I bought a 1998 tonight, pick it up tomorrow. I have not told my wife. I wonder what she will do tomorrow when she sees it?

Could be like mine and every time I spend money she tries to out do me... Lets see.. I bought the vette last year.. What has she got so far... Hmm New 04 Rustang GT, Bedroom suite (I know I sleep on it too but nothin was wrong with what we had), another damn cat, oH can't have new furniture without a new make over of the bedroom... I got stuck painting it for the third time in 4 years....

Just wait you too will pay.... Cool though that you got a new car.. what's the details on it????

Vert, 3x black tons of goodies: wood dash, chrome wheel centers, exhaust tips, 20,000 miles, new cover, complete set of shop manuals ect. It is just what I had been looking for.

Well you will want to sleep in the garage anyway so it should work out.

I know that both you and the 98 will enjoy the peace and quite of the garage and after a little practice you will get use to sleeping in it but not to worry she will eventually get over it and welcome you back into the house, but keep her in your sights at all times,they can turn on you quicker than a cornored bear. Good luck and enjoy that 98 Tom

You did it right, Andy- buy the car and then explain it.

Remember: It is easier to beg forgiveness that request permission!

Guys, thanks for the support.

First ticket IT goes or YOU go !!!

I think I got off easy, this time?

I have no idea why I did not buy on sooner. All I have been doing is driving it.
