I love my both boys (26 & 22). But no more baby seats, strollers, diaper bags, pony league and worst of all college tuitions (should end this December) not to mention laptops, ipods, iphones, etc, etc, etc...

As soon as they start working;
1. New Paint job by Burke's Corvette.
2. Kenwood Nav. new amp and upgrade all speakers (10" sub).
3. Headers and metallic cats.
4. P&P perhaps by SGC.

Maybe my wife will leave me?!...I meant alone...

Me if I got that ultimadum the wife would be gone.

I havent consulted one car purchase with my wife I just bought them since we have been married back in 2002 I have bought 5 ZR-1 2 of them parted out, one Ferrari, and traded one ZR-1 for a 68 427/400 coupe project.


plus three deployments to Iraq so I guess since im alive and well I can buy what I want when I want with my money

So which should I get rid of, the car or the wife?

Well it looks like your starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm just starting to enter the tunnel. Both my daughters are 8 and 10 so I've got a long ways to go to get to where your at brother. The part I worry about is when they start dating. I don't even want to think about it.

Don't mean to snatch the thread but 4 years ago my water pump and radiator was leaking so I figured I would replace the pump and the radiator. After about 6 hours radiator was in place and I was torquing down my water pump bolts. All of a sudden I felt my left side go weak. So I sit on the curb (I live in a condo so the work was being performed at the car wash area) and smoke 2 cigarettes thinking I pulled my muscle. No. I realized I was having a mild heart attack. I thought about calling 911 on my cell phone but that meant deserting the car out in the open w/ a few bolts strewn about with the hood open - NO WAY!
I gathered all my strength and torqued down all bolts, slipped on the accessory drive belt, reconnected accordion and drove the car to my spot in below grade parking and literally crawled to elevator and to my unit.
During 4 days of recuperation I had my leak free ZR-1 to go back to.
And you ask choice between my wife and ZR1?
I am perfectly fine and healthy today.

Sorry to hear of her passing. I hope you understand that we are all sorta joking around.
