He is getting help with the install thank GOD! He is already there.....the pipes and such were only here for 10min and he was gone! As I mentioned in another thread....this 73 is going to cost WAY more than my 97! But it keeps him home and at least he is not running around with other women right?????? YIKES! someone help me!

Women love the look of the 73 as you drive down the street, and often ask for a "ride". Just warning you...

Most 73s are safe for the hubby to drive around.
It's the silver ones with fresh paint that will get him in trouble.

Honestly, though ... 73 with sidepipes will draw the attention of most hotties.
The good news is that they don't like the smell of the exhaust in their hair.

if you hold the checkbook and you let him get sidepipes and the time to put em on i'd say he's found his hottie - she's standing by the 97!!!

don't worry just ask him which car he wants to take on a day like today and he will be sitting in your vette with the AC on enjoying the comforts of life....

Good for you Silver! There is nothing like having a good woman supporting you. Took me two try's but I found my soul mate eight years ago. She was HELPING rebuild the carb the other night...I had to chase her out of the garage with a hammer ..really she supports everything I do with the Vette and doesn't mind the hotties waving as long as I wave back and keep rolling...
