Pressure to get car done

No kidding. Quick story. About 20 years ago, I agreed to help a lifelong friend restore a 65 Impala SS 396. He had one when he was younger (before he went to Vietnam). He wanted another one for YEARS. He found a rather rusty project car and I agreed to help. Bob was a good mechanic, but he knew nothing about body work. I sat him and his wife, Nancy, down before we started and told them it would be at least a 2-3 year project and would probably cost at least $20 thousand. They agreed and work commenced. We did floor pans, quarters trunk floor, trunk drop downs, and a BUNCH of other rust patches. After about 1.5 years, his wife started bitching about how long it was taking and griping to me about how much longer. This is where I tell you that Bob was my dear friend who I loved like a brother, but his wife is not a nice person (I am being nice), and I barely tolerate her. I told Bob to tell his wife to shut up about it. She did for a while, but then she started up again. After 2 years, it was done. Her bitchy attitude tarnished our friendship. We used to go out to eat together and play cards all the time, but after that, I just did not want to be around her. Bob and I remained very close until his death about 2 years ago.
I've suggested that wifey change her name to "Karen", at least where my classic cars are concerned. She was nice when young, but then started watching "The View" and other women-fussing daytime shows and became empowered. The one thing I asked when first married was that she never watch the Phil Donahue Show, since watching that made my mom unhappy, crying and complaining that nobody appreciated her and if she was paid for labor as a homemaker ... But, shows today have become even more divisive. Wifey watches only MSNBC like Rachel Carson, then faults me for Trump (how my fault?), though she could have just as easily have gone with Fox and faulted me for Biden. Few people seem able to think for themselves. She hated me criticizing Elon Musk, until I pointed out he wasn't a liberal and even made a MAGA-pivot while dissing California which gave him billions in tax credits (better to market his silly CyberTruck?). Anyway, my cars stay as long as I'm breathing, and look at that, the fish are biting (song "I'm gonna miss her").
