The Vette may not be the only thing that's gone. Did you check the bank accounts, and your safe deposit box?

If one is married then they know the first rule in the man cave manual is that the wife gets what she wants.

I did that too- Right after I got the wife (already had Ol' Red), we went out cruising. She was fine until I got on the highway. Jumped hard on the go pedal, azz end walked sideways and we were close to 100 at the end of the ramp. She won't even move it in the driveway. And I know she can handle a 4 speed- she's a farm girl.

I thought the first rule is NEVER to teach them how to shoot your guns.

My wife shoots my 45 and she used to drive the Vette - until I put a blower on it.
