Wifes first impression
Took the wife for her first ride in it this morning
Her reaction?
" It's too fast,
It's too loud,
It's too bumpy,
and it's too small!"
Perfect

So, in other words, she validated that it came out exactly the way you wanted it to be, right? It's awesome when your wife supports you like that, she's a keeper.

What's even better is that she "Never wants to ride in that thing again!!"

If it would've been a longer ride, add "it's too hot!". Agree with 7T1, I like being alone in the Vette, for some strange reason...

Most of us have a "relationship" with our 'vettes. Not a romantic one, obviously, like with our wives and girlfriends, but a relationship, nonetheless. Don't let your relationship with your wife/girlfriend interfere with your relationship with your 'vette, and vice-versa. Keep them away from each other. That's why you like being alone with your 'vette, and with your wife/girlfriend. Two's company, three's a crowd.
