Default I thought this was cool

So I get home from work and my wife greets me at the door and hustles me up to my home office to show me what she made for me and I see this.



She had two pictures of my car that I shot, One eventually became my avatar (thanks Jami) and one that I just thought was an great picture blown up and framed in 8x10. I'm lucky, I have a wife that gets it.

Not very many men get a woman who understands their is always going to be that other "love" in your life... and that shes just going to have to get along with her b/c shes staying in the same house.


That was nice of your wife.

I'm lucky, she's a Corvette girl. She loves the car and loves the lifestyle. I haven't been able to get her to pose with it yet.....but I'm working on it

That's awesome Paul - both the pictures and your wife!

I am also one of the fortunate ones to have a wife that participates in almost all of the Corvette functions - except for cleaning and detailing!

She loves the car and the friends we've made along the way!

Here's to the wives!
