My wife kept "our" Corvette today, but came by and took me to lunch in "our' Corvette before she left it for me to drive home.

I let her take my Trailblazer SS home, but only if she promised not to challenge any Mustangs at stoplights.

It's good to share your Vette with your trophy wife on Corvette day.

It counts and it is great that you both can share the joy of owning and driving a Vette.

driving "our" corvette on Drive your Vet to Work Day was great . Riding home in it with my wife was priceless . As long as I waited to get a vet, having her to share it with makes it perfect.

trophy wife?

a wife isn't a trophy, she's a partner.
