Default "His, Hers, Ours"

Well, the wife and I were out sanding on the Corvette today, and she let it slip that this is OUR car.... as long as it is being restored. When it is finished, it becomes HER car. How do I break the bad news to her, or am I the one in for a surprise?

It's like I just told my wife as she was parking the c3 in the garage, I love good looking women in corvettes. I have the feeling you are working on her car.

If I had a woman that would help sand , the first vette would be hers, I'd figure she earned it, mine wont, so both vettes are mine, she gets the mini van. you are a lucky man

oldgto, how did that happen. It must be an automatic. My wife is claustrophobic and won't even get in the car. I insured the car with me as the only driver. Maybe your wife will let you drive yours. Dude?

I'd be ok with that as long as the Pontiac were mine.

I could be worse. She could hate the car and then nothing good happens after that.

Put a "for sale" sign on it. It's your car, or it gets sold. That's what i would do.

As a matter of fact, no, I haven't ever been married, why do you ask?

Install a really stiff clutch, very loud mufflers and disconnect the radio. She will give it to back to you.

Tell me about the Grand Prix. Looks like a 69. I had one and wish I never let it go. Best car I ever owned. Fast and luxury all in one package. Boy I miss that car.

I want to know how you get into the Mustang or GP? Bo or Luke Duke style? Looks like there is no room to open the doors.

It`s a tight squeeze, but I can get the door open about half way on the Grand Prix. (Yes, it`s a 69. It has a 455 in it, the original 400 is on a stand, needs a rebuild). The Mustang we push out to work on it. It still needs a carb and brake lines to finish it up.

69 Grand Prix:
