Unbelievable wife comments --I can't be the only one
 

So, my in-laws and I were just reminising about some great moments in the past about my wife Cassie and her lack of knowledge realted to anything automotive.

True Story

I was taking Cassie home to meet my folks for the first time. We were driving from college in So Cal to my folks place in Nor Cal. We stop about half way there at a gas station in ButtonWillow to fill up. To my surprise, she says to me, "I"ll pump the gas this time, why don't you go inside and get something to drink?" This confirmed my suspicions that she was indeed the right woman for me. Then she asks me the following question "Do you want the old gas, or the new gas". I'm half way across the island now and stop and look back--"What?" I ask. "Do you want the old gas, or the new gas"? she replies. Guess I did hear it right the first time. Still puzzled, I start to walk back towards the car. "What do you mean, old gas or new gas?" I ask. "Oh, I'm sorry, I mean what year of gas do you want me to put in--87, 89 or 91?". I am awaiting her to at least smirk when she asks me this. There wasn't one--she was dead serious. My reply; "You know what Cassie, I really prefer the vintage fuel myself, hard to believe it's cheaper I know, but that's just the way gas works". The guy on the other side of us that I can see between the pumps, starts to get the giggles ---she looks at him and back at me--I start laughing---she says "What?"

To this day, 14 years later, we still do the same gig everytime we pull into the station--you want new gas or old babe?

This story, however was challenged later that evening when she came out to the garage with me to see my beloved 69 Camaro for the first time. And what do you think she said? "Ohhhhhhh Doug, I just love mustangs!". My dad puts his arm around me and says this out loud "It's to late to drive all the way back to So Cal now Doug, just leave with her first thing in the morning".

I hear this story every Thanksgiving from my folks.

LOL
thanks for that good read!
deff. put a smile on my face.:thumbsup:

OMG that's funny! Sadly my wife is smarter than me in that she knows when to keep her mouth shut. :cheers:

Old gas or new gas :rofl:

That's a new one! Thanks!:cheers:

that is funny stuff.

I have even heard old men call camaros, mustangs.

My wife knew very little about cars even growing up with her father owning a ford dealership. Now when we go to shows I quiz her on the makes, models, years and she is catching on.

The gas years is defintely funny. :lol:

That is pretty cool. Funny stuff right there.
And, she pumps the gas for you. GOOD DEAL!!:thumbsup: :cheers:

My wife is pretty slick around the shop...but there was this one time while doing a house project......

We were putting up a ceiling fan. It was getting late and I had limited light through the window.

I was being lazy and just turned the light switch off, stood on the bed, and yanked the fixture down and was busy twisting wires when.....

My wife came in the room and flipped on the switch (right after I let go of the black wire)....I was like "Turn it off...turn it off....what are you doing????"

She looked at me totally surprised...

"It was getting dark in here, and I figured you could use some light, so I tried to turn it on!"

LOL

Funny. Thanks for sharing.

That's good stuff! Thanks for sharing!

That was a good laugh. And my wife also knocked me off the ladder when I was installing a new light fixture and she turned the light on because it was to dark!

PS Do you still have that Mustang LOL

I love that thanks you made me laugh .
My wife is the most loving giving sweetheart of a woman BUT she trust me waaaaaaaay too much. This is the Friday after I got my 69 Camaro. I've been working on it all week changing fluids and priming it to get it started. My buddy Buster is calling from his car on the way home from work to see if I got it started yet. My wife come out to the porch in front of my house. She's relaying messages from Buster. We finally get to where I turn the keyand after sitting sense 1991 it fires right up . So I say something from inside the car . Shes so happy it started she says Buster wants to know what you said. So the smart %ss I am I say tell him I got a woodie . Never believing she would say it. She did, and had no idea what it ment. now Buster is laughing on one end I'm laughing on my end . She;'s say What, What did you tell me to say. I explain it and Buster pulls up . She never came back out of the house the rest of the night . We still tease her about it. She never repeats anything I say until shes sure what it is. Got to love them.

