I think my wife has got a fever.

She may have figured out that she can keep you at home with the new toys in the garage. First, you won't be going out to borrow them and getting into who knows what kind of debauchery with your friends/accomplices. Secondly, she will be able to keep an eye on who visits you. Lastly, when you're puttering about on the car, particularly using the blast machine, fewer women are going to want to have anything to do with you. Don't believe me? Ask CudaChick if you can see one of her "smurf" pix.
