Tom Wahl's is a lot closer for me. I'm traveling for work Monday & Tuesday next week but I may be back for Tuesday night. I'll shoot you a PM if I think I can make it.

I'm supposed to meet up with another 68 Scarlet 442 hardtop at Mac's Drive In in Waterloo next Wednesday. Too bad they never seem to have more than 10 cars there. They certainly have the nostalgia factor going for them:

We've had so much rain I've hardly driven the car

 

I have direct deposit into our account and OT and raises have a separate account in a different bank over the last 10 years.

 

I drive by Mac's at least every other week when going to Waterloo or S/Falls for work. Last time I was there for a cruise in was in the 80's with my Olds.

 

Dr Phil would probably have a lot to say about this thread. I honestly think my wife would fall out and die if I brought a project in on budget. But I also have a good understanding of where the line is too! We enjoy the banter back and forth. I took my engine to Steve Ashworth Performance to have new gaskets installed. Yeah right. She is still asking what performance gaskets are? I identify most with the comments from Eric and Allan above. Seems to me it is a give and take kind of thing. By the way we still haven't seen the dyno results. That will be the ultimate determination of whether the money was well spent or not

 

Its always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission!

 

Wife started getting the CC bills this week.
Gotta be on the DL for a while.

 

Jay Leno once said "My wife would rather I come in the house smelling of grease, petrol and exhaust fumes than perfume." You might be able to use that sometime.

Good luck. Oh, there are a lot of women in the world. Sounds like your car is a one off.

I think you might have to restrain yourself for a few years if you want to keep both.

 

That's a GREAT line. Will need to try and remember it.