The power went off one night just before dinner... we were in the middle of preparing some food... SHE looks at me and dead serious says "no biggie, we'll just microwave it".

An ex of mine once asked what time do they turn the cats eyes on

cats eyes wiki

LOL, good stuff

What's a wife???? :D

LOL!! that is funny Wayne.:lol:

My ol is so much smarter than me, it's pathetic.

LOL. Those are some funny posts. Old gas, new gas. :lol: Way to get it started Doug. :thumbsup:

I'll have to share my "wife's funny moment" now too. Its' short:

I needed to charge the battery in my Camaro during the build process a few years ago and so I pulled my wife's car into the garage, opened up the hoods, and whipped out the jumper cables. I hooked them up to my wife's car and as I was about to hook them up to the Camaro she says, "Wait a second, don't both cars have to be running first before you hook up jumper cables?"

:rofl:

Kinda like the solar-powered flashlight thing.

Not car related but still pretty funny:

My girlfriend Amy and I were leaving for the coast one Friday after work and I reach in my truck console and pull out of bottle of Guarana(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guarana).
She said, "What’s that for?"
My response, "It’s for energy, I’m tired from working all day you can take one if you want."
Amy," I’m not taking bat poop for energy!!!!!!" With a disgusted look on her face

I just started laughing my ass off.

:rofl: !!!!!

i guess mines more of a be careful of who's around you when youre saying it, but...

just yesterday my girlfriend wanted to ride her bike. i didnt have my truck so i told her she would have to take the front wheel off and put it in her neon. 1st funny thing is her thinking it would fit with the front wheel still on.. i leaned against my car smiling while she tried and tried. she lives on the first corner of a town center so i got to watch everyone stare at her and laugh. once she caught on to my snickering. i told her i would take the wheel off. well i didnt have the right size socket so i had to use a crecent wrench. not really thinking that she might repeat it, i said "well, looks like im going to have to use my good ol' mexican socket set" i took the wheel off and loaded the bike. i told her when she got to her destination to let her friends husband put the wheel back on. she went to their house and was standing in the driveway and apparently forgot what the wrech was called so she kept explaining that she "left the mexican something" somewhere. her friend argued saying " you mean metric"? "NO MEXICAN!!" she shouted. well apparently her friend was having some roof work done and they looked up to see a couple of confused roofers that just happen to be hispanic. when she told me how embarassed she was it really made my day!:cheers:

Trust me when I say that us with estrogen aren't the only ones that are clueless. Back in the late '70's, my ex-husband Paul and I were watching TV. A commercial for the newly released Stayfree Mini-Pads comes on and they're showing various views of the pad, extolling the product's benefits and superior "performance," and get to the part about the adhesive strip. The commercial ends and Paul looks at me with this quizzical expression and then asks ... "Doesn't it hurt when you pull it off???"

Thirty years later, I still crack up when I see that brand of feminine hygiene product advertised ...

Cheers,
Mary Pozzi

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I just read this one to my wife Mary---LOL--thanks for sharing.

Doug

Mary I can hear Paul asking that, just like a civil engineer.

Kevin

dad is right.
rick k

Mary now you know everthing about a woman really is a mistery to us ! lol If my wife wasn't around here my post would be a lot funnier with my spelling.

I get home from work one night and tell my wife about this car we are building at work.

She pipes and says, "I saw a beautifully restored car today".

I said, "what was it"?

Oh.. I'm not sure, it was blue and had nice shiny wheels.. they really did a nice job though

I left it at that 'cause she really is clueless about cars.

A couple of days later we are driving to the shops, she points and says, "that's it... see"?

I peer over to the direction she is pointing....

