A girlfriend learns the hard way.

I take the thread for what it is, a funny response to a random posting.

Harsh, yes, but what did she expect from a bunch of guys on an off road related forum, flowers and cookies?

I make no assumptions but it was entertaining. I will agree with one thing, if she is just a girlfriend and not a wife or fiance then it really isn't her place. Some women (not saying this one) do have tunnel vision when it comes to their expenditures versus yours. My wife is not one of these and we both have our hobbies/vises/etc.

My wife's friend was very critical of her husbands rc hobby until my wife had a talk with her. It was okay for her to spend her money on manicure, pedicure, purses, and other girly things but not him.

People on either side should remember a hobby is by nature a money pit and not something you should ever expect a return on. You do it because you love it and no other reason. Any off road vehicle will be a money pit plain and simple. If this is not something she can handle then maybe she needs a different type of man.
