Wives/Girlfriends = Car Women
And it's those little tasks that mean so much.... The willingness to participate. I'm glad to hear you have an understanding Wife too. My Wife grew up surrounded with British sports cars as a child. That was her Father's kink. Along with motorcycles. She's not a hard core "Car-Gal", but understands, and tolerates, more than most average women would. I'm lucky.
And yes, she goes to shows, both with and without the Barracuda.
