The ‘Conversation…’
It happens — sooner or later it happens that those of us who have managed to maintain ownership of our sports/performance vehicles are approached by our better halves with the question: “Hon…don’t you think it’s about time…?” And followed with something about a “practical” car or one that doesn’t cost so much to insure or…

I’m with Mike. Permission, forgiveness, and all that. 😀
Presaged the base jumpers by a good decade or two – knotted bedsheet w/running start down the roof from the 2nd story. It didn’t work…at least I missed the rose bushes, but not the, um, dog leavings – entirely.
