After some dramas in friendhood, my girlfriend is actually happy that i’m a petrolhead.

If i’m not at home, i’m in my garage. If i’m not in my garage, i’m probably bringing something to the garage. No hassle, no drama, always knows where i am.

For exchange she gets some quality track time (heck, she has more medals and trophies than me! - consider this as a warning, when you school your girlfriend for the races :D).

You know you’re dating a petrolhead when you’re not the only one he’s excited to see when he comes home from vacation. And you’re ok with it.
