Tech, The one thing every gearhead has to have.

An understanding spouse.
Treat them with respect and keep them well maintained and I am told they last a lifetime.

 

hell it even looks like she helped ya, thats the BEST kind to have....joe

 

A rule for happy married life: Any activity involving the kitchen and car parts MUST be undertaken while wife is out. Heating parts to harden paint, use of dishwasher as hot tank, even rinsing in the sink. If noxious odors remain, accidentally melt a disposable container on the stove or spray lots of disinfectant and swear the dog threw up on the rug to cover the telltale aroma of scorched grease. Occasionally actually fix some damn thing around the house to justify your giving 20% of family income to the Snapon man.

Yes indeed . . . words to live by....

Jus gimme a GD minute . . . soon as I find low gear we'll kick ass on that Model A roadster....

 

Just dont ride em too hard and put em away wet, I hear they rust?

 

I heard that all the Good Wives were actually recalled by the Factory,
due to some alledged design flaw.

Only a few examples of the original specification are known to still exist.
Obviously,savy collectors keep theirs on a short leash.
Current models are made to the newer specification,and performance has suffered.

Mine bought me a very rusty 27 T coupe body, remains of a 27 touring and an extra 27 touring/roadster cowl, all very rusty, for my birthday. She says they are a good investment. Shes a keeper.

 

Mine has been putting up with me for 40 years this July. Wouldn't part with her for anything. It's funny but I think she feels the same way about me. I'm ONE lucky guy.

What I wouldnt give to have a wife that was a partial Gear Head...he he

 

C9,

Thanks Pozer . . . I'll tell Sweetie.
She doesn't like that pic too well, but it's ok to me.

Here's a pic of the gal who took the pic and the 28 roadster you see reflected in the side of my 32.

Pics taken near Mugu Rock on Pacific Coast Highway July 7, 2001. Headed for Neptunes Net Seafood joint.
Local Harley, beach rat, sporty car and hot rod hangout. I think they even let Dr. J in there now and then....

Damn mine seems to be my biggest critic....oh well she keeps me motivated to be better anyway.

 

<font color="green">I had to trade in my first model for a more reliable one.

I believe I did great on my second choice. All my car guys bitch that their women don't understand the old car thing.

Hell, mine went out and bought this...




On her own, with her own money, while I was out of town.

Sure, I do the wrenching on it but hell, that's a thing I "get to do". I enjoy it.


Imagine my relief, her dream car was a 68 Camaro until she saw a 59 at a car show.

"Assuming the position" at StrayKat 500 03...



She's even getting into the HAMB, when I'm out of town.

So, if you guys see a post from VIXXXEN, it's her.

Another note...

They HATE when you ArmorAll them!

Amen to the comment about a good woman being the best thing a gearhead could have.

I'd probably have just offed myself a long time ago without mine. She's the best. When I first took a test drive in my '51 F-1, I was starting to think "This thing's more work than I want to get myself into."

Then I looked over at her riding shotgun and she had the biggest grin I've ever seen on her.

Bought the truck, never regretted it. Still have the wife. Haven't regretted that either.

RASHY I understand, 3rd times a charm for me. We just celebrated 15 yr anniversary. Finally found one can straighten my ass out!!

Rashy, you dont Armor All HER! You Armour All the waterbed AFTER you remove the sheets!!!!

 

awww you guys!!.. your too much... but i would... save this post in your favs... it might get you out of a bind someday

all i want is a hot rod guy...
ha

will build parts for dinner and a movie. jk

 

hhmmm...wasn't a spouse, first love actually, but she understood the car obsession. Gotta find another now.

 

have a safe Memorial Day

 

OK, You have convinced me! Send me one.

 

Mine is pretty good at operating an engine hoist while I'm underneath, lining up the engine mounts.

She also pushes the brake pedal while I'm bleeding the cylinders.

 

My wife doesn't give a shit about my car and that works out too. At least at any given time, she doesn't have to look farther than the garge to find me.

 

DAMN, coker, you're supposed to let her TAKE THE BAG OFF once ya leave the bedroom!! no wonder she ran away...
