Default It's a miracle!!!

Well, when I got the 87 5-speed, my wife suggested that she would like a horse. I thought 1 horse for 315 horses was a good trade.

Tonight, she indicated that she "WOULD LIKE THE SILVER 90" when it's done. Is that a miracle or what? This means I don't have to get a horse, and I don't have to find a way not to sell one of the 928's.

That's a miracle in my mind.

I'm keeping her, she's okay, actually more than okay...

Rod, in heaven...

LOL! Congratulations, Rod! She definitely sounds like a keeper... The silver 928, too!

I don't know what happened, but I'm not asking any questions.

Yes, but... since she wants it, that will have an effect on the cash flow associated with repairs. If you know what I mean.

Oh no! Count your lucky stars- there is no such thing as A horse. They get lonely, so you buy a second, then if you want to ride the first, you buy a third, so the second doesn't get lonely. Then you take care of at least 2 acres/horse, plus 40 lbs/horse/day manure. And if you think the Big 3 cost you $$, you don't know any large animal vets very well. Not to mention farriers, trainers, saddle fitters...

My wife has 3 Thoroughbreds, I get one car (now that I bought the 928 the Jag has to go). "Fair" ain't in it, as they say, but I'm happy!

So be glad, be VERY glad, you've gotten out of that horse deal!!!

This is so true!!!

I'm looking forward to my wife finishing school and starting work...with her "picky" competitive nature combined with my "**** freak" self we would make an awesome concours winning team!! Now I just need to find the 928 to do it!
