The things you do for your women.
It needs a little work so I may post its progression here.

I forgot to add this car has been and is still sitting in a barn for the last 20 years. Its going to take a couple of weekends to get to it to get it out of there.

I thought she was leaning more towards the earlies now... Any vair is a good one....

Leave him and marry me?

You get an old Corvair and you are happy.

My wife who is into Saabs is driving my 98 Volvo cause she gave her "baby 1995" to our kid who is running the snot out of it. So I take my beloved T-100 Toyota in and trade it on a new Saab AWD for her. I mean that cost even some change with the GM military discount and stuff but would you think:

or

She wouldn't even drive it for three weeks till the old Volvo went in for service. Of course she never offered it back either but to this day has never said she liked it. Women or at least "that woman" can be odd like that. She went from 1995 till 2009 without ever once saying how much she liked her old Saab till she saw "the kid" put a few dents into it. It was suddenly "Babbbby" and tears.

The only direct comment has been .. "This car doesn't have weather band radio" .. now we live like three miles outside of town so the weather is pretty much what it is. One snowflake and she would dirve all the way (five minutes), with the weather band on and don't even try to speak because it may cause an avalanche. In New Jersey?

You lady, are a lucky gal and he is a lucky guy.

[tlevair]

That's the one!

[tboltkc]

Cool, how far along will it be at the PW or the Olympics next year?

[mlevair]

It all depends on how much she cracks the whip on me to get it done.
Its going to need a new top and I just sold a good one already on the frame. The interior looks decent so its mainly body work and the top.
