Default My wife of 10 years tells me I am obsessed with cars

Go figure she is the one that got me into muscle cars and she thinks I am obsessed with cars seriously I could have a drug addiction or worse.

My wife called me out once on the number of project cars that I had planned in my head. Let's see, there was a Riviera, first gen Camaro, second gen Firebird, suicide door Lincoln, C3 Corvette, old school crew cab with a Cummins swap, 63-66 C10, 67-72 C10, K5 Blazer, etc.

She knows nothing about cars, but at one point in time she could pick out the differences between 67, 68 and 69 Camaros from hearing me talk about them. She has also told me that she wants me to build a 50's model truck one day because she likes the look of them.

Cars are like meth, weed, and cocain all mixed into one 3300lbs pill.

And I'm fine with that.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

I have to drink a little beer every now and then to keep my addiction at bay.
