Helpful Mopar wife/GF or not...
My wife loves old cars, and loves to drive them. She doesn't care about performance, just torque to move through the hills. For a while, her car was a '66 Fairlane. Then a '68 Fury. She has no rime or reason, it's if she likes it or not. She "claimed" the Ramcharger as hers. I bought it to flip, but she loves it. Why? It's how she does it. Yes, if I need help bleeding brakes, she'll pump the pedal. She'll help "guide" a motor in if no other hands are around.
- years ago, when we were dating, I raced my '72 Demon 340 against my brothers motorcycle. My brother just stopped on a flat road and she said "what's he doing?" I knew, I just pulled in the passing lane and told her to say "go". She did, and we did. She thought she was going to die. She thought I'd lost the brakes, but I was eas'n the drums so they didn't overheat. She doesn't care about being a part of a race. She did make a pass by herself in my brothers junk '77 New Yorker 440, because he was a tenth away from tying my run for the day (91 Dynasty), and thought her being lighter would do the trick. Nope!
