Re: Christmas present
She sounds like a good sport! My wife on the other hand thinks I'm just wasting time and money by putting my truck together again. She's right of course, but it doesn't stop her from wanting to drive it whenever she can! Now if I can only get her to admit to liking the truck!

Re: Christmas present
She must realize that most men have either had an extramarital affair OR fixed up a car/truck/hotrod by the time they reach 45 years old. That make the truck look REAL good.
