"Say What" is the little section of the magazine with words of wisdom from the message board.

What about for every dollar amount you spend on a project car, you budget 10% of the purchase cost to get her something nice too? That way there's incentive for her when you to get more expensive project cars!

Funny, My wife thinks that for every $.10 of challenge budget I need to spend $1.00 on her.

Here's a great shop tip: Look outside once in a while. There are Lots more women out there , than good project cars!

Remind her what you could be doing with your time and cash!

After watching " Who wants to be a millionare" I snuggled up to the squeeze and said lets do it. " not now ' she answered..... Final answer? "yes , final answer" so I told her I was going to use my phone a friend!

( always works, every time !)

Well my wife is getting a new Laptop this weekend (picks it up today) so she said I could look at / go after the miata that was local.

I get there, it is a green 1992 with tan leather interior, the body is in great shape, and it even has a hardtop. (resell that to the Spec Miata racers).

Things look good, but then I get in it, I put my feet in and I am like "wait a second, where is the cluthc pedal"?

Its a berkeleying automatic......

Just my luck, I passed on the car...
