Default Jealousy......

I have a 94 6 speed that I love. BUT, is it normal to be jealous of my wife's ex husband and his 09 ZR1, 76 C3, 06 Viper, 08 XLR-V....not to mention his new diesel pusher and Hemi Crew Cab Ram?

I guess you could be a little jealous, but remember you have his ex wife!

sounds like your wife should have shopped around a little more when looking for her divorce lawyer

Look at it this way, you wife's ex husband got all these toys but obviously could not "swing it" right or he has a "small problem".

Be proud, "your car" runs faster

If he ever pulls his financial strengh on you, just say this; "yep, she told me about your "little problem" and look deep into his eyes and smile
