Chris - I read your pre-paint thread, and your car looks absolutely great.
Good story about your wife, and the picture brings it all home.
Last week I took my wife to a really nice formal dinner - $75 per plate at the Kentucky Athletic Hall of Fame induction banquet - and had just picked my car up from the paint shop earlier that day. She gets dressed to the 9's, and we go. I park the car and as we're walking away I keep looking back and almost walk into another parked car. She says, "Oh my God. I get all dressed up, spend a bunch of time getting my hair and everything just right, and you don't say a thing to me, but you can't keep your eyes off that damn car." Best thing to do in a situation like this is try to turn it into a joke, so that's what I did. It was a bit of a gamble, but she's was laughing about it before th night was over, and she never flipped me off.
Edit: I think I would have that picture framed and hang it with my other family pictures above my desk at work. Good conversation piece.
