My Dad actually talked me into trading in a boring spec civic for a CTR even though I'd only owned the boring one for 3 months, and my GF is pretty chuffed with the splitters I've ordered for it - and she wants me to refurb the wheels black, which I'm not keen on - but shows she doesn't mind me dumping cash into it!

GF puts up with it, dad is fine as he was the same (but to a lesser extent) and mum puts up with it cos of my dad 
Although my mum hates my current car, cos of the buckets and harnesses

Dads a mechanic his cool, but constantly nags me about it being so low.

Parents were bothered how much I used to spend but always knew wasn't being pissed up against a wall etc.
GF doesn't seem to mind it but her family have always been into Motorcross so shes kinda used to it!

My wife loves it purely because she drives the car 80% of the time and she's a total poser

Mrs hates it and have to hide it when I spend more money on the car, dad doesnt see the point as there is no profit in it and no one else is too fussed really

although my dad hates it he always questions why im buying whatever part for and do i need it for.
i always refer to the faded anodized red bolts he bought for the busa, 'do you really need pink bolts dad, do they really make it go faster or even still look good,  im sure barbie had a bit of style rite?'

My parents used to moan quite a lot, whenever I was buying anything on my old Corsa, they'd question it. They'd rarely get in it, infact my Mum never went in it after I fitted my buckets, which was back in '08. Nowadays they don't bother though, my mum told me to get a rollcage after I crashed my old Corsa, I was already planning to anyway s since I bought that she's just left me to it but then they've only seen my track car once so it may be more of a case of out of sight, out of mind. Either that or they're just happy I'm keeping my fast driving to the track now rather than going back road hunting in the Corsa. I've never had a missus to nag me about it
