I don't know about you, but I can't stay away from my vette. My wife and I got home from a late dinner at about 11:00 pm. I told her I was going to park the car and I just got home from a 90 minute joyride.

I'm surprised she didn't call the cops! I know I probably would have!

I hear you, I have to admit I am the same way its ironic last night we went to a county fair to see Martina McBride and when we got back at 11:30 PM and I see the Vette in the garage I realized I needed to go to the 24 hr grocery store in my Vette ......My wife says "really"
