HAHAHAHAHA I couldn't agree more. I love my girl but I would leave her before I left my car. Plus a girl that complains like that and says sh*t regarding her ex like that is going to cause some serious issues in the future. She wont be happy with anything you do unless it is in her favor. I have had that type before. THEY ARE NOOOOOOO GOOD!!!! Tell her if she doesnt like the car then she can get out and call one of her ex's that she likes to talk about and she can get in their Ford Touras and rock out in that piece of sh*t car!

Why would you put up with that??? She's effectively calling you a **** to your face and getting away with it. I cant recall you saying what it was that you actually liked about this girl other than spending your money on her? If you say you have more fun with the car than her then thats not a healthy position.

Lets all face it, there are definitely stereo types associated with a Porsche. Just ask Jeremy Clarkson...

Having said that, I could give a crap about what other people think of me driving a Porsche. Hell I came from the Mitsubishi Evolution world, and that also came along with a stigma of "Ricer Boy" just ask all the freaking cops that pulled me over on a monthly basis.

I drive cars because of the way they feel, the way they push me back in my seat, and how it gets my adrenaline pumping.

I certainly dont drive this car to impress my girlfriend, and to be completely honest I could care less about what she thinks.

As far as what I like about this girl, lately it hasnt been a whole lot, and the "car issue" is just one more thing.

At least Ill be riding off into the sunset on a PORSCHE!

got to agree with you on the C4S......

seriously, my wife hates mine (she liked the 993). but she loves that I drive it and that I love it and it make me happy.

I guess, one reason we made it to 38 yrs of marriage, is that she is for anything that makes me happy. And I for her.

if you "girlfriend" isn't going to fight and sacrifice to make you happy, and you for her, what's the point.

My wife has always loved riding in the C4S... When I first picked it up I had her drive it to work a few times and she complained about how it was hard to drive in heels, and she was always afraid she was flashing people getting in and out of it in a skirt. This past weekend she drove it and said it was a completely different feeling driving it in sneakers and pants... I'm afraid she may be hooked now.

I had never considered that, and I'm sure my wife has not either... Something to consider.

Awesome!!!

My wife loves 911's (she thinks it's the perfect 'girls' car).

Her other favorite cars include:
Audi R8
Nissan GT-R
Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder
Aston Martin DB9

(Listed in order)

We have been trying to justify getting a 911 as her daily driver, and use the minivan for outings with the whole family.

My wife also refuses to ride in my C4S (PSS9s on hardest setting, GT3 sways and links and RS solid engine mounts) -- says it's like being in a roller coaster (giving up on telling me to "SLOW DOWN") and calls it "The Monster"!
