Does Your Spouse........

Well my wife is the reason I have a Corvette.:coolgleam:
I retired in June, 2006 but in Sept.'06 was asked if I'd be willing to return as a replacement could not be found. I agreed and in March '07 my wife said to me " you're still working your butt off when you're supposed to be retired and enjoying life. You need to treat yourself. Whats something you've wanted for a long time?" I said "Pamela Anderson!" She said "You'll never have enough money for that! What's number 2 on the list?" " I'd like a Corvette", I replied.
She said "Then buy yourself one". WOW! I couldn't believe what I was hearing!
She enjoys cruising as much as I do, though she prefers having the roof off while I prefer the cocooned feeling of having the roof on. If the sun's shining and the temp is higher than 18, she gets her way.

Mine is amazing as evidenced by fully supporting me when I moved up from a perfectly good 2000 Vert that I had only owned for a couple of years, to a supercharged C6.....she didn't even blink when I suggested it.
She's :coolgleam:

support your corvette hobby??
my wife does support my interest in spending endless amounts of my PESOS. Awhile ago i actually was going to sell the vette and she is the one that changed my mind....i know very shocking!!!
Not at all, I hear about it every day...
Not only does she support it, she even drives it on occasion. When I got my new DD and was considering a small mod wheel package, she almost killed me. That money is better spent on the Vette. This is her belief! Wow, 30 years and counting. Got lucky the first time around!
My wifes the show scene if i'm participating but if i'm not in show sometimes has no interest! Especially when technical stuff involved.That's my silver car ahead of the yellow c6

Funny you mention the cake. This wedding is going to be awsome. The cake is going to be Rice Krispy and shaped like big Lego blocks (my other passion). I don't care if anyone has cake, it will look cool.

Yes, my wife supports my passion for Corvettes and it has become her passion now too. Like mentioned by DigitalZ, the modifications seem to raise an eyebrow or two from time to time.
September. It's more of a formality than anything. Basically a giant family party. Both of our parents were hinting at our wedding long before we were.

P.S. There are 3 major hobbies in my life besides my fiancee, Corvettes, Lego, and Guitar. The corvette is my get away car for after the cerimony, The cake is Lego bricks, ...Now how to get the guitar in there?
You could sing her a song! just if you do make sure to video it because I will want to see it.

Actually I dont expect her to change at all, she is quite the "Gear Head" as Manny calls her.
She has a deep love of older performance cars as she helped her father when he rebuilt his 69 Camaro.
hey that is awesome... my wife in a Mechanical Engineer but could not care less if I change the oil in the cars or not... LOL
