My wife catches me...

Been off line since yesterday.

When I sit on the garage floor staring at my GT I usually have a camera (and find good light so I have an excuse). It's easier when you have a backup excuse.


I think you don't need help yet. Think about it when you start thinking about moving the couch and TV to the garage.

I know, with all the man cave pictures I have seen, there are others that sit and do the same. Please tell me I am not alone.

You ARE alone! The rest of us sit on a folding chair...if not a La-Z-Boy...NOT the floor! :wink

A while back the wife and I were updating the will and as we came to the GT I told her that if I die first who she should call to help her sell the thing. Without batting an eye or cracking a smile she stated "why would I sell the GT, it's what I will use as bait to get my next husband". I told her to tell him it's a blast to "floor a GT" on the first cold Idaho morning....:bored

Many times when Mrs. Spirit catches me in the garage with the GT, she will just sit down beside me and also stare at it, words are not necessary.
I am a fortunate man.

Nobody likes a bragger!


.....but keep it up, 'cause it's nice to know there are guys that found a winner!

My wife noticed that the more time I spend in my garage looking at my Yellow GT, its value seems to increase...

As usual Ralphie - short comment that just sums it up perfectly :thumbsup:rofl:facepalm:

My wife is very tolerant - but still I take no chances :wink - so I just keep rotating the car inventory so fast that she has no idea what´s going on in the garage :biggrin

:cheers

You could be sitting in a bar staring at women instead of at home staring at your car!

May the Spirit stay with you. Redheads make life interesting.

Wife catches me taking photos of the GT of which she titles as: Real Car Guy.

A shot in front of the shop and her title for this one is: Real Pretty

She actually enjoys the car hobby. She is leading our annual "All Ladies Day Drive" where a group of 11 or 12 drivers bring special interest, sport, customs, exotics along with guests to ride along. Each half hour or so, they stop and exchange passengers. This way, most all the riders get to be in a different car throughout the day. A stop for a group lunch, more driving and then back to our home for some afternoon refreshments where the husbands will meet with the group to share in the experience of the Ladies Day Drive. It's actually a ton of fun.

Gentlemen,

The only reason I sit in my garage (still do after 8 years of ownership) and stare at my Ford GT is because I can't get the GT into my living room.
