You're not kidding!

Mine thought the hours online would cease once the research and purchase was completed.

Now everytime I'm online, even if it's work-related, I receive a scowl and a peek over my shoulder to see if I'm "looking at car stuff again?!".

I'm sure the membership to this club is greater than 2!

I don't think you're the only female, I think there is at least one other.

Internet is part of life. 2 hours should be the allowance for TL.com. Wife isn't mad if merely 2 hours surfing...

I think she's right. You definitely need to spend more time at schol.

I surf on my portable from the bed and converse with her at the same time I'm typing responses, so my wife doesn't miss me too much.

I have to get my daily dose of A-TL or I go into withdrawl.

You guys need to be one step ahead...

Wife, girlfriend, boyfriend...whatever....just turn the table on them. See I told my wife this site helped me make an informed decision on my purchase of "The Ride" which saves money. Saving money = a red flag to your wife as more for her. I also tell her that I check the forum as aften as possible to keep up with current items...alerts....discounts....etc. Her response..."good thinking honey" BINGO!!!! Touchdown!!!!

Besides, she actually gets more upset that I spend the night in my car they she does me browsing these forums.

The wife has had many concerns over the last 3 months of my Acura-Tl forum research:

I think that now that I have the car (6MT), she is starting to appreciate it more.

She tells her friends it is "Chat,"
I say it is INTEL.

She's coming around.

Great frikin car!!!!!!

Doh! If I were your dad, I'd knock you silly for being here, at least until you learned to spell "school" correctly.

Girl friend thought i was weird spending soo much time chatting on the A-TL site. Until I told her that if I didn't talk to you guys about cars (Acura in particular) she'd have to do the listening. Needless to say she quickly approved of the site.

Same here I am addicted to this site along with my350z and maxima org, when I'm at home and work I check it often. When at home she says dam* you on that computer again at those dam* car sites, I just laugh and say you shoulb glad I'm not at a porn site and she laughs.

My wife can't understand online forums, she thinks I'm wasting my time, but since she gets the remote control when I'm online she is very happy.

Wife: "You're always on that damn acura site ... I don't care what the stupid car can do or when they are going to fix stuff. Just stop talking about the stupid car already!"

Co-Worker: "What is with you and this damn Acura site.. every time I come over to your desk you are reading some stupid BS about your car. You should be studying for your Cisco exams instead of reading this crap."

Yep.. I think it's time I take this web site off my BookMarks so people don't pick on me.

I'm on several forums, this one (used to have a TL), ClubLexus (have a GS430), RoadFly (have a Z3), and FreshAlloy (was thinking about getting a G35 coupe). Yes, it's addictive.

Luckily my wife just laughs about the amount of time I spend browsing these things.

As far as other females on the forum, my brother-in-law picked up an '04 TL and I think my sister scans the forum for him to see what's going on.
