then she drives the car or sees all the attention the car gets at car shows.. then she loves it...
but she hates the cost... the most..

I think the "fully support" is what gets most people. Parents tend to dislike modding at first but get better as time goes on (as long as you aren't too excessive). My girlfriend doesn't mind as long as I don't spend too much time/money either. To everyone who isn't into cars we are excessive :P

My parents didn't like it at first. My ex didn't like it either. No, that's not the reason why we broke up. 
My parents are a bit easier on me now, I'm not saying they support me, at least they don't nag on me as much. They say at least I don't get into "trouble" since I focus mainly on my car. So I guess it's a good thing.

Mom doesn't care about modding, she thinks it is my money and I can spend it how I want, will even buy me mods for gifts if asked for and still talks about how she misses her old car.
G/F's in general didn't really mind but I think one felt I did too much to the car, even if it looked better because of it. Not that I have a lot done to my car.

My fiance used to hate my car, then she got into the whole thing. Her Integra is more crazy than my car, fully molded body kit, full custom stereo, nitrous, big brakes front and rear, chromed out engine, custom interior, everything. And the best part is it's all paid for by sponsors. So she has no problem when I do something to my car. I get a TV, she wants one. I get the SC, she's researching turbo kits for her car. I have 19"s, she's getting them now too.
My parents on the other hand, don't really like my car too much. They get on me for the cost of it, but then like to show it off to their friends. They make me pop the trunk and the hood all the time.

my girlfriend is cool with it. she knows how much i love my car and how much i want it to be faster. hahaha, even though its my car, i fear my fathers wrath... at least when it comes to exhaust/muffler. if i got an aftermarket muffler i think my father would laugh at me. hes seen his share of ricers on the road with their horrendously loud catbacks.

which GF, Andy? 
My mom hates it, and my grandmother gave me some money to replace my suspension.
My dad used to race at Lime Rock, so he likes it, but as he bought a new wife and new life, he doesn't help me out. So, pretty much it's me, and any friends who help me with installs.

Stepmom couldn't care less, other than she thinks I track grease into the house all the time (WTF?! they own a restaraunt and spend most of the time walking around a greasy kitchen floor.. and they blame ME!)
Dad whines and moans about all the $$ I spend on the car, but when I showed him a bigass trophy from IASCA Finals, he hasn't complained since- and even wrote me a check to cover some of the costs it took to get there.
the fiance likes to "play" with the car, but hates the money issue.. "We could buy something nice with that money..."
"Okay. I'll take it back. what would you like to buy?"
"I dunno. but if I wanted to buy something, I'd have the money."
GRRRRR
she hates racing or driving more than 2mph over the limit, but when I go to stereo comps, she's there everytime.

My parents hate it... and they don't even know the extents to which I have gone, and what lies in storage awaiting...but they hate it. My mother actually likes some of the stuff...my dad hates anything that does not involve a house or saving money. Although on more than one occasion he has asked to borrow the car.
My girlfriend, she likes it, she just wants to figure out how to keep up. She knows the extent to which I go for my Max, and actually does try to help me, she was pivotal in getting me to pull the SC out in order to ship to Vortech for the V2 upgrade. She will help with the car, or leave me alone to do what I need to do with the car, and talk about breaking my chops about being lazy sometimes... sheesh... She even did it last night... "The car was down for 2 months.. the engine bay should be spotless...yadda yadda yadda" She wants to see the car in shows, she wants to see me rewarded for all my efforts and she knows that the car can make or break my happiness to a certain extent. In that respect I couldn't ask for more. Now if I could just find MORE time to work on the car I would be all set.
My ex's... errrrrr they dealt with it... none were very supportive, but since they don't pay for my mods they didn't have a leg to stand on.
