RE: Overcome by Moparitis

[ledman_70@xxxxxxxxxxx]

My wife gets tickled at me being so passionate about something, but on 
occasion I still have to remind her that if it weren't for my interest 
in cars, I wouldn't know how to fix every other thing that comes along 
with the house, etc, and I probably wouldn't be able to do/build all the 
things I do for her, either! We have a 2 car garage on the house that we 
both park in, and a 32x48 barn where I can play to my heart's content. 
Gentlemen, I raise an imaginary glass to our wifes (and their incomes) 
that allow us to continue playing with our toys!
