Congrats on 40 years!
My wife and I just passed 21 years...our first anniv was celebrated at Marine Corps Base 29 Palms CA. High school sweethearts, she was 18 and had just graduated high school, I was 21. We had dated since she was 14
...I have two girls now, one 16 and the other 11.
Here is picture of our first family outing in both vettes...she drives the Z when both cars are out...pretty damn good I might add

Congratulations! The Wife and I just had a 31st. Marriage has always been a compromise in many ways. I get a new interior for the Corvette, she gets hardwood floors. I get a paintjob, she gets a new kitchen. I get a new driveway, she gets a patio. The list is very long....

That 4:11 is fun to run thru the gears in though...
I once had 4.11's in a 57 chev truck 327/350 HP(Corvette engine)...it screamed at 60...

Anniv joke:
A husband found himself in big trouble when he forgot his wedding
anniversary.
His wife angrily told him, "Tomorrow there better be something for me in
the driveway that goes from zero to 160 in five seconds flat."
The next morning, the wife found a small package in the driveway. She opened it
and found a brand new bathroom scale.
Visiting hours for the husband at the hospital are limited due to the
extent of the injuries.
