$6000.00 money saving decision..

I have been wanting to get my tow buggy painted for some time now. It runs good and all mechanically safe and sound, just needs to look a bit nicer,,I thought. My wife told me that she sees where some people are actually aging their vehicles to give it 'patina'. I thought about this for awhile, and I have to agree with her. My truck DOES have 'patina' that a fresh paint job does not have. I am really glad I didn't mess up the 'patina' by having it painted. Gotta' count myself as one lucky guy to have a wife guide me before I made a mistake and messed up my stylish truck. She has such a good head!! I told her to pick up something for herself for Christmas. She came home with the prettiest diamond ring,,,WAIT,,,it was ON SALE!!! She is always finding ways to save me money.

Came home and read your post to my wife...THANK YOU, that is classic, we both laughed.
