You must have had something to offer, stripers only liked me as long as the money was going into their G-string. lol
I was a bar tender in my younger days and only dated the waitresses because they (most) never went home with patrons and were usually pretty, in fact I married the last one I went out with 30+ years ago and still going strong.

Well played! I must admit, I admire your taste.

Remember the old Sesame Street game "One of these things is not like the others..."? Let's play...

Seriously though, 30 is FANTASTIC!!! Wishing you many more.

Beauty and brains, what else could a man ask for right? Except for a maybe a gal that'll get out and turn a few wrenches with you like in the show, Live, Love and Wrench. My wife said she'd mess up her manicure, no way.

Well, she actually did say yesterday to me as I was washing them, "oh great, I guess my car is never getting washed again". Lol

2 trucks and a 4 door el camino. Van for work, ram for play and avalanche for the dog I'm guessing. Seems like 2 are needed and the third is just a spare. Not sure I'd want to insure 3 trucks myself.

The Van and the Avalanche are on commercial auto policies so triple what normal car insurance is. I sometimes work in a city and have to fit into a parking garage. The wife actually enjoys driving the avalanche with and without the dogs. She just likes to break my balls when I park them in the street and they take up 1/3 of my cul-de-sac

Can you trade the wife for another truck?

I used to tell girlfriends when they would get on my case about wrenching on cars back in high school. They would say that's all you do, you care about your car more than me, and I was always quick to reply "That's because my car is going to last longer" ............... The kicker is I was always right too hahaha

Sounds like she's trying to trick/guilt you into washing her car.


Lol. Vehicles are all my responsibility. It's a Honda, can out last a roach in a nuclear holocaust and she won't let me put rims and other goodies in it, so it's just another car.

The truth is, it's actually me trick/guilting her into a Challenger! I'll be keeping that pristine, just like my trucks!

Well good luck on getting challenger approval. If she's happy with her stock honda and a car is for transportation type it might be a hard sell

Nah, stay at home mom. That car will get like 4k miles a year on it unless I drive it. So, ok 8k per year!

It's just a bigger car and my wife is 5'2". She has a lead foot, likes the need for speed, so hates her Honda, not made like they used to be. She really likes the old school muscle look of the Challenger. Done deal as long as when she test drives, it doesn't feel too large. I'm crossing my fingers, knocking on wood, hoping, praying and all kinds of other weird ****!

Get in it first and raise the seat as high as it goes and the pedals nice and close to improve your odds. If that doesn't work try voodoo.

I had bought a Camaro RS in 2010. My wife was with me. On a good day she was 5'1". She liked it at the dealership, but within a week, hated it with a passion. Said OK, even though I liked it, Momma knows best, went to dealership and traded up to a Silverado. Dat POS within 1,000 miles would not start multiple times. Once had towed from an Army base to dealership. The lemoned it out and gave me another same brand new truck. I went to RAM in 2012 and have not looked back, just saying...

At one time I had 6 with plates on them, dog truck, back up for the dog truck with fuel tank, my good truck , hemi of course, water truck, garbage truck ( 49 dodge ) Sunday truck ,57 with baby hemi, 2 3ton trucks with gas motors 1960's IHC, than a tandem '75 with 855 13sprr., parked all in a row , took a bit of space, "She" thinks I have too many tools and guns, WTH do they know?
Plus there where 3-4 that where not plated, just for back up to the back ups.
BTW, old trucks on the farm don't cost much tp plate/insure, but if they get smucked, you don't get much out of it, ||But where we are insurance comes with the plated, which I think is good, everyone that drives has insurance coverage

No such thing as too many tools or guns either.
I watch LivePD it seems like no one has registration or insurance on anything. They must go to the dealer make one Payment on the car and then say catch me if you can

My wife tells me I have too may tractors, so I bought a backhoe. No it didn't go over well. Looks like you need another truck, hmm flatbed maybe?
