Do I need professional help.....?
So I'm on my way home from work driving my 99 MN6 coupe. I had called my wife and told her I'd left work and be home soon. It was a beautiful day. As I got to closer to home I'm thinking, "too bad this will be over soon". When I get to the turn off for my house, I just couldn't do it. I was loving it so much I just couldn't put her away and end it. I pass my turn off and just keep driving. I call my wife and tell her I'll be late. It was wonderful. Do I need counseling?

If my husband did that--I would be
with it cause he loves his car and it doesn't bother me. Now that I have my own---I find myself doing the exact same thing---taking the long way home to get as much time in as I can.
I have even been on this forum so much that I am running around trying to get homework and tests done on the day they are due
(I got to school at home for my Bachelor's degree). Just enjoy it as long as your wife understands..Lori

No, counseling isn't needed. I'd say the majority of us have done the same thing many times.

Sounds perfectly fine to me- but after reading some of the replies, it got me thinking- How awesome would it be to just call in sick on the way to work one day and go for an all day road-trip/cruise...

My g/f says I am cheating on her with the vette because I am always finding things to change or add instead of spending "quality time" with her watching Desperate Housewives. It's something to joke about now so I don't worry about it. Enjoy the car. It can't leave or divorce you.
