Ha. I wouldn't put a forum member through the misery. I'll be choosing wiser next time.

Ive been to a few cars shows and all i can say is the "boss" and the "beast" are often one and the same judging by some of the crowd present....

If you were forced to make the decision i would chose the car... At least it doesn't give you attitude :

Im lucky that the mrs' swore to never make me chose the car or her... (I tried putting it into our wedding vows with no luck!)

hmmm the only reason she has a right to be angry is if you dont spend much time with her... from the sounds of it you really care about her so i dont think this is the case. she is just being unreasonable i think but no matter what this is a yucky situation.
my gf has no interest in cars and doesnt see a point when i spend money on mine. she doesnt care tho cuz it makes me happy and it doesnt interfere with us.

The Beast.

As for the boss, it would be better for you to be in the shed tinkering away with the beast rather than in someone else's bedroom tinkering away with another boss.

Does anyone here's missus have access to these forums and what's been posted? Hehe. I have decided that until a girl comes along who enjoys cars as much as me, I'm happy being single.

That said it would make it easier to answer the poll if we had a pic of both first.....!
Totally agree with this post

Well done, not sure how you do it....I'm also divorced (twice now) , I work 5 days, earn a sizable salary but not well off by any stretch...Ahh thats it, my 2nd ex gets a big % of my salary in child support..I knew there must have been a reason

Won't be going back down the aisle anytime soon....having too much fun being single and refuse to split up my assets for a third time ...As the post above said, you can find women anywhere. I've been dating a lot in the past 2 years since the last split. I actually ended one of those relatiosnhips because the woman I was seeing moved to an apartment in the inner suburbs that didn't have any off street parking for my car when I visited her - such is my preference for Beast over Boss

Car FTW. If she makes you choose then she dosnt love/respect all of you. Not a good relationship.
My miss's gets the shlts a little bit when i spend alot of money on my car (22k and counting :P ) but she also understands it a hobby, plus she has like 60 pairs of shoes and god knows how many bags, accesories etc... imo thats a waste of money! lol
So we each have somthing to winge about! haha

There's only one beast. That boss comes with two dozen mini-bosses springing about.

You can't root your car...

I would get rid of "the beast" if I had to.

And if you are with your boss long enough you can't hit that either.
