Minitrucker GF

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by bagged astroMy wifes not into it at all.But she does put some input into it.Like I havent had a bd truck for awhile and she tells me the next one I build I need to body drop it.But she will tell me right away if she thinks an idea is stupid.The only thing she really hates is when I get home from work I go right to the guarge and work on my truck and dont spend any time with her.But shes use to it now after 7 years she expects it.But sometimes she will come and help.---------------------------------------------

LOL,, i think we might married to the same damn woman...thats what my wife does, word for word...

depends on what your definition of "minitruckin lifestyle" is.

is it hanging with some guys at a shop or in a garage and wrenching on trucks all hours of the night? or is it acting like a dumbass at every show, every chance you get whilst being drunk and slurring at girls passing by?

because most any girl wont go for the second.

I guess Im realy lucky mine actually found me when she come to me to bag her s-10. And for those that dont know my wife is Jenn Lacy with the pink s-10(chix ride) Sucks when your wife has a cooler ride than you. I just have to remind her that I built it and had a cover truck 4 years before her.

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by redspowerjams i told mine before we got mairried, if she ever gets in the way of me building trucks then i would leave her ass.  married for 17 years and still going strong..

---------------------------------------------Nice

most of the girls i have been with have been ok about it. my girlfriend now seems real into it. she wants to go to shows bad and meet other club members and what not. i'm trying to expand her vocab. i straighten her out everytime i hear her say "babe, did you see that pimped out truck?" "wtf??? you mean did i see that dime bodydropped on 20's? lol i just got her a '99 blazer so hopefully she'll let me cut that up, or at least lower it. lol

I am lucky as well, I met my girl here on SSM.  We have been together for almost 8 years now.  We have lived in 3 states together and formed Graphic Disorder together 7 years ago.  Some of you are walking around with her artwork on you/your clothing/your trucks/your businesses.  So I feel lucky, she doesn't get in the way of me doing trucks either and when I decide to do another one some day she will be there with support im sure.

Assuming you aren't an asshole, act like a dumbass, punk minitrucker that just likes to destroy shit, I would say just be yourself go to the shows, cruise your truck and the girl of your dreams will more than likely find you. My wife of 20 yrs has been supportive from day one because I had a mini when she met me. Now she tells me what I should do next to the truck.  If you have respect for yourself, your truck and the people around you then she will respect you back even if it's not what she's into; and be supportive of your passion for minitruckin'.  

I got lucky as well. Known her for about 5 years, she always talked to me, and liked the truck, but it also helps she grew up in an automotive family, drag racing at the local tracks herself, being around and helping her dad at their shop and with the drag cars (rail, bike, body car etc). It was a given once I realized she was single and she realized i was lol. We have a wonderful 3 month old daughter, house etc. Her great grandma is giving her the great grandfather (passed away in september 06, 14 days after my wife lost her father to cancer) 1977 Ford f100. It's got the sportside/flareside bed on it. It's not getting bagged or anything. Going to be lowered on some wide whites and beef up and redo the 351 that her dad and great grandpa put in it, repaint and basically make like he would have wanted etc. If she doesnt like or cant take the fact that you work on/build trucks and go to shows, she aint worth it.

MY WIFE IS COOL WITH THE SCENE. SHE IS A NURSE AND SAYS ME AND MY FRIENDS HAVE A SICKNESS. SHE ALSO LETS ME KNOW WHAT SHE THINKS WILL LOOK GOOD OR NOT. I GOT LUCKY!!!

i think i'm very lucky, my wife says i work hard, so i could do whatever i want on my truck. she recommends i put a billet specialties serpentine belt on my bbc, and insists i should put those webber carbs i also want... basically, she agrees with my signature and approves...
