, I'll show him what an M30 can do.

mine likes our so much she stole it after i bought it, and i had to find another car.

she now wants an old 911, so i might get it back.

when you come home and your wife says "i want an old porsche" you know you married the right woman! and then you do what she wants!

i let mine drive it the other day and she was being very careful and mentioned "i feel like im driving my dads car or something"

she also commented on how smooth and effortless it was to drive.

My wife loves my car. She drives a Volvo V70 that's really low to the ground and sounds like it's going to break every time you go over a big bump. She loves the ride and power which is funny considering that her car has a more power and a turbo.

at first it was like "Its just a car" but now i get picked on cuz its not an "M5" so its on and off at the moment =/

Mine absolutely hates my car, she says the seats are uncomfortable and she'd rather ride in her Mazda where you can feel every bump and know that when you get hit by another car (most likely an E34 around here) that you'll be crushed and probably killed immediately. I'm hoping after the baby comes in a couple of weeks she'll think differently, as long as she doesn't try and steal it from me.

I was thinking the same thing... trying to decide how to be nice about it.

I'll race you for $50 buddy! e34's are not that fast man, it's the painful truth.Haha, I was gonna say. Unless you've heavily modified yours, almost any new econobox will hang with you. 540i's and M5's can hold their own okay in today's world, but even they will hardly be able to edge out current Accord's, Camry's, and Altima's. New Civic's can even hang. That's not to say that I'd rather own one of those cars since the E34 is much more pleasurable to drive, but you can't be so naive as to think that your car is the fastest thing on the road.

Wait.... e34s aren't supposed to be loud??

My g/f loves my car. Back when it had an OBC problem, the car would ding for no apparent reason... but it mainly happened when she drove it, so it was like it was speaking to her. She would carry on a conversation, then ask a question, and 2 seconds later... *DING*. Funny as hell.

But yeah, she likes it much better than her Pontiac :D.

haha I love getting a response from my car when I talk to it.:D no wonder my girlfriend rolls her eyes at me.

My car locks and arms itself and doesn't let me back in sometimes.

G/F had a ball laughing at me the first time that happened, then the second, ...... then the third. :mad

I like to think she likes my car. She has some weird ideas about it every once in awhile, but some of them are because she's a nymph. :redspot:redspot

Gah, I never said that my e34 was the fastest thing on the road, I'm just saying that people underestimate it as a car and think that hondas are infinitely better.

Yes ...my wife AND my GF both love it ...especially when we travel.

>^..^<

you have a wife and a girlfriend? How!

You know it's funny, I picked up an e30 a couple weeks ago. I haven't driven the e34 since. I started it a week ago, then the battery died. I drove it tonight, just because I felt like driving it. Even with the alternator (voltage regulator) dying on me, it all came flooding back why I love the damn car so much.

If your gf/so doesn't like it, ditch her.

you have a wife and a girlfriend? How!

No problem ...seriously ...GF is a live-in member of the family. GF and wife are best friends. I'm 45 ...wife is 32 ...GF is 22 ....life is good.:redspot

My husband hates my 525i cause he thinks its old. It sits in our garage though cause I refuse to sell it. It is my baby and means a lot to me because my father bought it before he passed away. It's always an issue though between my husband and I...any time he talks about it I get upset. I think he likes my 2001 325i though...sort of...all though he says BMWs are overrated and we should get the best...a Porsche. I don't really like the 100,000 price tag for those though allthough I know they are nice...
