Okay...Chump Stumpers...try this one on for the FIRST real challenge: How do I keep my wife off my a** while I am working on my vette??
Seems that everytime I head to the garage with that glazed-donut look in my eyes she comes up with "something/anything" to divert my attention in a direction away from my car....AND I ain't talkin 'bout sex. HELP??

I thinking exactly what capevettes said. I agree that it would be nice to hear the resolution from the person posting the question. I try to remember to let everyone know what my result was when I ask a quesiton, but no need to call out someone for a wrong answer, even if it were supposedly all in fun, especially on the net, it could easily be taken the wrong way.

like a #3 treble hook in a catfish jaw...wif xtra barbs, and chicken livers for bait....I'm attached to her like green on buggers, kinda swell I guess...I just wish she would quit wakin me up when she gets outta bed to go to work, then she's got the nerve to call me at noon to see what I'm doin. About the time I'm gettin the hankerin to do some real grub work, here she comes, in the door...whinin and cryin about how hard her day has been..oh, WAA....then I got to listen to all that while I'm trying to beat a dent out of the front fender with a ball peen hammer......even turnin the stereo up don't drown her out!!
But thanks guys for tryin to cheer me up!!

Been there...................
To truely have piece, you must share the pie.
I take it she isn't big on the vette?
Offer up how good it is/will be to have her ride with you.
Ask for help/suggestions on her vision.
Make it about HER.
Tell her it will be for you both.
Hope the unhappiness can be turned.
I take it the worlds not being nice to her,,, quess who gets extra duty
to offer nice stuff.
Feel for ya

I'll give you an example...... WARNING...This is not for the faint of heart!!!
The other day, the wife wanted to go shopping. (I hate malls and she knows it!!)
She went from one Women's store to another trying on God knows how many outfits!!..I stood outside the Fitting Room like a "Human Coat Rack" holding assorted pieces as she paraded in and out asking "Do you like this one?...Did you like the other one better?...etc"... 
Knowing full well at some point the imfamous "Do I look FAT?" balistic missle will be launched and if you're not alert and ready...YOU'RE TOAST!!! 
Four frigging hours later she finally settled on a couple of items and we came home.
After that...the rest of the evening went ..shall I say..."rather well" :o
and I was granted full pardon for all acumulated hours of "vette abandonment" 
I'm now free to continue the cycle
