This should be fun

Last August I took first place in a car show with the 78...by October I bought the 69....I want to return to that show next August with both cars,so my wife must get use to driving the 78 again...(she has not driven the 78 for 15 years.)..also that show sent me a letter the 78 gets back in free to compete for the Mayor's trophy...
Guess what? She goes out and inspects the 78 and says I must get the hood and T-tops re-painted !! (since the show,the hood weather checked a little)...

It just might be cheaper to get a girlfriend on the side who won't mind driving the '78 as-is.

You gotta keep a women like that, my wife wouldn't notice if the vette was out of the garage for a week............But I still love'er she never moans and groans about the cash I spend on her ( the vette I mean)

I call her Gena (the vette), My wife's girl friends gave the car the name because of all the time I spend under her (the vette)

Happy New Year To All!!!
