Is Your Wife Supportive?

My wife enjoys the hobby some and is EXTREMELY tolerant of purchases and the 'junk yard' of parts cars in the back. The Mopar budget is foolishly higher than the savings budget, and selfishly higher than the wife's share. I didn't save for a shop build when i got my house so I converted one of the bedrooms into a paint booth-pretty f*ing tolerant. When it was a hundred degrees out she really didn't complain much when I grinded on a cylinder head in that back room.
Strokerscamp came down to help me with some igition problems with my road runner and he was overwhelmed with car parts piling up-there is a shelf system now.

My wife works at Advance Auto-it's not where I met her, just the grace of God.
She changes all of the cars oil when I am deployed or when I am busy. I taught her a bunch of stuff when she started the car parts job, and now she teaches me. She is an excellent reference point for how much a part should cost. If anybody wants the 6 digit code for employ discount pricing-pm me-doesn't work on oil, & the lowest priced items. Even bigger discounts come from shopping on advance auto online- they are tryng to compete with rock auto and the online and in-store employees do not always understand the system-my buddy has saved over $300 dollars on less than $600 dollars worth of online and instore purchases using the online coupons that advance gives customers.

Not the number one car-lover-wife, but top notch in my life. Plus, once one of these old cars becomes hers, she'll be hooked, no doubt.
