RB_Shaggs Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 my wife tolerates it, at least i have a hobby. i just sometimes lack motivation and i keep bringing more home but not taking any away.. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 I told my wife "I can spend time working on the Dattos, or wasting money at the strip club. You make the call." :D perfect :D im using this tonight!!! my wagon outlasted my marriage ... she ended both around the same time :cursing: :fu: my new GF(3mos) likes that i actually completed something, since she let me use half her garage. was a bit imtimidating for her to see the entire rear end and tranny strewn around the garage and the car up on blocks. shes not really a datsun fan, but does likes the way it makes her vibrate :lol: (im gonna fix that ya know) "the sedan is cute, but not as cute as you" :w00t: ill be getting to finish the wagon in there now :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
73super Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 If you fix it up nice enough to where it gets comments when your out cruising around and she's riding with you.. she'll get into it. The gals love the attention and if you get people complementing the ride she'll turn into a supporter of your habit... at least that one. :) Quote Link to comment
shane_lxi Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 My wife would love it if I liked to hike and travel but I would love it if she could hold a drop light for me or hand me a 13mm box end wrench and a PBR:cool::fu: My girlfriend (4 years) keeps trying to get me into photography. She owns a photography buisiness (not bad for a 20 year old girl). It's the same deal mang :D. She'd love for me to be into photography, and I'd love for her to come out and help me turn wrench for a bit :D. She's getting better, she even said that when I get rid of 2 of my 240's and one of my 521's I can get another project!! (Leaving me with 1 240, and 1 521 :( ) Quote Link to comment

LeX Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 my gf's brother actually is into 510s and 521s so she's been around that a lot. She liked my 280z and she thinks the 510 is cute. I don't live with her but we are planning on getting a house with a mutual friend and I get the garage :D Quote Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 My wife of 14 years tolerates my Datsun habbit. But my daughters are into working on my cars with me...so it's daddy and daughter time, my wife doesn't argue. But.....she doesn't always go with the flow when I want to "up-grade" something that works just fine, so I usually have to find a way to break it then she is more amenable.:eek: Crap......I hope she does not read this post!! :lol: Quote Link to comment
elizabethraab Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 My boyfriend now is much more interested in my riding skills. But once I get the engine supped up in my 411 I think he might make a switch! For now it seems to be my project that isn't avoidable (daily drive and restoration project), but isn't the most exciting in his agenda either. He very much appreciates my interest in both cars and bikes though so it all works out in my favor. Quote Link to comment
lynchfourtwenty Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 i could barely get my last gf to ride in my truck.. the one i got now has drivin it.... ONCE Quote Link to comment
skunk Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 iv been reading 3 year old threads all day, just thought i would bring one back from the dead. My girl (jassifras) spent a good part of the day fixing the brakes on her datsun. Im sure glad my girl is ok with my darsuns other wise well........ it just wouldnt work. 1 Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Had to go grocery shopping with Mrs.d. She asked me to go back in and check the back door was locked. When I come out she's in the driver's seat. <_< 's fine, all part of my plan. We need a goon. Quote Link to comment
KELMO Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 My wife says my datto is my midlife crisis and that its better than a mistress. Says she won't ride in it until the interior is done. But she is cool with me dinkin around the garage all weekend if I want so I guess that means shes OK with it........I think Quote Link to comment
freekwonder Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 My wife is very understanding about my hobbies and never complains, unless her car can't be in the garage for too long or there is crappy weather. When it comes to looks/visual things I usually ask her opinion. She helps when she can or understands what's going on. She understands I love my Datsun, but it is a different kind of love. lol. Coworkers tried giving her shit a few times and asked her how she could let me spend money working on cars. She said it's a good hobby and it's better than me out at the bars all the time drinking and cheating on her. Quote Link to comment
FoxyRoadster Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Mine loves my datto, they even did a bunch of sanding on it tell I took a scraper and scraped all the paint off they tried to sand off.. :lol: I even got them interested in pinstriping which should be really awesome...

Guest DatsuNoob Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Dont have one any more, not a problem :lol: Whenever I grow tired of pretending to care about the interests of random chicks during conversation, I casually mention my datsun fetish when they hand the mic over to me :D Some ladies are cool with it, others (the rejects) have curled their lips or wrinkled their noses in disgust. They usually get the "You're dumb anyway, have a good night" routine. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) My girl hates my ugly car Edit: That hoe got to my computer while I was baking cookies She actually LOVES datsuns. I'm looking for a 620 to get for her ;) Edited July 25, 2010 by metalmonkey47 Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 My wife tolerates my 521. She lets me pretty much do whatever I want with it. It takes us out on date night every once in a while. One rule though, she likes it as long as it stays running. I think thats easy enough. I have Ratsun! :D Quote Link to comment
wildmaninid Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 My wife Collette is amazing I must say. She isn't a datsun fan (yet) but she loves the ones I restored before we got married. SHe appreciates my hard work and talent. She was even supportive when I sold my last builder (that we were gonna keep and not sell) it was a 2007 dodge ram.....hemi, crewcab, leather nav sunroof LOADED. I told her I wanted to off it and get a 620 and get back on the datsun wagon. She got a 99 chevy blazer out of the deal and I got my Datsun again. If anything needs bought or done she is cool with it. I like that when it comes to the snap-on truck or the Datsun, if I think it needs it, I know we can afford it, just do it and explain why it's gonna be awesome. Bill Quote Link to comment
