Where can I find a mopar babe?
From experience I can say that sharing the major interests is important but it's the day-to-day fundamentals that keep you going. If you have the same values towards money, family and life you can weather the stuff this world will throw at you.
Agreed. I chased a cute girl who loved driving and posing with her bright blue 1990 Daytona Shelby. Did it qualify her as a mopar gal, though...? She thought my 66 Barracuda was an embarrassment in our garage, too ugly to ride in (no kidding, she actually chose to walk home once...)
After many years, it's nice to stumble across a woman who accepts me for not only my inner child and "inner gearhead" but lots of other qualities as well. (Very few people are one-dimensional.) She doesn't give a hoot about cars, but she likes to see me happy, and knows that the time spent swearing at underhood systems strangely provides that. She's even started enjoying the humor in listening to Car Talk with me, which is frankly closer to "car babe" than I ever expected her to be. She'll ride in a rusty bomb or a shiny muscle car, doesn't phase her. And she knows I like seeing her happy, too, as I encourage all her various non-car endeavors.
She even waits at bedtime for me to finish writing this drivel, despite not understanding why I would. ;)
It took awhile (and a lot of soul searching and learning) for this gift to fall into my lap. But I'll accept it any day, as opposed to searching for that elusive Mopar Babe I used to think I wanted.
