Default How cool was this...

Last night the wife tells me she needs to drive the C6 to work in the morning and I need to drive her SUV. Being the generous husband that I am I "grant" her the ability to drive the car to work. She works in a mall and all I could think about all day was.....door dings, people walking by the car scratching it with bags...etc..

When she gets home today she calls me and asks me to come out...then she lets her roar... check out what she had installed today as a Christmas present....





I will see if I can take better pics during the day and post them later.

The wife just gained major brownie points in my book!

Very, very, very cool! You owe her big time for that one! And she's expecting it now, so get off the computer and go pay her back!

My best friend and co-worker had a nice xmas as well. His wife bought him a 06 Mustang GT convertible for Christmas. Had it delivered right to the house last week off a flat bed. I thought that was pretty damn cool (well even if it was a Mustang )

First words out of his mouth: Hey we gotta go race.

First words back to him from me: Hey you are gonna have your *** handed to you. Make a few mods and call me next week

She's a keeper. I think she's really saying: How about a trip to Hawaii, after you drive the car for awhile? But seriously, I'm getting underwear, and I'm very jealous.
