Well, my wife is pretty good with my "illness" as well. She lets me read my Automotive sections of the paper, the classifieds, Autotrader, Car & Driver, etc all weekend long if I want to.
She even doesn't mind being dragged to car shows and dealerships.
But. She can't drive a manual transmission car all that well. She took lessons, and tried to drive the new Focus, but got a little discouraged.
I know she could at least drive the car if I had a spastic attack or something at the wheel and drive me to a hospital, but otherwise, I know she would have not been happy if I'd bought another SVT Contour, thereby forcing us to sell her 99 Corolla automatic to afford it...Or to at least justify the purchase. We barely need 2 cars, certainly not 3 by any practical stretch.
Oh well. Someday, when I have more "disposable" income (money to burn, more money than brains) I will get either a cherry SVT Contour to keep forever, or any year SVT Cobra convertible. Preferably a very cheap, very well kept 96 convertible in t-red with tan leather.
blah blah. I'm rambling. Slow day at the laundromat for me.
