You tell your wife your going to buy her a C5, and then she spends so much time on the forum the only way to talk to her is to send a PM. Just thought I'd vent.

I've posted in her thread twice - she has a lot more friends on this forum than you do!

RELAX! She's having fun with the whole thing and trust me when I tell you - it is FAR better to have your spouse participate in your hobby than to have her whining and b1tching that you don't spend enough time with her and that you love your car more than her......ask me how I know this!

The other really cool thing is that you will never be a loss for what to buy for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, Mother's Day, Valentine's Day - you can buy Corvette accessories, apparel and mods!

I think it's great and you both will have so much fun with two Vettes that I'm jealous and I might have to talk Mrs. BS87 into getting one for her!

Yeah, you're right. Plus if I do get her something that she doesn't like, it would probably work on my car, right? Win-win...

My vette could be a covered wagon as far as my partner is concerned. Won't hardly even ride in it. Something about it being too low and hard to get in and out of. BLAH BLAH BLAH.... Get in sit down shut up and hang on I always say.

My problem is wife wants a C6. Already has it picked out. 08 JSB 3LT Vert Z51 NPP Nav. I want to wait.

But when I told her I was going to spend another 3k on the C5, she freaked out. Complained for all the money I've spent on the C5 could have gone to the C6. She just doesn't understand the mod thing.

Count your blessings she wants a C5.
