You know, it seems to me that women think that men become like little children when they buy a car. Don't you think so? I came to such a conclusion because my wife usually says that men are so happy at that moment (they are even eager to clap their hands and jump from joy), they start to care about their cars like little children care about new toys - they are eager to fuss over their cars and their spend almost all free time with their beloved "toys" and spend all money on their hobby. I think that this picture is familiar to many people. 

I personally can see such a picture every day. We bought a bike for our 7-year old son. He is so proud of it. He adores it. And I was greatly surprised that in several months my son came to me with his piggy bank and asked me to buy for this money a cover for his bike in order rain and dust won't spoil it. I was impressed. I certainly returned money to my son and we together chose Cheap street bike covers on the Internet.

My wife says that she can see such a picture when she looks at me and my car. She dislikes when I spend a lot of time in a garage or after I receive salary I say that I need to shop for car deflectors or buy discount Uniroyal tires. She says that in such moments she wants to kill me (LOL).  

Not long ago I made Volvo tuning without saying about it to my wife. I expected that she would be angry or at least say her usual words that I'd better buy something to a son, but she liked it. Maybe women get accustomed to cars and their needs after some time passes?

And even now, when I write this hub, I have other several Internet pages open and one of them is a Car floor mats store. My wife doesn't know about it, but I'm sure that now she will understand me. I even start to think that she has become to like our car.

Good luck you and your car!
