My wife "puts up" with my car thing and at times its a lot. She never said boo when I bought my 911 even though I totally did not need it, she has also never complained once (well maybe once or twice) when I disappear for a weekend to play car with friends or do a track DE or AX out of town.

I have begged her many times to do some Autocrosses with me and I think she might finally do one when my son (15) does his first. We may even get the little one a Kart so we can all participate.

When I sold my 911 she took me out to dinner the night it was loaded on the carrier to go to its new owner. She knew I was smarting and wanted to make it a better evening. Selling the car was totally my idea BTW we both knew it was a sound decision considering the economy right now.

Jake, thats an awesome story and it sounds like you handled it like a gentleman. She obviously is a good friend of your family and I am sure she was happy to share her past with you. Thanks fro sharing.
