The wife gave me the shock of a lifetime.
Last night, the wife and I finished paying bills. She was balancing the bank book, and asked me "how much would it cost to paint the car ?(the corvette)
I said, "about 2K for bodywork and another 2K for the paintjob." After a short pause she said, "I think we can swing that in June."
I about fell on the floor. She is very supportive of my addiction,but also very frugal with the pennies. I cann't wait until June to see if she still thinks it's possible. :hurray: :hurray:

You can't beat that. My wife has been on board with everything so far even the paint job. But, she is now making plans for when the vette is done. Paybacks....ugh.

So tonight you make a nice roast beef (or red salmon) supper with candlelight and a good bottle of French red wine? Soft music in the background (not Barry Manilow...). Say thanks!

I was trying to think of a new year's resolution and the girlfriend made me choose "Paintjob for the Vette by the end of the summer". I didn't fight that too much :D She is cool with me spending on my car, as long as I save a little for her, hehe. I don't know how many promises I've made about the work I'll be doing on the house when we get one!
