Go the other way with the GF -(NOT THAT) Ask her to give you a hand on your next DIY. Don't rebuild a transmission but some light task. Wake up - she doesn't want to share you with the car(s). Now its up to you to get the best from both worlds.

problem is that you're asking for confirmation of non-obsessive behavior by the very group that exhibits the same tendency so it's a little like false statistical confirmation. If the group your polling has anything to do with the poll then it's not random sampling...lol.

The worst things I have ever uttered in my life have been towards cars that ticked me off.

... I only list the major cars I have... the actual list is just freaky. somewhere around 25 benzes alone... over 50 vehicles on site... and they all belong to me. none are for sale. well, I'm planning to sell one of them at the moment, but it's not why I have them. I'm certain I could lap you in personal vehicles, even if you choose the brand or type.

I know exactly what you mean. I remember bad jobs like "the compressor incident of 2010", or "the trailing arm that cost a leg". Now that I have two, it doesn't effect me quite as much....but it still will mess me up.

My first wife always said I was obsessive about it. Wife #2 tells me to make sure I build a "den" area in the new shop with a couch/tv viewing area so she can spend time in there with me
. Wife #2 is the kind of wife you want to find. Your obsessiveness will only get worse with your current gf (as perceived by her). She will eventually get where she is actually jealous of the time you spend working on the car.

You guys must all be fairly young. Wait until you are older, lying in bed next to your wife, and dream about trailing arms instead of beautiful legs.
