AAhhhh man you guys kill me there are some real joksters on here too I can tell you that much. Plus I have already seen some of the photo shop skills exhibited on here and they are scary. Anyway the wife wants to see the car too and we are going to drive it w/o the fat salesman. I am also dragging my wife about 2 hours away to look at a 2nd car as well on Sat. She is very happily going too despite a very hectic PhD program she is in that almost mandates that she be studding on Sat. And, to think I wont even go shopping with my wife. I have noticed a trend on here and among PCA members in general of huge wife support for our lust full hobby of Pcars. I have been a car guy my whole life and NEVER seen so much wifely support of a man's excessive hobby. Are we just good at picking wives or what b/c mine loves the idea of me getting a Pcar. Anyone else noticed this trend?

Forget the pictures of the car - just post pictures of the wife.

Maybe he should get the wives a PPI before they become the wife that is. Actually, I may be qualified to do one of those PPIs, it will cost a pretty penny thought.

I've PPI'd all my wives. They (a PPI) can give you an idea on general condition, but can not acurately predict what's going on in the inside (or how the PO may have used and abused)...

Yhea if the PO ran her really hard it can really effect oil consumption. Plus I am not the kind of owner who really doesnt gets too into doing a lot of wrenching I would rather sit back and enjoy the ride than wrench on her.

"very hectic PhD program she is in that almost mandates that she be studding on Sat. "

What field is her study in?

(I am going to foregoe a joke on the typo...)

on a related note, "strap on" is "no parts", backwards.

Sounds like Bill's spending a little too much time looking at his tool in the mirror.
