    Well, a guy's got to have his prioities and all 3 of my ex's will tell you what mine are and have always been!!!!....

    #2 was the most amazing! When I met here I was racing sprints, had two Harley's and a jet boat...then 6 months after being married I was supposed to give them all up and sit on the couch watching the idiot box....??????

    Some guys just aren't cut out for married life, me included. I understand Hot Rods a whole lot better then I understand wives and as I get a bit older and a bit more cantankerous I like it that way!!!!

    Ex #3 is my current girlfriend, has been for a bunch of years... We get along great----since about 6 months after the divorce was final. Great lady and excels in the health profession. We both have the utmost respect for the other's talents and would never consider asking the other to give up their life's passion!!!! She doesn't expect me to go shopping with her, and I don't expect her to do any block sanding!!!

    Sounds like a pretty good arraignment

    Dave, I think you are a lucky man; you have your cake and Hot Rods. Your priorities paved the way to your happiness.

    Number 2 went where no other woman has ventured and the couch didn’t have any gauges to watch oil, temp, fuel, volts, etc.

    Dave, wives are treated different then Hot Rods, you don’t take them out and floor them every time you feel the need for speed.

    Number 3 understands your passion and she can give you CPR when you get so excited about your latest build. I bet if you were running close and need a hand she would be there for you with a DA in one had sanding block in the other.

    That’s just the way Great women are. You’re a lucky man.

    Richard
