Default My wife caught me

In the garage with a drink in my hand and staring at what she calls the "other woman". I wasn't doing anything really. just sort of standing there staring. I think my spouse may be getting a bit jealous...

Is there something wrong with me?

No, this is normal behavior! No change is necessary. Your wife will acclimate in time.

Yes if you sleep in your Vette, no if you sleep with your Wife.

Time to face realty. You may have to get rid of her. Then you can really enjoy your car.

Since I'm the girl here, there's no wife to get jealous.

I do remember liking it much better when my door into the garage had windows. Then I could easily look out at the cars any time I wanted to.

My wife talked me into buying a new Corvette (I had a very nice C5) so I guess I have to keep her even if she gets jealous about the new crystal red C7!!

Talking my wife into getting my crystal red C7 vert was the toughest part of the deal. Now she's calling it "our Corvette."

As long as there are no long hot showers into the wee hours of the morning with your car.

Sometimes mrowc6 gets jealous when I do that, but usually he's sitting right there with me! Usually, it's right after I have just detailed them.

When I totaled my last vette in December 2013, I was thinking of picking up a later year C6Z06. My wife was the one who told me "Just get the new one."

Now, she tells me "You love that vette more than you love me."

I told her "Yeah, but I love you more than golf."

My husband is sick of hearing about mine and it's only queued for production. I think he'll change his mind when it's in the garage. He had a big smile on his face when I pulled in with the yellow C6 five years ago.

My wife saw me waving to our c6 as the door went down."Did I just see you waving to the car" she says!
You are totally normal. She knows you love her more. Life is good!

Is there something wrong with me?

My girl friend looks the same as yours except with black rims and mirrors. My wife is okay with the relationship as long as she's included.

If you own a C7 and you don't give it lustful looks then there is definitely something wrong with you.

Getting a chubber while looking at your vette is perfectly normal.

You can sleep in your car but you can't drive your bed.
