Wait, WHAT? The guy who holds the SPB track record at nearly every top racetrack in America is signing off? What next? Spec Cayman?

Not going to let you hijack your own thread with this silly interruption.

My wife just started buying jewelry everytime I bought a car.

Seems fair!

Let the record show: Some women will sell their jewelry to buy a race car.

What's the saying again?
Oh yeah, you can sleep in a race car but you can't race a house

Time to man up and be the MAN of the house; king of the castle, the BIG dog.

No woman that tells you that you better get rid of it or else is worth keeping.

AMEN!!!!

I could never make someone I love give up something they love..............what a terrific way to create an enormous mountain of resentment.


GREAT CAR!!!! Have added it to "The List"

You probably missed the fact that I have the sister car to the PO's -- that way I would have 2 blue SPBs -- post divorce -- hoping to have 1 :-)

Now she'd probably take all the spares tho...

I agreed to "cut back a little." Heading back to Road Atlanta this weekend, then 4 days at VIR, then the Daytona PCA race.

Glad to see the sale has stalled and you are still driving.

My wife doesn't like me going to the track but she knows I would be an even more miserable SOB if I didn't so she puts up with it.

Marriage is about compromise and retaliatory spending.
