Quote HistoryQuoted: So you aren't at all attracted to a woman's appearance and only care about her personality? Let's flip it around. You know how lots of times here on arfcom when someone shares a pic of super hot woman and there is something crazy happening in the background, but someone says they didn't see it? Ya know, because the woman is so hot, they didn't even notice the crazy shit going on in the rest of the picture? A woman that doesn't notice what car I got out of..."I am sorry....he got out of a nice car? There was car?". Now I am interested. Again, my views don't have to be everyone else's. I am ok with that. There are plenty of women in the world who will only start talking to a guy because he has some flashy shit. If that's what that guy wants, I am ok with that, too. |

My car could have a wheel missing and wifey wouldn’t realize it until she drove it to her destination, shopped, and then come out of the store to see that the other side of the car didn’t look right.

Pro tip- Drive your wife’s car every couple of weeks.
She is not going to tell you her car is starting hard and her brakes are squeaking until Sunday night when the parts store is closed and she is driving 2 hours to her sisters in the morning. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Expanding on the subject, the nastiest trade ins I appraised over the years belonged to young single women and soccer moms minivans. Filthy without fail, and always needing something mechanical. I like clean cars. My wife cleans her own and I help. My oldest daughter, if left to her own devices, would have a car filled with trash, dried coffee everywhere, and a smell of rotting food if I did not make her clean it or simply OCD and clean it myself. |

I don't think I'd make such a broad and general statement.
 Before my wifey was disabled she could change oil, lube the suspension, change tires/brakes, do tune ups (yes even on older cars with points), etc. She worked on bikes too. She couldn't pull a motor and rebuild it, change a clutch or rebuild a rear-end or transmission by herself but she's always been pretty good with cars and other mechanical things. And yeah she was a Southern California Newport Beach baby 10. What the hell she was ever doing with me I'll never know. |

It's not that they are attracted to the items you possess but what the items tell the girl about you. Nice material things can tell a woman things like: 1) You have worked hard and are stable enough to provide those things for yourself. 2) Others trust you and are willing to give you a nice paying job or hire you for your services. 3) You're an adult, have goals, and not just some kid living on a couch. Let's also be real here - Most girls aren't going to see your car, your house, your toys before you actually start a conversation with them. The idea of "I don't want a girl who likes me for my material possessions" is kind of silly because them seeing those things first is often not the case. |

I'm glad I married my wife. She's very low maintenance and very smart. Her first real job was at Champion Auto so she could get parts at cost for her Datsun 310. She has a more knowledge and ability than 99% people in America when it comes to automobiles.
She's also scraped the rims of every new vehicle we've purchased. It seems to happen within 2 weeks of owning it. |

This is what you told me was important viewing for me. "Men have nice cars, not because they like nice cars, but because they know, that women like nice cars". I disagree. This is not important viewing for me and I feel that for me, it is horrible advice. I would not own a particular vehicle, because women like it. You don't need to feel the same way or agree, people are not all the same. You get to decide what is important, for you. |

Jill: Tim! You still here? Tim: Oh yeah. [Tim washes his hands at the sink] How long has the oil light been on, Jill? Jill: [Puzzled] Oil light? Tim: The oil light. Uh, next to the spedometer. Little red light with an oil can on it. Jill: Oh! That thing! I don't know. Two or three days. Tim: Two or three days?! It's a warning light! Didn't it occur to you that there might be a little problem? Jill: I thought if there was a problem with the car that the light would get brighter, or there would be a buzzer! Tim: A buzzer?! It's a car not a game show! Jill: Tim! The car is running fine. Tim: It used to be running fine. Inside of a car is an internal combustion engine composed of many precision parts running at a high rpm. High rpm. produces friction. Friction produces heat. Heat is dissipated by lubrication: oil! When the car didn't get the oil that it needs, it tends to seize up into a rock! Jill: Are you saying the car's not running? Tim: [Exasperated] We now own a four thousand pound, four-door boulder! Jill: You mean I can't drive it? Tim: Not unless you're Wilma Flintstone! |

This statement is generally true. My ex-wife put exactly zero effort into learning anything about cars beyond how to put gas in it. However, she was very good at noticing when any little thing felt "off" and could articulate it to me fairly well for diagnosis.
My mom is the same. Zero knowledge but good at detecting it when something wasn't right. My sister in law is far worse. Knows how to put gas in her vehicle, but notices and says nothing until the fucking thing WILL NOT MOVE any more. My dad loaned them a 1968 Cub Cadet garden tractor when they needed a mower. She mowed the grass with it three times and grenades the engine because she didn't check the oil. Damn tractor made it 50 years and she blew it up within a few months. Which brings me to the exception that proves the rule... My now wife and I met and hung out due to a common interest in diesel performance. Both of us were dating other people at the time we met, but would wrench on trucks together. Both our own and those of friends. Our specialty was/is Ford 7.3 diesels, both IDIs and Powerstrokes, with her PSD knowledge exceeding my own. She is an electrical genius, and can chase down an intermittent shorting rubbed wire or failed sensor like no one else I've known. My expertise is more on the mechanical side. We still take on repair work as side hustles even today. They ARE out there, but pretty rare. |
