Women, Is it all of them? Options

I'm upset with my girlfriend right now. I've been with her for 4 years now, and she still doesn't understand my passion for cars. You can all read what I've bought for my car in my info. It isn't much. But for some reason she thinks I buy stuff for it all the time. I was telling her I was thinking about bidding on a header online for my car and she got really mad at me. She said, "you don't even need a header, why are you wasting your money?" I just had a birthday, and I felt I should be aloud to maybe buy myself something for a birthday/chirstmas present. I've talked to everyone else in my life, friends and grandpa and mother. They all say, "it's your money, and if that's what you want to spend it on it's okay." I told my girlfriend that all those people said that, but it didn't matter really, because it doesn't matter what anyone else said she is the most important person in my life I can't do something unless she says it's okay. I can't stand her being mad at me. I told her I felt like she's controllling sometimes because she gets mad at me if I don't do exactly what she wants. She got mad at me and told me to spend my money on whatever I wanted and stop caring about what she thought, and it was irritating what I was doing. It feels like no matter what I do, she's mad at me and I can't make her happy. I love her. How do I get her to understand me, and except me?

Wow! Have you bought a present for her lately??
When you spend more for the car and less for the woman.
It just means that you love the car more than the woman.
I think she is jealous of the car cause-

1.) She can cat-fight with the car and end up losing
2.) She can bitch at the car and the car won't bitch back so she feels stupid
3.) The car will never ever cheat on you!
4.) The car is your slave!

Just tell her that if she can do what the car can do, then you will stop spending so much on the car.
And why would you need headers for the celi? None of them will bolt right on without wielding.

LOL, I do love my car a lot. She's my baby. But I spend at lest 3 times as much, maybe up to 5, on my girlfriend than on my car. That's not including gas and oil. I don't think it's about her being jealous. I think it's just about her not understanding that I love my cars, and it brings me alot of pleasure to upgrade them. I'm the kinda guy who would rather buy a car for $5K and spend $25K making it better, than to ever buy a $30k car. Cars were in my life before her. She hated the car I drove when I started dating her. I loved that car. Car had no radio, no power steering, no a/c, no backseet, loud exhaust, it was snappy and jerky to drive, had no sound deffinning matterial anywere and was loud to drive or ride in. It also had a good bit of money in the motor/suspension. I gave it up for the Celica, because she liked it. I've held resentment towards her since for making me get rid of that car. I'd just like to make the Celica 1/2 as fast as it was.
