Pressure to get car done

My second wife completely had me convinced there was no way I was ever going to get married again, after I divorced her she completely took it out of me that was a fact..
10 years ago I had a girlfriend who I talked to about the 72 duster I used to have and I reminisced about liking it.. I told her the only thing I didn't have was the four speed... She said how much would one cost these days? I said 1500 to 2 Grand (at the time) probably get me something I could start with... A couple days later she came home from work and handed me an envelope so go get your car... I opened the envelope and it had $2,500 in it!...
I found one a few weeks later a couple hours away and we drove to go look at it. I paid $1,750 for it not running and we rented a one-way U-Haul trailer and small truck and she followed me home..
When we got home she said you're going to put a four on the floor correct?..
I found a guy selling a four speed about two and a half hours away up in Washington, but I had to work so she took the $800 and drove up to Washington and the guy put the four speed in the back of her car and she drove back home and brought it to me....
We'll be celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary at the end of August...
No I don't have to explain my hobby...
