right talk. That did seem mighty harsh. I've had that happen to me a few times too when excitedly talking to my girlfriend about my Z. So I try not to bring it up so much around her. Instead I try and talk with her about the things we do have in common. I try to save the car talk for the guys. Though you have to be careful with guys sometimes too. I've had guys initiate the Z talk by asking me quesions about my car, that I enthusisiastically answered while they appeared sincerily interested only to have them run off and tell mutual friends that "I sure like to talk about my car a lot and need to stop bragging". When i distinctly remembered the conversation being sustained by periodic questions I was just simply answering. Back to your situation though, I guess you have to try and look at this from her perspective. This girl obviously doesnt get the car thing with a comment like "It's a car, a way to get from place to place in your life, you know the thing we do everyday". That places her in to a category of people that are quite common, the "Cars are just transportation group". Right then you know that this person is not going to enjoy any car talk and its best to look for other areas of common ground. So for her to be on the recieving end of an email string you send out reading about your horn and your speakers, she probally felt how most of us feel when we keep getting those inspirational life stories in our inbox through an email string authored by our mothers. My advice would be just to remove her from the email string heading of msgs you think she might not be interested in, and reappend her name for mutual interest memories or stories. And your always welcome to talk about Z stuff around here. That is what this place is for.