"Honey, that's a PT Cruiser, they are made by Chrysler, you can buy one at a dealership around the corner" :lol:

hey guys,
those are some funny stories! i thought i might share one from my wife....
she is standind in the kitchen cracking eggs into the skillet and stops for a minute, looks at me, then asks as seriously as can be...... how do they know which eggs have chickens in them and which have eggs in them!!!
i know its not car related but i still tease her about it!

ask her about the chickens of the sea, maybe she knows that one?:willy:

great stuff
 

I had mine give me some crap about my car...she said "it will be the same ole piece of crap 5 years from now with nothing more done to it "..i looked at her and said " THATS OK, it was here before you and it will be here after you" :rofl: doh!

Not as good as the others but i thought my BIZALLS ARE TALKING for me ...

jealous of the car a bit... yes .. sounds like you guys dont have that problem


Tom

i have 2 that i still hound her to this day....one somewhat car related the other not.

Years ago when the NFL started using that yellow line to show the first down marker, we were watching the game and she came in and sat down. Couple plays later they went to a no huddle and up popped the yellow line real quick. She turns to me and says, "how do the people carrying the yellow line run down the field so fast". i looked at her dumbfounded and said what?, she repeated the same thing. I told her they are on a zip line, she said, "oh ok, that is a cool job to have"

Maybe a year or two ago we were watching a nascar race, and can't remember who was leading but it was a ford. She says, "that's neat, when did they start doing that". i said "start doing what", she said "putting the drivers Zodiac sign on the car". I said what are you talking about. She proceeded to point and the TV and says "look right there, it says Taurus across the bumper". I just looked at her and had no response.

she sure does keep in interesting!! :lol:

Even the "pros" do it...
 

Quite a few years ago I was watching an Indy race with Danny Sullivan driving with his arm in a cast after breaking it. One of the commentators, I think it was Sam Possi, says to the other guy, "Danny doesn't seem to be driving as well as he did before he broke his arm" (or something very close to that)! I had to stop watching the race. I couldn't stand anymore insight like that.

Zip Line---that's a cool job to have----LOL---good stuff.

Doug

My wife has at least one good one a day. NO JOKE!

But my favorite has got to be the time a bunch of friends were celebrating a birthday at a dive bar in Sacramento ca.
My wife asked if i wanted anything since she was going up to the bar. I said "can you get me a PABST BLUE RIBBON"? (It was the house beer, Told you it was a dive bar)

So a few minutes later she came back empty handed....

I asked her if she forgot to get my beer and she replied
"sorry honey they dont serve PAPA'S NEW WEAPON here" :D

Needless to say Pabst blue ribbon will for ever be known as Papa's new weapon!

Not my wife, but a former coworker who had a masters in Chemical Engineering but was clueless about life in general.

Early one morning, the power went out in her neighborhood so we weren't surprised when she didn't show up to work. A couple of hours later, she called and said she couldn't get her car out of the garage to go to work because it won't open without power. I reminded her of the big, red handle to release the door that I showed her when I installed the door opener a year or so earlier. If that wasn't bad enough, she went on to ask if she can flush the toilet without power.

I still laugh to myself when I think about that one.

Good ol' Sam... I remember a long, involved explanation he gave about how the "new" carbon brakes would fade when they got hot. Fortunately, Al Unser was there to straighten things out. Didn't hear much from Posey after that.

Not my wife but an ex girlfriend....

I use to show Akitas, it was on our second date when she came over to my place and i introduced her to several of my dogs. She asked what kind they were etc and where they came from. i told her they were originally from Japan and were originally used for bear hunting and then fighting and gave her the basic history of the breed. She then asked me if i thought having them here in america was traumatic for them because i couldnt speak japanese! :hail: There was no third date.....

My ex once told me she did not want to fly from new york to california..because she hated flying over the ocean.

And about sam posey..he was giving a little speech in a tent at lime rock and my ex gf and I stopped to listen-after about thirty seconds she said "oh my god this guy is boring" and walked away.

Sorry to thread jack but what's up with all the Sam Posey bashing? Great driver in Trans-Am/Can-Am and his segments in the F1 Pre-race broadcasts and F1 Debrief (Posey's Perspective) is like poetry even as He suffers from Parkenson's.

Anyway......back to the wife/GF blondisms.......
