Do you have an anti corvette wife
What i mean is if you have a big money repair does she moan about it.when you need to take her car because its snowing do you hear "why cant you have a normal car" things like that.my gal is a great one but shes a little anti corvette when things go wrong,can anyone relate to this...i got her to accept 100 plus dollar oil changes but it kinda ends there how about you.......

She says: It's too low. It's too noisy. It is too hard to get into and out of. She hates it - but that's OK.
She drove it once back in January 2004 and has only ridden in it a couple of times after that. That's OK too. It's MY CAR and I love it!!!
Oh yeah - she has a 2001 Deville that I have spent over $2,000 on in the last 6 weeks for front brake rotors/pads, both front window regulators and right front wheel bearing assembly. 60,000 mi.
I have spent a total of $160 on the Vette maintenance since new (only oil changes) - 17,000 mi. (A lot more on appearance mods though).

Nope, I have the perfect Vette wife and she's smokin' hot too 
She woke me up on my birthday a few months ago and said to me "Lets go get you something fun". We came home several hours later with my black '04 C5 Coupe. Yeah, she's that cool. She keeps pointing out wheels she wants me to get and exhausts that she likes the sound of. She helps me wash it sometimes and likes going to car events. Every once in a while I let her drive it to work and she always comes home with a big beautiful smile plastered on her face. I got an expensive synthetic oil change in the Vette and she wanted it in her car. Don't get me wrong she's not spend happy, we don't do credit cards and only use cash, but when we do have some extra...she comes up with the best ways to spend it. Did I mention she was cool.

I think mine is the best. She actually has all the shows planned out for this year.
Sometimes it seems she is more into the cars then me.
We have a 97 and a 73 so she gets to drive the 97 to the shows.

My wife is pro-Vette but anti-loud exhaust. I just ordered up some Borla Stingers. It will be interesting to say the least! How does the Zepplin song go... Good Times Bad Times...

She can take it or leave it! As far as spending money on the Corvette, what she doesn't know can't hurt me.

I will never be married to someone who tries to control my hobbies. I go to work all day and do what I want. I guess that's why I'm single at 34!

Steph enjoys our vettes as much as I do. She actually makes a list of shows to attend and is always ready to go for a cruise when its nice outside. She also will check the radar to see if any rain is nearby befroe we leave the house. I guess she got that from me.
