Marriage and Mopars

 I have been here in the community for about a week now. I think it is awesome how so many people come together for a common love of their Mopars. The amount of information in this community is unbelievable. So many people with so much experience and willing to help out and trouble shoot others problems which is a great helping hand. I am 38 and I am getting married for the 2nd time this Saturday May 22nd. My soon to be wife is awesome. She lets me be me and doesn't complain too often. As I stated in another thread I have 2 70 chargers. I am far from being done with the 500 and I went about 10 days ago and picked up another one, the RT. She was not mad at me for doing it she just could not understand why I felt I could not pass on this deal to get the RT. Has any others encountered this situation.  I explained to her that these cars will be restored over years and not months. Any thoughts or feed back will be appreciated.

I don't think any of us really understand you

<and I'm not real sure we want to   :nana:

You've admitted to your wife (and yourself) that these are years-long projects.  That's a serious step in the right direction already. 

You should do fine if you're just committed to seeing it through and life doesn't intervene in some other way.

The only thing my EX wife understood about me was my 70 Charger. Your wife ACCEPTS your "hobby" and that is priceless! Take her out to dinner and a show!  :cheers:

No, she doesnt read my posts.  And i'm still happily married, to my first spouse.    :2thumbs:  I've seen a lot of people though try and try again and fail everytime.  Some people are better off being single and living together.   :Twocents:

Sometimes it takes a second try to be happy, I know its working for me.  First time for me, too young, just out of high school, dated all through high school, you know the deal.  

Was at a party long time ago talking to a chick that was about to get married, I dont think she was real into getting married when she told me "I dont know why I have to get married, be better if we just lived together and f**ked!"  Often wonder if shes still married to that guy?

Now back to the cars...Very nice by the way!   :2thumbs:

   If you are talking about the yellow RT that was listed a few weeks ago Yes this is it. I believe the guy I bought it from is on this forum. I went to Louisiana to pick it up. 11 hours there 1 hour to load it and 11 hours straight back to South Florida. It was along trip to drive straight thru, My buddy and I took turns driving. There is some work that still needs to be done. Time and money but I am going to make sure this one is done right from the start. I made some mistakes with my 500. One of my buddies that is going to help me with my car is Dave Kitterman. He has a very nice 72 dart that was featured in Mopar Muscle in the Oct 2009 issue.
