Over my lifetime and 2 divorces, the cars stay and the women can be dumped. There is no guarantee that the wife or girlfriend will be a lifetime investment - and she can be replaced, and so can you. That rare car, or the one you built, cannot. I have more good memories with my cars than wives or girlfriends. Both the cars and women take money to upkeep, and in my book, it is the woman who is more of a money pit than the car. That gal will eventually get fat, old, and wrinkley. My car may get faded and parts worn out, but I can throw a paint job on it and replace parts by ordering them new - the old wrinkley wife can't be restored - but she can be replaced with a newer model. LOL I can't tell you the money I have spent in my lifetime on wives/girlfriends trying to make them happy just to get a piece of ass from them. Would have been cheaper to buy a rare collector car and an inflatable love doll to bang. Nope, would never give up or sell a favored car for a woman. Just my story and I'm sticking to it.
