Yeah, we know, and only takes it out to slap you with it, right. Remember.....we saw the text.

I can tell your proud of your woman.

I'm a lucky man too.

I have never been told I couldn't buy something. I have been told I was stupid for buying it.

All I can say is: it must be nice. My spouse showed interest until the day we got married and it's been 18 year of going down hill ever since.

I am ready to trade her in.

Currently im married to a wonderful woman who is very supportive of everything I do. the first wife was evil and hated every car or truck I brought home, whined that my son and I went fishing on my boat and more or less whined until I sold everything. Finally I realized that I got rid of the wrong things and got rid of her. fast forward a few years and this woman im married to now not only supports my business ventures but my hobbies as well. She encourages me to ride my motorcycle, despite her fear of them and participates in some events I attend by meeting me at the finish and partaking in the festivities afterwards, we each have our vintage cars and she comes with me to swap meets and shows to not only tag along but to help pick out accessories or projects. She encouraged me to buy my 71 Monte Carlo, and even spent some time working on it with me ( not bad for a 58 year old gal eh?) She is my soulmate and I love being out in the garage or on the road or anywhere with her

X2...Beautiful wife old Rusty!

I didn’t tell the story of why my wife was in the trunk. It was basically the latch malfunction and trunk wouldn’t open issue. Pulled the back seat for access and I was too big to squeeze through....so she volunteered, wiggled through with tools and a light to disassemble the latch.

While she is incredibly supportive of my automotive affliction and has been with me since high school, I never did tell her I had the wrong key in trying to open the trunk.

What is her Phone number , Im gonna tel her . Not .
Right after we bought our 72 Malibu Convertible we were taking it on a trip and I put the bags in the trunk and just as I closed the trunk I realized I had layed the only set of keys on the spare tire inside the trunk .

Next time I drop by, I will try to keep my mouth shut. Looks like I may be going back up to Ohio next week, so watch out.

Ha...you get a chance, stop on by!

Mine would be happy for me to just finish the project for crying out loud! 20 years and counting..
I don't spend many long days out in the shop like I once did. I do when I feel like it. I don't have to accomplish much to have a good day in the shop. My wife is more than willing to help if I ask her. She will occasionally step in to see what I am up to and at just the right time too. She's bailed me out more than a few times. I sent her to the parts store one evening while I was working on her car. She ran into two friends of ours and told them I was having a tough go under her car and they popped in before she got back. She's bought me most of the tools in the shop as a matter of fact.

I’m one of the lucky guys. My wife and I have the same interests as far as vehicles go. He father passed away when she was 9 years old. She’s about to turn 28 now. He got her into the love for old cars. She has always been supportive and has always been right by my side while working on my ‘65. There are some days when I can tell she isn’t having a good day and she is being kinda snappy even with me, so I’ll make her go for a ride in Ol’ Blue and her attitude totally changes once we get down the road. We have a great relationship and she has been just as into my project with this truck as I have. This photo attached was from 2 weeks ago when she wasn’t having a good day, so I took her for a drive in Ol’ Blue. She apologized later that night for how she was acting and thanked me for making her take I little ride to just enjoy the moment and get away from everything.

I never had any issues with my X over any of my wheeled interests. It's how I was when we met, while we were together 8 years, and married another 16. We took our honeymoon on my Harley. Marriage was at a state park and she put her wedding dress on in the bath house (then changed into riding gear after). I bought her a '55 210 Wagon, a '63 Riviera, and the family vehicle was her '90 4spd Blazer. Everything she drove while we were together was a manual shift and all my kids' first (and beyond) vehicles were manual. But other problems were the issues. You know what they say... "If it has wheels or..."
