The Wifes New Car

I have found the key to keeping my car habits alive and well, and without any hard feelings. Buy the wife a new car, and she will have a much more understanding outlook on my racing and Miata "collecting".

Truer words have never been spoken. I still have my '94 Accord 5-spd, that I have never been able to justify selling, it's paid for, runs great, gets great gas milage, is fun to drive (has Koni's)....

Now the question is, who is making the car payments? Wink

With a joint account (not to be confused with my car/race account), we both are

for some reason this reminds me of the time you fell asleep in the accord in the paddock at VIR and we snuck up and jacked the car up. ah good times

I can't help but think of the great shock debacle of '04 when I think of the accord.

It's pretty funny how married car guys plot alike. I have a separate track/car account and am currently looking for a pretty Miata to keep Joan happy. Big Grin

Happy wife=Happy life.

Didn't have to fix, it's already in my plans.

I said the same thing when I read it. Rex had a seperate account for his projects. And I'll go along with the happy wife= happy life, cause for me, its Happy Rex = we get to work on my car too.

Lol, Joan and my mother in law both said that to me about the MR2 and were like, "Please don't skimp on safety equipment."
