This is about as off topic as it gets but as a semi-long time lurker I figured I would post.
I was wondering how many of you all have either met your significant other through the car community or have entered the car community together? People always seem baffled that I am into it as much as my S/O. I always love hearing about how couples come together, and I think there are couples out there that are definitely in the scene.
So here's our on going story and why Stance Works is such a big part of our relationship: I started getting the car bug at the beginning of this summer and was making all of the wrong decisions and fast. I only knew of one guy (that happened to go to school with me) who was involved in the scene at all, but he was an ex of a girl I knew (and I was dating a pretty controlling guy at the time) so I kind of backed off on it. Finally, after I got swindled pretty bad on a set of Motegi's (what was I thinking), I decided it was time to shoot this kid a message. Turns out we live not only in the same apartment complex, but his room is directly over mine. We hung out and kept it friendly, but my now-ex decided he didn't want a male friend in my life, so we weren't allowed to text or be FB friends anymore. Here's where StanceWorks comes in: We would PM each other all day, every day and talk about build threads, what kind of wheels I should buy next, and how much we wished we could hang out again.
Long story short, ex and I amiably ended it and I ended up pursuing my friend/neighbor sometime after the dust had settled. He went to H2Oi and all I could think of was how much I wanted to be there, doing burn outs on the strip and yelling at the OCPD. When he came back we watched every single H2Oi after movie we could find. We've already booked our cabin for SOWO 15 and are making plans for H2Oi this year. I think stance, and cars in general, will be an integral part of our relationship as it is something we really enjoy doing together.
TL;DR- Met my current S/O through the car community; communicated in secret over Stance Works.
So... what's your Car Couple story?

The happy couple
