Leave it or Hot Rod it?
Get her involved and make it her car.
As good an idea as this is, sometimes I think it would be easier to just send her out to search for something she feels is acceptable, then buy it.
My wife likes '59 Ramblers. Not so much now that she knows what they can get for one.
If the price would have dropped just a little she would own the '62 Imperial she spotted one night at Hot August Nights.
She really likes GTO's (which is no problem for me), so when I started to clone a '67 Tempest I had and she figured out the cost she kind of gave up. Too bad. I had everything I need for a nice tri-power automatic.
So I did just what I said. Sent her out. What does she want??? She wants me to buy back my old '73 4-speed 'Cuda. We'll see.
Now she thinks her boat is too slow, and wants me to tweak it.
I'm not convinced a wife can ever be completely happy.
