Lost a 69 RR spring green because I didn't have my priorities straight.
Trying to enjoy life!

Funny how real that is...funny sad that is. Very early in my marriage I was told I should consider selling my truck, My reply was the truck was here before you it will be here after you...we don't talk much any more.

the truck was here before you it will be here after you... My motto exactly and it has been true to life. Maybe all of you with wonderful wife's can let us others know where to find such a woman?

Gotta find the right girl! My wife encouraged me to finish my car. Then she decided she wanted her own toy so we got her a Cutlass Convert. Then she agreed to me spending money on a low deck stroker for my car. Then she decided she didn't want an old toy so we sold the Cutlass and bought a '18 Mustang GT convert. We now each have a toy that's fun to drive and we NEVER discuss selling any of them! Mine told me, "heck yea, order a hellcat"...even went with me to place the order for a '23 Jailbreak Widebody. Even thought maybe we should go ahead and get a widebody Scat along with the hellcat (I had to actually think twice about that one)..so for now,. just the Hellcat. LOL

My wife asked me to sell my cars twice. Once she said we could sell one to send the boys to college. I told her that they do half baked work in school and don't take it seriously so I am supposed to sell my hard earned car to pay for them being lazy? Nope, and she agreed. The other time was the last time. She said I should sell my old cars I work on a lot and have more free time. I told her that isn't a bad idea, all the guys I work with go out and hit the bars drinking after work and I come home to these old heaps of metal. I'll just sell them all and hang out with the guys after work. She never asked me since. LOL Together 32 years, married 28 and I don't mention her collection of shoes..

My friend was a long haul truck driver and worked long hours often gone for days at a time. He came home to find his wife sold his rebuilt 440 Six Barrel engine to his 70 V code GTX that was on an engine stand in his garage while he was on the road! He's divorced now!

My cousin was an OTR OO. He came home one day to find his wife had put the house AND his truck up for sale.

I met my wife at the track so it hasn't been an issue. She knows the car hobby is pretty much my entire social structure, I don't do sports, 99% of what I watch on TV is cars, all my friends race or work on cars etc.
I have a friend who has made it very clear to women he got serious with that the race car stuff won't go away. That cost him at least one marriage lol but he was up front with them!

This whole thread reminds me of the statement from the beginning of Fantomworks, "If we have to choose between you and your car, we aren't choosing you".
"We live in a time when intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended".

I cannot even attempt to watch that clown. I have not seen anything they have done that I would even think of letting them touch anything I own.

great picture Mike ! i met my wife at the NSRA street rod nationals in St Paul Minnesota in 1979. we have been together ever since. she likes cars, drag racing, hot rods, customs, the whole bag of toys. however, she still gives me the devil now and then for selling my interest in my junkyard to my partner.
