Default Baby, we need more tires

Shay (wife): Our friends last year had a terrible time getting Michelin tires for their GT3's.

Me: Yeah, it was great! I loved they had worn out tires, it was the only way we could get past them!

Shay: Baby, please get an extra set for the car that's on the boat. I don't want us to run out of tires and we have 5 track days already scheduled.

Me: Ok!

I learn something. Find a girlfriend or wife that likes the same passion as you. None of my gfs understood my obsession for racing, and it always caused fights.

You got it! We're happy to come over and help you out and discuss cars and car parts and how it's much better to get everything out in the open.

Shared passions make all the difference in the world. I met Shay at a Porsche Club Skills Day where she was an enthusiastic volunteer.

Wives and girlfriends don't have to love what we love, but when they support our interests the difference is huge in how this sport / passion / obsession feels.

Only way to keep wifey quiet about tires is to jack up her car and put her Hoosiers on.
