    I think this latest purchase of mine (my early) may have hit a wrong note with my wife.She really hasn't commented much about it til yesterday.As I was putting a tarp on it for the winter I mentioned how being that the van is so square I felt like I was wrapping a christmas present, as she turned to walk away she said "It is, merry f#*king Christmas". I wonder what will happen when I find that donor van. affraid

    I know what you mean. When I brought #6 home two weeks ago the wife wasn't real happy but she didn't say much. Neither one of us has had to go back to work yet!!!!!!! But I think I've reached the limit. Shocked

    My wife has never been a fan of my old vans. She also wasn't happy when the 64 showed up. Mad

    Understand. Mine was not to happy either. Hmmmm, must be a "guy van" thing and not just a "van" thing......... They just don't get that men need their personal projects. Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, remember? Or is it the other way around? I don't know but you know what I mean................. scratch

    Considering all the possible women out there, I think my wife is happy to know I spend my spare time with my fleet of Earlies and all of you guys and Gal...

    This last early was for her and she is warming up to that.

    Later,

    When i brought #5 home the ol lady started to worry that she was going to have to park around the corner when she came home....I reminded her that there were some apartments down the street that had a vacancy, she hasn't said much since.

    My wife actually thinks my vans are "cool" to some extent. She loved the 69 A108 Family Wagon I had. We camped in it and she liked that we would could stand up in it.

    She has been quite patient.

    mine understands that its my outlet, of corse i told her from day 1 that im not getting rid of ANY toys, and also warned her i could be doing worse like spending the weekends at the bar or a strip club. she likes my wrecker, thinks my earlys are unsafe, and completely horrified of my car. but she has 4 jeeps and i get the joy of working on them, the only jeep i would really really want her to get is a forward control ( the cab over pickup) , she tells me she doesnt need a "death trap"

    Mine is.....i meen was.... cool with building bikes in the house. She built her 49 in the dinningroom over a few years. But she just couldnt get on the van wagon. Must of had a bad experience in one she dosnt want to talk about. Oh wait, i dont have to listen to her #@%* anymore. Merry Christmass to me. And I dont have to give her the windshield i traded parts for either. Best xmass ever.
