I know you guys must love your wives,,, I love mine (we've been married 40 yrs.. since 1969!

I'd buy her anything I can reasonably afford.. I just got her an Audi A4 Cabriolet..

I also have a 2005 C6 with only 11,000 miles on it... The only thing I "WON'T" do is let her drive my Vette!! I bought her the car she wanted... so she can be happy in her A4!! if she wants to "RIDE" as a passenger in "MY" Vette I'll take her anytime she wants... but I'll NEVER LET HER TAKE IT ALONE

We've been married 40 yrs so "Both" of us must be doing something right ... Rule #1 My Vette is MY VETTE Not "Our Vette!"

I'm sorry if I PO'd some others, but thats how I do things in our house..

I bought her the car she wanted.. she could have gotten a Vette or Caddy etc.. anything in the 50k range... she picked what she wanted.. and thats what she drives...

All is well in our household... & IF I get broadsided in my Vette while I'm driving I cant yell at anyone but myself...

You can't get wider than 345's!!

The problem was; maybe I shoulda got smaller wheels!!! 13" seemed like a good thing at the time. But with 13.5" tires, it aint a good thing at all!!!

Sorry about the damage to wheel. The damage looks minor so you should be good as new in no time.

I think there's a moral to the story.
