Default A true story.

When I bought my vette in Oct., the plan was to sell the F150, my daily driver and get a beater to drive to work. ( I had previously sold most of my toys, 4 wheelers, jetski's ect...as I no longer needed a truck and wanted someting that got better gas milage to drive back and forth to work) Yes, my Vette is a garage queen...

I planned on spending between 8k and 10k on a car that would get me around with out fear of it breaking down every 5 minutes. Well that plan did not work out very well, and I settled on a 2003 Audi A4 Quattro for way more than I wanted to spend. The good news here is that I actually did not have a car payment for about 3 1/2 hours.

So Last night I bring home the new to me DD and all is well. My wife and I spent some time fawing or it and then took the kids for a ride in the new car.

All seemed well and we started to pack it in for the night. My wife and I put the kids to bed and went out for a smoke. (we don't smoke in the house...) After the smoke, we turned to go back into the house and I heard something strange. It sounded like a moan. At first I thought I was hearing things, but I heard it again. I asked my wife if she had heard it, and she said "no".

Later that evening I went out for another smoke, and I heard the moan 3 more times! Now I'm pretty sure I am not going crazy, but I heard what I heard. So now I am wondering what the heck is going on...but I went in and hit the sack anyways.

This morning I get up and set off to detail the new DD and I hear it again. Now I'm going WTF!

Then I hear it. I'm mad at you. I turned around and clear as day my Vette spoke to me! "I'm mad at you", she said. I said, "How could you be mad at me?" She replied, "because you think that little sliver thing is going to make you happy." I was shocked to say the least. I told her, "no-one could ever replace you, and you know it. You are just trying to bust my chops." She said, "Got ya!"

So I went about my business cleaning up the new DD and when I was finished, I gave the Vette a good once over. When I pulled her back into the garage and put the DD out in the driveway, I was pretty sure I heard her say...

"I love you too..."

Peace
Willfulone

Hearing things (voices) is nothing to worry about ...
It's when you start answering that people get worried about you.

In all, I got a warm feeling from your story, knowing I wasn't alone.
