My wife catches me...

[550rwhp]

So, my wife catches me sitting on the garage floor with a drink looking at the FGT and asks me what I was doing. I told her admiring the lines of the car and how it just screams speed. Before I can tell her any more about the car, she walks back into the house stating that I have issues and should seek professional help.

She doesn’t get it, but that's ok.

I know, with all the man cave pictures I have seen, there are others that sit and do the same. Please tell me I am not alone. Did your significant other have the same or different reaction?

Believe me you are not alone. I love sitting in the garage listening to music and admiring the cars. It's great therapy.

One of my favorite pastimes...

Mine knows where to find me if I'm not in the house. She understands though. She can't feel the same way I do, but I know she thinks the GT is amazing.

I believe most on this forum totally understand what you've stated above, just like enjoying washing your car - it's therapy!

Enjoy,

Lance

My ex hated (probably still does too) the GT. Went to a car show locally, and just as she was commenting on how nice many of the people were about the car, this hot babe in her 30s came by and started fawing over the car. The killer was she tried to sit in my lap.... while I was still standing up. Wives don't go for that stuff...

Obviously, she wasn't a "keeper." :frown :lol

I walk around with a microfiber and spray wax...so I FEEL like I'm not just looking.

After working for FordMotor Co. for 35 years, coming home pumped up about new cars or concerned about design issues ...modeling clay packed on the bottom of my shoes or shock oil in my clothes or tough business meetings... Margaret (who worked for Ford Motor Co. for 27 years ) fully understands the ''car/truck blue colored blood that flows'' ...so I guess I am a bit lucky although at times she thinks I am juvenile...

I have used the microfiber and detail spray trick too... it works very well when she comes to the garage and I am spraying one of her cars too..
I think we are all addicted...

We are all very sick, but I'm ok with that. I'm a little surprised that there's not a wivesofGTforum forum where they can commiserate about us.

Hey Andy!!! Yes I have the same affliction...but my wife thinks its better than a 20 something girlfriend...and I know it's a lot less expensive!

LOL! I built a 1600' ft garage just for that! I spend time down there just walking around my cars and looking at them. My wife comes down and says "what are you doing, you've been down here for hours." Half the time I don't have a clue what I've been doing but it sure has been fun!

Stop looking, leave the drink and DRIVE!

If it works, take the wife. If that's not her bag, as long as you keep the lap girls out of the car, you should be OK.

Use the microfiber and the detailer after you drive, when you actually need it.

Funny, I was just going to say that!

Many times when Mrs. Spirit catches me in the garage with the GT, she will just sit down beside me and also stare at it, words are not necessary.
I am a fortunate man.
