I wouldn’t say I’m in a two–gearhead relationship, but I’m slowly converting her. She’s already told me “now I actually pay attention to cars”. The con is “before I didn’t care, but now I want an expensive awesome car!”
Step 2: show her the joys of cheap fun cars. Or at least cheaper than the new S–Class she wants (until we can afford it ; )

I would imagine a friendly competitiveness snowballing into outright rivalry if you both compete with your cars (not you specifically just in general).

I’m too broke (and possibly too bork) to be in a relationship.

Cars are in two different classes for AutoX and heads up drag racing is more about getting the car fast, not beating each other.

Get a toaster oven.
Normal toasters are so obsolete.

Which is why I was talking about in general. Not every case.

As with everything in a couple’s life you start assimilating one another’s tastes, passions and concerns. I’m pretty sure I know a LOT more about Graphic Design, Fashion, Anime and other stuff she loves and vice versa. Meaning she now identifies cars from a distance and would like a BMW 2002 as her first drive about (good 2002 are somewhat cheap here in Uruguay and new cars are EXPENSIVE), that or an E12 528i... which is the hero car of a comic she’s making with some friends, the bad guy’s is a MK-I Ford Capri RS. And you would not guess who pointed them in the unassuming-cool-old-cars direction.
TL.DR: I’m getting there.

My girlfriend thought her civic was RWD. Also, she leased it.
I’ve got a long way to go.

Hahahaha. I enjoyed this. The woman I am seeing now isn’t a gear head at all, but she’s sympathetic to my addiction so I think I got it good.

Yamahog and Travis are an item? Suddenly the world all makes sense. I’ve been confused a few times over the years not knowing this.
