RE: wrenching partner

[Steven Charette <stevec@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ex-wife (#2) was like that.  Emphasis on the "Ex".  She talked a good game
until we walked down the aisle.  Sold my '63 to buy her a travel trailer and
all was fine until I bought my Barracuda.

First wife's last comment as a married woman was "It's either me or that
car!", to which I replied... "Do you need a ride anyplace?"

Candidate for #3 is looking great so far :)

You guys are so lucky...My wife doesn't even show any inclination to ride in
my 65 Coronet, let alone help me.
I once asked her to help me bleed the brakes. She did but wasn't happy about
it.
She looks at my garage as a snake pit.....
