Default The Wife Wants it GONE

Fully compliant to PCA Club Race rules, current logbook, raced in 2017 at Sebring, Road Atlanta, Watkins Glen, VIR, Mosport, Road America, and Daytona. Weighs 2,650 with driver and fuel. Wins at Road America, Mosport, and Daytona Speedway. Podium finishes at HSR's The Mitty at Road Atlanta and PCA Club Race at VIR. My wife wants the car gone. A steal at $32,000.

I've seen this before! Hasn't the car been on the market for two years but you still keep on driving it and enjoying the baby blue?!

I know a divorce lawyer who charges much less than $32k.

Why do guys marry women who TELL them what to do?
When did men stop being men?
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.

That castle's likely to have 4 wheels and a trailer hitch, and a bunk bed above a blue SPB :-)

I'm sad to see this thread has stalled - it was just getting awesome with the responses.

What's wrong with a mobile castle?

Better to live in a tent with a loving respectful wife than to live in a mansion with a complaining disrespectful nag.

NJMP is going to have over 25 SPBs this year... seems like Baby Blue needs to make a road trip. With a "For Sale" sign on it of course.

Ha! Make sure you position it as an advertising expense. How can you possibly sell a car without them seeing it? And NJMP is going to be a big field!

Chris is always trying to pack the SPB field so he can haul in more Toyo Bucks.

Ha - we are WAY over toyo buck packing status. We're at 24 SPBs now and considering this might be my last SPB race.. I want to go out with a bang. And that doesn't mean someone hitting me.
