I'm in trouble, bought another car
So I get stuck in Rochester for the weekend because I get an ear infection and cant fly home, what to do?
A guy at work "talks" me into driving down to NYC so he can look at a '95 C2S Carrera. He doesnt like the car, but I buy an '81 Euro SC that someone elses has invested a huge amount of money in, so I have two questions:
1. How to tell the wife that another P-car followed me home (Money Pit 1&2).
2. Where can I get a bumper sticker that is shaped like the outline of a 944 that says "Real P-cars have a water pump"
If I wasnt broke before I will be now <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />

hahaha, you have it made... you have the "wife" to yell at you when you buy another one... me, well, I dont have a wife... so I just buy the car when a good deal comes along. I am back down to 2 p-cars now but in the back of my mind I am still in the market to make it 3 again.
84 - 944na 47,000 documentable mileage
86 - 944na-Turbo front clip
80 - 924, SOLD one part at a time
looking for an 86-87 951... but I may have to sell one of the others first.

I've got 4, one in the semi-stripped in the back yard somewhat hick-style (it is covered though). and one on jacks in the front midway through a clutch job.
The wife has five dogs though so I get to harbor as many P cars as she does dogs. Needless to say, our "docks" are quite full.

Let's see.................
Well honey, I had an ear infection and couldn't fly home to you. I got to thinking how I missed you and really needed a back up plan if the ear infection stayed for a long time, so................

I appreciate the suggestions, if it turns ugly or when, I am leaning towards "so it is okay for you to go buy a new mercedes, but I am not entitled to buy a used car". I have a lot of work to do on it, plus I went to the Coach store and bought her a purse she wanted and I figured I would get $1000 in twenties to stuff in the purse, wrap it up and give it to her. The minute she opens it she will ask what did I buy, how mad can she be as she heads to the mall? Or just save the money and take the beating like a man. Either way I will keep the car
