    Angela: Is a good wife...I'm letting the hubs bring home his race car (ugh...)

    Is any other comment needed?

    No, not really.

    The ugh didn't really need to be there.

    Clearly, more training is necessary. In addition, a good wife wouldn't point out that she's a good wife.

    The status indicates tolerance not support. Don't confuse the two.

    Well, in her defense, it should be know that the "race car" is actually a Challenge car... so it is a lot more than just a parking spot. It's construction, destruction, cussing, dirt, oil, other fluids, loud noises and generally a mess is what is an otherwise tidy garage.

    A win is a win, I'd appreciate tolerance perhaps more than support, it is more of a sacrifice.

    Yes. Clearly, more training is necessary. Please post pics and a short bio, including all the bad things you've ever done to tick her off. (I promise not to use a single one of them to convince her to divorce you unless she looks like Cindy Crawford.)

    Yeah, I don't keep cars in her sun room and she doesn't interfere with what's in the garage. :-)

    Much more training. My wife is pissed I haven't built her and the older kids a Lemons car yet.

    Edit: Oh yeah, or changed the engine in the RX-7.

    The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!

    I was about to pick and say all the things those guys said... until I realized MY wife will not let me bring the race car home (What she doesn't know will only destroy the marraige, right?)

    My wife doesn't seem to care when I bring a project home, but she does get pretty mad when I don't touch them for months.

    I assume since she's wasting time on Facebook all the laundry is done, the floors are spotless and there is a fresh pie waiting for you?

    Let me tell you about my wife: I dragged home a derelict VW Baja and she declared that she wanted to do the bodywork-attached is a pic of the finished car and my wife. Then, when I decided to build my crazy race car, she asked if she could build a fiberglass bumper for it, and cleaned the engine with little brushes.

    My SWMBO just demands that i build cars for her because she thinks she might want to autocross.

    It's "our" project. As in, she decides that she wants a motor in it, what seats, etc etc etc, and i do it.

    One of my buddies posted up on FB "Dave, you need this..."

    My wife's response: "He absolutely needs it. If I had the cash in my pocket, I'd drive over there and buy it."

    nothing beats coming home to find a crashed mx6 and an escort lx in your driveway for no reason. and the nieghbors coming by to find out if we were ok considering the crashed car.

    Dont judge on looks alone whether car or person there is often alot more there then u can see.

    My wife won't stop bugging me about modifying the Jeep and she hasn't had it 2 days...

    My garage is full of race car and classic, both of which together aren't worth half my piddly Ranger, let alone the Jeep, but the garage is mine . <-- I put space around that period for a reason
