Daryl:
These guys are waaaaay nuts. . . and you were waaaaay right! My wife asked to back the P-car out of the garage and bounced over the curb and up onto the lawn. She got out of the car and explained that the last stick-shift she had, had the clutch in the middle!!! (She had been pressing the clutch frantically thinking it was the brake).
Anyway, I love my wife dearly, and what's important is that she knows and respects what that car means to me (after that incident, she is quite happy to be a passenger).
There is no way that your wife didn't know that you would be a nervous wreck until your baby returned, ding free. It is NOT just a car (like a Taurus) that can be patched up by an insurance company. . .it is your pride and joy. If you're like me, you park far away from other cars, fall asleep thinking about your next mod, spend hours painstakingly detailing and polishing, etc.
No one knows your car's ideosyncracies like you do. Be proud of yourself.
You did right man! You did us proud!
