Re: My wife is a keeper
My wife went with me on impromptu weekend trip to vegas to check out a 57 ford wagon. I bought it and three weeks later endured two days of center seat driving in a UHAUL to trailer it back.

Re: My wife is a keeper
Just passed 45 years - and yeah, I had to do the math. My wife also is a keeper - she isn't much into cars but she tolerates my obsession. Although she did grumble a bit when she had to scrape ice off her windshield because my junk was in the garage - can't really blame her. Ironically, now that we live in land of no winter, there's room in the garage.

Re: My wife is a keeper
Have any of you considerd that a wife acts happy that an new collector car is comming because it keeps you out from "under foot"?
It is possible to have fewer collector cars, because I see guys with too many cars to actually get them done, and keep them exercised. To me I don't want to hog collector cars up, just to keep other guys from having one to enjoy. Don't take this wrong, I'm not accusing anyone of hoggin' em' up. Just saying it is something to consider... Quality vs quantity. Also, my wife's non-winter driver is a 92 Corvette from the McDorman collection. |

Re: My wife is a keeper
48 years. I first thought about an A 12 years ago. I found one I liked on ebay. I asked her what she thought and she said” bid on it”. Later she said she did not really think I would.
We have travelled 28,000 miles together in that A. 1930 Tudor She spells me and drives sometimes . John

Re: My wife is a keeper
30 years for me . I used to operate on the principle thats its easier to ask for forgiveness than permission when it came to buying cars but have mellowed with age . Interstingly Andrea has never epressed any desire to drive any of my cars -Once when I felt I might have drunk to much to drive she tried to drive my Sports coupe -After 100 yards i concluded it was safer for me to drive what ever my state -I was actually fine -Karl

Re: My wife is a keeper
Gene she drove a grain truck when we farmed so she learned quick on the A. It is very tiring to drive,especially the wind. As we are getting older,we are not driving as many miles in the A. But it is still fun.

Re: My wife is a keeper
If my wife said that I'd add on to the garage.

Re: My wife is a keeper
When online shopping for parts or accessories my wife’s only question is, “do they take PayPal?”. If she goes with me to a swap meet (rarely) it’s, “get it before someone else does”.
