What did you do to preparing your truck for your girl friend.. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JasonT · 08-13-2005, 07:03 PM

So your girlfriend/wife hasn't gotten a ride in your new old truck yet. You know its loud, smells, the interior is a little ratty, and maybe looks a little rough in general and you dont care... but will she?

what have you guys done to prep your baby for your significant others first ride?

I for one will start by installing seatbelts.

franko72 · 08-13-2005, 07:05 PM

new carpet helped a lot.

68gmcdually · 08-13-2005, 07:07 PM

The then girlfriend/now wife loved, well loved is too strong, tolerated riding in the '68 before its resto. I think just because I liked it so much. It was far from what it is today, it smelt (the PO was a farmer) and it was just plain falling apart. All I did to prepare it for her was clean out the gas tank and replace the fuel filter so that it would run right.

Let The Wife In My New Truck ??? Are You Nuts???

Longhorn Man · 08-13-2005, 07:13 PM

Well, the inside of the longhorn isn't too bad... it does kinda smell funny, the floors are ventilated, and it is loud.

My girl says she don't care about any of that, and since it is my baby, she knows she'll love it. (plus since she bought me the caddy 500, she'll get to drive it too

)
I'll see what I can do about the things I listed. I need to put some tunes in it too. It already has new buckets in there, and the door panels and dash pad and all that look nice.
I know once she drives it, she'll see why I like it so much....she loves torque too.

I have a month to get it road worthey and chick worthey.

I told her to look past the color. She didn't...one look at the screaming lime green paint and she refused to be seen in the thing

68cajun · 08-13-2005, 09:11 PM

She hated it when I bought it, hates it when i spend money on it, Hates the fact that it takes up so much room in the garage, hates it when i spend time working on it, and not with her. No way i'll let her ride in it.

jc · 08-13-2005, 09:34 PM

install ejector seat

im just kidding im looking foward to the first
cruise night with the new truck and the
wife and kid.
she is very supporting of my sickness.

in fact were going to a cruise night on our anniversery.

Purs · 08-13-2005, 09:38 PM

a few magarita's for her doesn't hurt....

Jetmech727 · 08-13-2005, 09:44 PM

ear plugs and one of those playboy deoderizers from the rear view

*chevytruckfan* · 08-13-2005, 10:26 PM

Girlfriend didn't like the truck. She said that the truck had to go or she would. I sure miss her I wonder what she is doing these days.

Martin64 · 08-13-2005, 10:32 PM

My wife was open to the idea, but the 1st impression was hilarious. Her and I both knew it was going to be a "work in progress", but when I pulled up to her work and dragged her out to the parking lot to see this fine machine pissing a 5' stream of anti-freeze out a hole in the front of the rotten radiator (all over a shopping cart from her store), well I just had to laugh (all the way to Kragen)....

powell72 · 08-13-2005, 10:56 PM

Luckily my wife's a car girl so she handles it without a problem.

*Randy70C-10* · 08-14-2005, 09:57 AM

If she doesn't like the "old truck" smell, find another girlfriend.

ChevyDude · 08-14-2005, 10:12 AM

My wife likes my truck and my girlfriend can't wait to go for a ride in it....life is so fun!!!

timamin · 08-14-2005, 10:40 AM

I dunno about ya'll but the truck seems to get me hooked up with more chicks then anything else I do lol. all I get is I love this truck or wow this truck is crazy just as it backfires lmao. I dunno what chicks love about old trucks but I'm not complaining. I refuse to let a girl drive my truck anymore cause the last one nearly ran it into a light pole cause there is no power steering and it's hard to steer from the passanger side :P

2low72 · 08-14-2005, 10:56 AM

I've had my current 72 for 2 years and she's only gotten in it to help me bleed the brakes. I don't think she'll ever ride in it before i sell it.

My girlfriend insists upon mentioning selling it all the dang time... I have only had it for a MONTH.

She even mentioned using the proceeds to buy her a boob job.

I almost took her up on it

Bill72BB · 08-14-2005, 12:11 PM

Wife ,like's the truck I've only let her drive it a couple of time's she has a lead foot and thinks it's a sports car .

When I was you age I just would make sure there were a couple of condoms in the glove box .( if she didn't like the ride she could walk home )

BraveDave · 08-14-2005, 12:44 PM

If we have to take a car to the shop or something, I make my wife drive my '72 so I can see how cool it looks going down the road. She doesn't mind too much but she thought I should have sold the '72 instead of my chopper.

masterbeavis · 08-14-2005, 01:18 PM

My GF doesnt like my blazer. I took her to reno in it (with the top off) and I strongly suggested she bring sunblock. Well, she brougt sunblock alright. Left it in her purse. Needless to say, I called her Missus Crabs. for the next week or so. Havent gotten her within 10' of the truck yet.

As far as letting your significant other drive, two words... FULL COVERAGE!!!!!!
