Nailed it.

The way I figure, we spend more on our cars, if they ever cared to find out what we REALLY spend we/I woud be screwed.

That's good advice Greg! I'm a 'fairly' newlywed. She's been a good sport so far. I think when I went for a walk at the Car Craft show the other weekend and strolled back with a new aluminum radiator/shroud/dual spal fans/controller and wiring.....she started to ask a few questions.

I said, 'Yes dear!' a LOT that week!

You think shoes are bad? Try buying your wife a Camaro. Which then leads to radiator, serpentine accesory drive, Vintage Air, 468 BBC, TKO 600... Well I guess it's not all for her. Now that it's back on the road I just need to keep finding gremlins so I can keep going on "test drives".

My buddies were in shock. I just continued on as though nothing had happened.
Reminds me of when I would hang out with chicks from school and I would show up in a different car every time lol..

This is something that can't be cured so do'nt even try. So I say'' IT'S EASIER TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS THAN PERMISSION''...
