Default Am I Crazy!

I currently have a 2004 lemans blue comm that I love to death but, last Saturday my wife and I wnet shopping for a C-6. She told me I could get the C-6 or the Massey Ferguson mini loader and backhoe I wanted to do all the stuff I can't handle myself anymore. The tractor is in the garage this morning next to the 04.

Sounds like you have a great car already. If you got the C6 you would likely would feel it was not worth it given you need a loader and backhoe. Now you got it all !

You made a good choice based on your needs. Can't ask for more than that. Besides, you have a nice ride to begin with.

Well you got what you needed for now. In a couple of months just take the wife out and go shopping for the C6. I am sure she will go for it, just give it some time.

Sweet, now you can make reference to "my hoe" and your wife can't take offense
Smart choice man...I think you should be able to have almost as much fun int the backhoe as the the vette

I've got a case 580SL and an 04 CE vert. They are a great combo to have. You made the right choice.
