My wife wanted to know when I was going to give Phillips' screwdriver back.


Actually just kidding, she is great at helping. She helped me R&R a motor in my PU truck and is always there when I pull the hood or front end off the Vette. She has learned all the wrench sizes and styles as well as sockets. Since my son moved out, I can't do with out her.

I have a great wife as well. She has been a gearhead since the day I met her. She is always available when I need her help in the shop.

Could not do without her.

Just grin and bare it and watch TV with her for a little while and tell her how much you enjoy it!!! lol
I'm not actually smart enough to follow through with it (either)
:lol:
Well said Wabb. They want to relate to things, just not getting down the weeds about things like lift & duration & why it exists for example; but I can tell her that Blake Shelton sings nice & she thinks I care about her show.

I'm pretty lucky too. My wife might not be able to rebuild a carb but she will help with anything I need on the car. Hey Mark, maybe you can get Missy to show her how. :lol: :lol:
