So how many times have you gone out to the garage just to stand and look at the new car?

I'll bet you do the "look back" when you go into a restaurant or store and I bet you drive by stores with plate glass windows so you can see the reflection.
Congratulations!

You leave your car ALONE in the garage??

My wife says I should just put a bed in there because I spend more
time with the Vette than I do her!

Me too! last week I paused at the hardware store door and was just savouring the sight of Old Blue in the front space of the lot. A young guy stopped beside me and said "Sweet Vette!", and I had the pleasure of thanking him and claiming it as mine! Simple pleasures are sometimes the sweetest...

Congratulations!

I thought that was just me.

My wife says I should just put a bed in there because I spend more time with the Vette than I do her!
And you should have replied, "Cool Honey, I thought you'd never ask. Will you still bring my beer out to me when I'm empty". Many women just don't understand that true love is not always that gooshey stuff they want us to do with them. (I didn't say to them so no flaming)

Would you rather sit on the sofa with her and watch Sleepless in Seattle or sit in the Vette and crank up some "Foreigner".
