She will learn from the mistake, But will you learn from yours??? Wife wasnt hurt, car wasnt damaged, whats the problem. Mister, she is your wife have a little mercy.

After reading ALL the posts I can see that you were trying to have some humour. Initially, I just read your first post, then i responded. You still seemed pretty upset over a trivial issue. IMHO

If you want to make your wife look like a smacked, ditzy idiot on the net, thats ok by me. I would NEVER joke around about my spouse like that. To each his own

First time wife wanted to take out the Vette -- exuded angst about how I might worry. Told her so long as I got her back in one piece I didn't give a sh*t about the Vette, it's just a car. Drive it and have a blast. She made every mistake you can in that gizmo-laden car you can, sorted it all out on her own. Now, she loves it.

A little 'tense' in places but some truly great stories. I think most of us can relate these in one way or another. Funny stuff!

I wasn't upset at all, but I can understand how it might have appeared that way because of the title mentioning 'divorce'. I only did that to get attention and attract readers to the post. My only upset was the fact that she might have been seriously hurt had she been unable to get anyone's attention to help her out of the car. Luckily for us both she had her cell phone and I was reached on the first call. Had she been unable to reach me and panicked, she could have passed out in a faint and have succumbed to the heat. But she did nothing to the car and even if she had destroyed the top or window to get out I wouldn't have cared one iota because those are replaceable things whereas my wife is not.

As for her scattered-brained but lovable personality, everyone enjoys the humor in the whacky things she's done so I share them freely and she never minds it when I do. In fact, she helps tell the stories herself so she knows how funny these incidents are. I'm not bashing her by sharing these funny stories with you and I'm sorry if you think I'm somehow diminishing her by so doing. If you wouldn't do so about your wife, that's your personal choice, but I'm not ashamed of my wife or her funny antics and neither is she, so if it gives others something to laugh about, I'm happy to spread some laughs.

How funny! You have to be married (in my case 26 years) to appreciate that statement. Cheers to you! And cheers to a looong and happy marriage.

You know, my Dad said to me on my wedding day that the most important thing in your Mother's and our marriage was humor.

Sounds like you've a wonderful sense of humor & she sounds cute as hell.

Glad your bride wasn't hurt sealed inside your C6 under a searing FL sun.
Perhaps you should take the first opportunity to ride shotgun when she goes out & show her the proverbial ropes as question(s) arise?
Y'know what they say: "A family that drives together, thrives together" or some such.
