So what do your girlfriends/wives think about modding?

Replaced it with a boring FX35. I miss the Z every day. I really had it exactly were I wanted it. You don't appreciate how much fun that car is until it's gone.

Take a good look in the mirror and ask yourself, are you going to be happy with her controlling your life?

Yeah. I really don't have an answer.
I don't feel like myself any more though. That car was a part of me - my personality. It's odd for it to be completely gone now.
I tried modding the FX a little, but my heart just isn't in it like it was the Z. I figure one day though, when I'm older and can afford a second car, I will buy a Z just like the one I used to have and only drive it on really nice days. That's my dream at least.
I think she just felt I needed a more "grown up" car. I convinced myself that that's what I wanted as well. Sold what I had worked on so hard for the past few years before I was ready to.

pretty much every girl will hate it whether they tell you or not. you see a HKS exhaust, rims, etc, they see money that you could have spent on them. jealousy, greed is an ugly thing. my good friend's wife always comes out to the garage and whines he spends too much time working on the car. translation: "im an attention ***** and you need to spend more attention to me." he gets in trouble...i just laugh at the situation. are people really that insecure these days....

Sorry you no longer have the Z dude. Long before i joined this forum, i used to lurk around here and just read information about the Z... hoping to get it one day. Your car was one of my favorites and was deff a contributing factor in me wanting to get a Z in the first place.

from reading your posts in the past, i can honestly say that you are one of the few that has your head on straight.

I just hope you end up with a guy that can appreciate the fact that he's with a car nut. I'd be sad if you were wasted on with a guy that questions you for spending too much time/money on your car.

if he doesn't approve, his *** is getting kicked to the curb. i wouldn't change my true self for someone else, it would straight up be living a lie. i'd just end up bitter and angry at them.

Don't feel sorry for me. I'll be back in the game soon. Getting rid of the Z was ultimately my choice. Life lesson learned. Sometimes you have to make the wrong choice before you know whats right. I thought about getting another one and heavily modding it. Wouldn't be the same though. Lookout for me in a couple years when the GT-R is available. I have a funny feeling the girlfriend won't be getting first priority then.

another dumb guy question(at least for my case): why is it that I find "alot" of times girls have more control over guys?!....it's soo hard for me to "kick a girl to the curb" instead, I just submit....and do prty-much anything to make her happy at the same time, me on the other hand.....will?!.....kindda get lost?!.....
heeewww....I asked my fiance this one time and....jeeez....she blew her head-gasket.....saying....."if you feel being controled....then you're in a wrong relationship and this.....and that.....yadayadayada!!!!"....

guys won't admit it but they're just as afraid of ending up alone as most girls, which is why they'll put up with a lot of **** from girls [the 'control' youre talking about]
personally ive never had that fear. i could give a rat's ***, really. i'm probably too selfish, which is one of the reasons i dont want kids, either. i mean i can't speak for all girls, i can only speak for myself. and i know that pretty much any time i've come close to being in a serious relationship i freak out and run away.. committment scares me like no other. i also HATE the idea of being owned by a guy..and most guys have that feeling about their girlfriends/wives. they're a possession. i am not an object to be owned.
end of mini rant.
