Well, O.K., but you know what happened to Sir Paul McCartney! I'd get this in writing or better yet, whisper it while walking up the aisle. If you get any conditions tell her you're gonna be late for the door. It'll be a great story to revisit down the road at each anniversary. Best of luck.

If she said the vet has to go,She would have to go IMO. But since she said it could stay maybe she's OK! 32 years in August,,She's the one who found my first vet,,,,She's a keeper.

If your wife to be is very controling, then you need to think twice.

My wife is very supportive. Bought my vette than the wife and re-did the garage, driveway, and a few other things so that I could indulge in my hobby.

My bro's car is up on the lift getting a complete makeover. Parts all over the house, garage, basement, etc ...

It's all about mutual support, if ya ain't got that, then you need to find a new model.

Best of luck, if she's the right one.

thanks for the kind words!!!

she is the most passionate and caring person that I have ever met! She loves the Vette and shares many interests that I do as well as myself sharing in her interests!

I have said to "Run" many times to many people... I just can't take my own advice this time

I post some pix later on!

Another one bites the dust

Im 31 and married. My advise to you and that is to listen to 99mallett. And for her to give you permission to keep the vette. Oh boy, it's one of those I need permission type marriages. Thats one good thing about my marriage. But yea RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marriage is overrated and you don't need a piece of paper that ties you down to 50% of what you own. Hope you take my advise if not then congrats and I mean that

32 years here and I keep saying to my wife that you get less time for murder

You'll have the ups and downs as we all do but it's a great institution. My wife is also my best friend

CONGRATULATIONS and great news about the Vette. You obviously found a winner.
