Her credit sucks, so I put mine down for her to get her used 2008 Jeep Liberty that gets her from A to B and does the grocery\hardware store runs. It's my credit, but her money pays the payments. She likes it well enough.
I thank God everyday I am NOT with a "car girl". I have no desire to have THAT much in common with a "significant other"...there would be money fights. I am POSITIVE of that. I love the fact that I don't have to "ask permission" to do shit. I get sick of the car I have, want a new one, and have the money? I go fucking buy it (as I did with the BMW I have now). The conversation concerning the purchase went like this: "I am going to Houston with my buddy and coming back in a 135i." (I had showed her pics of it previously while shopping). Her response was "Ok, baby, you and your buddy have fun for the weekend."

That's how relationships should be. I too have no desire to be with a girl that likes cars/engineering or art. (those are what i'm into) If she is, that's fine. If not, that's fine too.
