Art & Inspiration Wives

So last night I was fighting a bolt to pull the master cylinder out of our 49 Chevy car. She had comp***ion.
Tonight I was Cleaning up seat frames.
Chevy put these stupid staples through sheet metal and felt too hold seat fabric.
I was fighting getting these staples out.
Her comment tonight was "well it's your hobby"
What does your wife say.

 

i'm leaving you. and she did.

 

^^^^Maybe send her a thankyou note?^^^^

 

My wife will let me drive her down to Sonic on Saturday night for some ice cream once in a while and that's the only time she shows any interest whatsoever in anything that has to do with old cars. Of course I have no interest in anything to do with her hobby of gardening so I guess it all evens out in the end....

 

My wife and I talk and laugh all the time ---- right up to when I tell her something about the roadster and then I get a (THATS NICE) and the subject changes!

 

HaHa...ditto here. Bless her heart though, she does attempt to pretend there is an interest there occasionally.

 

I am not sure that my wife listens to me about anything at-all, let alone cars.

 

one day (of many) was under my Model A doing some detailing - wife comes out and asks what am I doing under there? I say detailing. she asks who is going to look under there. I said "people". she said that only road kill will ever see what I have done. I stopped detailing at that point and went for a ride looking for road kill.

 

wives make verbal communication?

 

I've always known I was lucky. My wife is not into hot rods as such but she loves me and will help and support me in the shop and even listen as I try to work through something. Too many times to count she has held a wrench on the other side of a firewall or held up the end of a fender while I got bolts started. She is a master at helping to watch for clearance when pulling or installing engines. When I don't need her in the shop she does her genealogy work in the office and will answer the phone or receive packages so I don't have to stop what I'm doing.

I know some wives aren't that great, but I hit the jackpot. She loves dogs too!

 

Been trying for about 30 years to get my wife interested in cars.

 

Well mine helps with and supports my hot rod affliction.She bought an old CJ7 couple years ago and we both work on it.Guess ya just got to have partner interest.

 

I sold mine to some bikers in Juarez. They're dead now.

 

My wife and I reached an agreement many years ago; she does't fuss about my hobby, and/or the things I BUY that go along with it. BUT, when I SELL something, she gets the proceeds; she has made out very well quite a few times! Happy wife, happy life, as they say. She used to eagerly go to car events, races, and shows with me; I even got her on the drag strip at the All Ford Drags at Bremerton Raceway one year, and she had a better reaction time than I did. Now, she'd rather stay home and watch marathon, cop-type programming on TV all day. But, I always ask, just the same. I am Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Mine asked me the other day When are going for a ride in the 48 (see avatar) ? I say soon ( to much work away from home, in late out early), But soon REAL Soon.

 

Mine has a decal in the p***enger side wing window of her car. " Psst, you just got p***ed by a girl". It's a couple years off topic, but I can live with that.

 

I love my wife don't get me wrong but I come here to get away. Lippy

 

I had to go on a cruise ship to Alaska, take dance lessons, and drink wine. But then I get to go to Bonneville, sleep in a pick up, eat Mexican food, and drive over 200 mph in a Studebaker. Sounds like a trade to me...

 

You GET TO?

 

I am the king of this castle. Sorry got to go wash some dishes talk to you guys later. LOL Lippy

 

"Get that carburetor out of the kitchen sink!"

 

When's the next cruise night?
