Can I rant

Yep, like many of the experienced guys said, you're too young to be tied down to a gal that's not into what you're in to. I went to the Nats with friends because my wife doesn't do cars or car shows. I observed many husband/wife teams having a great time and enjoying life and each other with a common hobby that they're both passionate about. Perfect! Doesn't get any better than that! Think twice about what's most important to you. You may not be able to "have it all" with this gal. tmm
