A project name your wife will like: "50 shades of Gray!" :rofl:

Brilliant! Think about it next time your massaging those swollen fenders. :unibrow:

Don't have a wife. I started this Mustang a couple months after the girl very near and dear to me moved across the country. Coincidence... maybe, but it's not what you'd think. She has been in town recently and really wanted to stop by BOS to see the Mustang. Then she asked where the Camaro was because she missed it, so we had to drive down the street to say hi to it. She was dismayed to find that it currently has no engine. (I should mention now that I once asked if it was loud and annoying, and she said no - can you believe that?). After Visiting the Camaro she wanted to brew a batch of beer together (her choice was an English IPA). Oh, and she stopped by to make some sourdough bread today. It gets baked tomorrow, thanks to some obscenely long recipe from a bakery up in Dave's neck of the woods. Yes, I helped, and yes I compensate for partaking in such domestic activities by owning obnoxious muscle cars :lol:

Honestly, I need opinions. Should I just give up now and resign myself to life as a dorky, obsessed, car building, "racing Monk?" What are my odds at finding another woman that shows interest in, and enjoys said cars, is intelligent, attractive, funny, and brews beer, etc. etc? The only other woman, who I ran into at a car show, who genuinely liked my car, genuinely liked my car, and showed it way more interest than either myself, or the guy who later claimed to be her boyfriend. I cannot utter upon Lateral-G any of the things she said she wanted to do to my car. Just know, whatever is being posted in Ron's thread about trannys and shafts and, well I won't go on. In any case, none of that holds a candle to the things she talked about doing to my Camaro. No amount of clear bra, or instant detailer, or cleaner wax, would ever be able to make things right again.

I really wish I could say that either part, or all of this little story was either embellished, or fabricated, but the truth is, well... sometimes all you can say is that the truth just is.

Uhh Matt and why do you let this "friend" of yours live across the country?? Sounds like you need to keep her close to you!!!

Honestly my friend, my advice is stop looking!

I was president of the "He Man Woman Haters Club" after my divorce... single Dad of two girls... didn't date as a rule. Put my girls and my military career first. It worked, got both girls thru high school and college successfully, rose to the top of the ranks and got good at being alone.

Just when I swore I'd never get married or have kids again, I met my beautiful young bride! We now have to incredible little boys together and I've never been happier!!!

Last night after putting the boys to bed she said simply "What are you going to do in the garage tonight while I read my book?" She loves my car... loves the way it sounds with 3" dumps... loves the friends I've made in the hobby... and encourages me to spend time in my man cave.

They are out there my friend, stop looking... she'll find you! :yes:

She didn't feel like there were good opportunities to pursue a career of art and photography in San Diego. I've been given the really great opportunity to do what I want right now, which is something I couldn't have imagined even five years ago, and while I told her I didn't want her to leave, the last thing I'm going to do is tell her should stick around with me if it really interferes with pursuing her passion.

Is it time to start a Relationships 101 thread?

Im not going to touch this myself. Im lucky to have my wife and family and I couldnt tell you how it happened.

This is something I'd actually be somewhat interested in seeing come together - I've had my fair share of interesting relationships and am now starting to wonder if I'll ever find anyone sane enough to get married to!

Back on track - the fastback looks GREAT! I'll have to stop by BOS in the next few weeks when I finally move back to SD. Figures I find out about all the cool car places after I move away for a year!

Well, first of all, if you want an opinion about a woman, you should know us by now---:ttiwop:

:D

In all seriousness Matt, I'm no Dr. Phil, but I met my wife in college in a class that I needed for a science credit(not my major). The only reason I took the class was because my adviser said it would be an easy science class for me, turns out it was the only "C" I got in college. I did meet my wife there though, so it was worth it in the long run. We have been together for 15 years now, so I guess everything happens for a reason. A bonus is that my wife likes cars and understands my passion for all things automotive. When she wanted to help me change the oil on my car in college I knew that was a good sign.;)
Good luck to ya man.
