Some people just don't get it!
Here's a dating tip if you want to raise the odds of your potential future wife being OK with your car hobby-
Date or marry a girl that drives a vehicle with a manual transmission.
NOT kidding. 100% serious.
My future wife drove a 5 speed s-10, owned an air compressor, and requested "Triumph" the first time I played songs from my music collection for her.
That covered my car hobby, my mechanical interests in general and assured a reasonable match on musical tastes.
Win, Win, Win.
