you finish one of the projects in your garage and your wife of 4.5 years says "I think that's the first project you've finished since we've been married"?

I remember the first project I finished.................and what the missus said when she first got in it!

We were taking the car down to a spot to take pics....we were going to make calendars to send to the family for Christmas that year. Anyway, the missus gets into the car for the first time and says:

"This car is too low"

--and--

"I don't like these seats -- they're too low and not comfortable"

I look at her and proclaim, "Damn...........been working on this car for almost seven years. You see all the time I've put into it. It's finally complete and THAT's the first thing you can say? E36 M3......"

Well, we go to our spot, take some pics of me and the car..... On the way back, while she's reviewing the pics on her camera, some uh, intended acceleration occurred! Camera and words went flying from the missus

If the car is too low and too uncomfortable, you need to reduce the backpressure from the exhaust.

Her: "THIS CAR IS TOO LOUD!" You: "WHAT?" Her: "I SAID THIS CAR IS TOO LOUD!" You: "WHAT?"

Repeat ad infinitum...

"Slow down!!"

"This car is too low"

"This car is too fast" (I'm pretty sure this is impossible)

"It rides too rough"

My car may be a bit too low, I drag the subframe connectors every now and then, There is a big dip in the road near my house, if I hit it fast enough I can bounce front crossmember off the pavement.

Hell, my wife has an '81 Camaro Z28 (mostly original, 'cept for exhaust) and an '01 Camaro SS. I have a crusty '91 GMC Slonoma and a full size van. The "fun car" factor is in her favor.

I guess I should get the Mini back on the road. One Mini counts for more than two Camaros.

Are you ever going to do anything with that car that's in the garage, and the one parked out front...

4cylndrfury's wife says:: no

thats the only car related quote i ever get out of her.

And, unfortunately, the question is never:

is this car too fast?

is this car too low?

think this is too expensive/rusty/high mileage?

woe is me

Isn't it a shame they don't come with a stick-on mouth (sometimes)like Mrs. Potato Head? Has anyone ever seen the Bridgestone Tire commercial where Mrs.P is ragging on Mr.P while he's driving? I almost peed myself! Ladies, before you flame me real bad, I'm only joking about the mouth part.

That commercial was the E36 M3. Aired during the Super Bowl, didn't it?

You sell a '66 mustang convertible project in favor of a Gateway computer for your intended.

Uh.... dudes, unless your culture chooses your Mrs. for you, it's your own damn fault.

Remind her that a marriage isn't completely finished until there's a divorce or one party kicks the bucket.

I got it good, my wife was mad when I put the race seat in the Datsun and she couldn't reach the pedals, I made her a pad so she can reach and she is happy again. If I want to go to a car show in my Vette she wants to go along in the Datsun :-)
