Default Tough Life decision...what to do?

I need some advice on what could be a life changing decision.

I've suspected for some time now that my girlfriend has been having an affair. The usual signs. Phone rings, I answer, someone hangs up. She started going out 'with the girls' a lot recently although when I ask which girls it is always "Just some friends from work, you don't know them". I always look out for her taxi coming home but she always walks down the drive although I can hear a car setting off. As if she has got out of the car round the corner. Why? Is it not a taxi? I once picked her mobile up just to see what time it was and she went beserk and screamed that I should never touch her phone again and why was I checking up on her.

Anyway, I have never approached the subject with my g/f. I think deep down I just didn't want to know the truth but last night she went out again and I decided to check on her. I decided I was going to hide behind my car which would give me a view of the whole street so I could see which car she gets out of. It was whilst crouched behind my car that I noticed rust around my rear wheel arch.

Should I take it into a body repair shop or should I buy some stuff from the local auto shop and try to repair it myself?

BTW, yes i know my car is plastic.

Fix one problem yourself and dump the other.

No matter what is happening around you...as soon as you see something wrong with the vette....the universe stops...and nothing else matters...

Rust? or was it a reflection of a Daytona Sunset Orange C6 you saw?

What wife? did she say something to offend your corvette??

Wasn't there a thread about corvette addiction just recently?

You are kidding right? Corvettes do not rust. But the story did catch my attention.

Rust really ??? I am heading out to check mine now .... (wondering to myself, why can a Vette owner not be financially responsible enough to buy his girlfriend a car or bus-pass, so she doesnt need to use taxi)
