Divorce present
Long story, Wife had a boyfriend about 30 years ago. She started to mention marriage after being with him for 3 years. He disappeared with out a trace. I met her couple years later. Married after a year. 2 kids, 1 horse, 3 dogs & 1 cat, 26 years later her mom falls and breaks her arm. Wife goes to Minnesota in March from Washington state to care for her. I have a trip planed to take the horse trailer to Minnesota in April to pick up some stuff her mom gave her and put her regular tires on her car. (studded tires are illegal in Mn). The night before I leave she Skypes me to tell me she is leaving me for her old boyfriend and don't bother coming. After 5 days of trying everything I can think of to make her come to her senses, I drive out there to make her tell me to my face. Go to bed Wednesday night at 9pm, can't sleep, pack truck, leave at 11pm. Get to Mn Friday morning. 1630 miles and 1 tank of diesel. I have a transferflow tank in the bed which gives me 135 gallons. I stay the night at her moms house, they have a cabin next to the house. After talking to her Friday & Saturday morning, I put her regular tires on and reset her pressure sensors. She leaves to spend the weekend with her boyfriend. I spend the day with an ex brother in law. Leave Sunday morning for home. So much crap in my head I don't sleep much. Drive to Butte Mt. sleep about 3 hours then drive home. Back home Monday night. Made good time. Anyway it's almost a year later and getting close to finalizing the divorce.
If I have any money left I was thinking of getting a divorce present for me. I have put off my love for cars to feed my family, support my cheater wife and put 2 kids through college. It's me time. here is my list of cars I was thinking about.
At the top
Ford gt350
Chevrolet corvette grand sport, because all the dealers are adding 5 to 10K to the price of the gt350. Pisses me off.
More practical toys.
911 Carrera 4
or
Ford focus RS
Because I want this car to be a daily driver the awd will give me a longer driving season.
I plan on having just the truck and a car. Was thinking if I got the RS since it is the cheapest and still fun, I could build a factory 5 kit car. Shelby or the GTR.
Don't know. I like thinking about the possibilities.
What would you do or recommend?
