He sells alot of vette/camaro parts. Don C. he hangs with the guys from Coastal Corvette auto salvage not sure if they are still open anymore.

I had a lowered 79 cutlass with 400 horse olds 350/th350 dual 3" flowmasters... no rust but needed paint. my fiancee didn't even like to walk past it in the driveway. she never once rode in it When I got my '72, I caught her staring at it out the window one day, when I asked her what she was looking at she told me to hurry up and get it done so she can ride in it. Guess no more oldsmobiles around here

My ex wife always liked my first truck, the old blue longhorn. She drove it plenty, and rode in it quite a bit too.
The second one.. .the 69 SWB GMC, she couldn't stand. Drove it around the block once, that was it. Rode in it quite a bit, but not by choice.
This one.... it never saw pavement while we were still married, and rode in it once... to and from our divorce. She just admited to me 2 days ago that she likes this one more than the first one, and would love to drive it.
Told her to kiss my ass.
Now... my girlfriend on the other hand.... she thinks it's cooler than any other beater she's seen, and even bought me a big block for it. (is that cool or what?) and loved cruising around in it, but did comment on the stereo not being loud enough.

No photos of the ex with any of mytrucks... and you wouldn't wanna see her anyways.
I do however, have a few photos of the girlfriend with it.... but I ain't postin those ones.

Took quite a bit of persuasion to get my wife to ride in the truck..... She does like it better when it is raining, as she gets to sit in the cab !

Just got the new cowl hood on and the hood pins in place. Yesterday was the first day home with the truck drivable. My sweetie has been asking for a ride for months, she knows how much I like the truck. Took her down to the 50s style diner for a burger and shake about 7:30. Her eyes lit up every time the tires did. Guess I'll keep 'em both. Will post a few pics tomorrow.
I always make it clear to my wife how much I like her. Maybe that is paying off some in other ways

[AR15DEFENSE]

after thinking about it, I do have a pic. I managed to get my fiancee L, and my buddies GF R, both in there....

My wife only drove the pickup once. Mind you, this was before I added power steering... We were at a friends house about a block away. I had too many beers and she couldn't drink because she was about 7 months pregnant at the time. Poor girl was outta breath by the time she made two left turns. I WISH I had a camera for that one!

But she absolutly HATES my trucks. She gets mad any time I even mention buying something. And she won't ride in em unless there's absolutly nothing else to drive. I wish there was a medication to fix that...

I'm so tired of "It's only an old truck" or "Its still an old truck".

new comeback? "You're still an old bit%*"

The only time she'll ride is towing the boat to go tubing or fishing with the grandkids!!

I'm sure she loves all the attention from the guys driving your truck!

Chloroform is probably your best bet…

My wife Kathy drives our Durango and has an attitude about it... lol

She told me she'd stay away from my truck, if I'd stay away from her horse.

[bigblockorange]

You guys can always make me laugh with your stories and pics. Since mine doesn't like cameras or trucks I guess I'll have to keep the thread alive!

10 years ago we were dating and I had the bed off for some cleaning. She rode into town like that one day, and when she saw us in the widows on the "square" (small town thing) she must have realized how it looked and wanted out. I didn't hesitate and pulled over to the curb and let her walk. I also took the opportunity to remind her the truck was there first. Since we got that got that straight, been married 5 years and the truck is still in the garage. And yes, she will drive it and I have some pics somewhere.

True Story:

I was going to see the girlfriend (now wife) at college and couldn't get into the dorm so I was sitting on the curb by my truck. Without exaggerating, one of the most natural beaties I've ever seen sits down right next to me on the curb. She's maybe 5'-10", long blond ponytail, country look, perfect features (like the Joe Dirt chick Brandy). She says "that's a '71 right?... I could tell by the door panels and the mirror, my uncle had the same truck and I have always wanted one, blue and white, just like yours." I was in shock. Then she says "how about we go for a ride?" I was even more shocked and about then the girlfriend came out to get me and I feebly said goodbye and never told that story to anyone. True.

my ex gf used to love my truck and still does actually, one of my cousins friends(6' tall blonde hair to her sholders) needed a lift the other day so i gave her a ride , she was grinning from ear to ear everytime i stompedon it from a red light, especially when i raced a 01 chevy pick-up

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are.

I wish my wife would understand that it costs money to work on these. She doesn't care that I have it or that I even work on it. She just looks at me in disgust when I mention buying something for it. Funny thing about that is I'm supposed to rebuild her 78 K20 (used to be her dads farm truck) when I'm done with mine.

My wife enjoys my truck as much as me.She helps me work on it.

i built my truck with an auto for one reason, and i hate auto trannies, so she would sit next to me again on the bench seat. no dice!!! she not only got mad at me for insisting that we take it but an actual argument over it. i spent 6 months building the f ing thing so we could cruise around in the summer and she wants to drive this crappy 07 cobalt.

she used to love riden next to me in my 4x4 till i put the stick in, its stayn stick so i figured it would be nice to have her at least ride in the shorty. shes driven the 4x4 when it was an auto once, wheeled it a little with the stick, but wouldnt shift it, i doubt she could handle the power that the shorty puts down.

[bigblockorange]

just added some pics still the ole lady won't ride in them!

[71tahoe]

Manual steering, 3 on the tree. My wife only drove mine to mow around/under it. 15' back and 15' forward. Burnt up a clutch.

I found this pic today. We drove the C10 to my wifes graduation last May (2006) and left straight from there for Maggie Valley.
