My Silly Wife

She says to me,* “Hey, remember that cute little car on Craigslist a while ago? The one the guy said runs fine, but you called him and it was all messed up. Well, it’s back on Craigslist, listed “As Is”.”*

I was pretty proud of myself for resisting the first time around. But since then, I sold one car, gave away another and had a third one hauled off this morning (I didn’t own it, I just sold it for someone).

And I caved. I’ll drag it home tomorrow. :mad:

Eh, I think I only paid 1/3 of what its worth. And I think I’ll get it running, and sell it for a lot more. Or keep it forever, which is more likely. :rolleyes:

But she shouldn’t have said a word. :dubious:

Well, what did you buy?

[Beckdawrek]

Guys and their cars.

[burpo_the_wonder_mutt]

One each for the Killer Doxies?

He said “car” not “Jeep”. The Killer Elite ride in Jeeps.

[burpo_the_wonder_mutt]

Who stipulated “ride”?

You will be keeping it, because it is obviously going to be her car. Honestly, how do men miss these obvious facts?

'77 Fiat Spider. Very solid and lots of tasty parts.

You’ve been paying attention. Teddy says, “Hi!”.

She won’t touch it. I bought her a “new” car in March, anyway. She seems to enjoy it, but I like it less every time I drive it. A CVT and horrible visibility. It has more blind spots than Stevie Wonder.

Oh Man! That looks so much like Trixie, I nearly shit myself! (nearly/actually is relative. Don’t judge me)

I had to turn that off after it ended. The next video was something like “100 funniest Dox videos”, and I ain’t got that kind of bandwidth! Or time.

Well, actually I got nothin’ but time…

:rolleyes:Depending on who you believe, that may not be the best way to put that.:smack:

and what kinda car guy starts a “just got a project” thread with no year/make/model or pix?
can’t wait to see the little bundle of joy. Congrats:)

The best part was Doxie surveying the damage then trotting off, happy tail a-waving, as if to say I got this beat.
