I thought it was "Happy Let's Go Watch The SmackDown At WalMart Over A Crappy Lap-Top Day".

My wife said she didn't see any smack downs at the Wally World.
She did say "alot of women had their husbands with them". I'm curious. Is seeing more men out shopping a metrosexual thing, or are the husbands trying to keep a handle on the holiday spending? Or do they just not have corvettes in the garage that need their attention. Another thought. The husbands might have been waiting for a good cat fight over a "Crappy-Lap Top"

Not everyone is a "manly man" like us. When my g/f takes me to her friends' parties, I typically end-up hanging out with the other b/f's (she doesn't let me near her "swinger" g/f's...), shooting the sheet.

Naturally, as the topic of cars comes up, most of 'em look at me like or when I mention I'm (re)building mine. 99% of the guys out there wouldn't/couldn't use a wrench if their life depended on it. Why, when a new BMW payment is only $399?

So...what's left to do with all that spare time? Shopping!

I went shopping for corvette related stuff on turkey day, like I bought a ramp, a new toolset, and ordered some weatherstripping...does that count as bad shopping? I'm not that great with a wrench, but I have friends that are

Boy, ain't that the truth. Most of them probably don't know what a screwdriver is. Then there's the guys that think that I'm an expert at auto repair and start asking me these bizarre questions. I keep telling them that it's a hobby. I look things up, ask questions, read and then try to fix it myself. I don't know why your headlights won't get any brighter....user error maybe???
