Yeah, she's "having a spare Porsche engine is a normal thing" kind of awesome.

Ditto... my wife just rolls her eyes in amusement when I get all excited about a new part or whatever (particularly if I got a good deal) she enjoys the car, and let’s me be me...

I do computer security and have done IT for a couple of 10s of years. My wife is very encouraging of my car habit though tries to keep me from driving us into bankruptcy buying parts. Keep telling myself it doesn't have to all be done at once

Haha what a joke education is.

I'm an ounce short of a second undergraduate degree in Mech engineering. I have a BMS degree from MSU, and I did an AS in radiography. I had a license to practice and all. Shoot I've got almost 200 undergraduate credit hours; and only a handful of gen eds (so most classes are science and math). My lowest grade in any chemistry course was a 99%; I've taken all from general to organic. All that and my GPA is a 3.9 (that's back when they still scaled it 1-4; apparently you can get a 5.0 now)

I work at firestone complete auto care. I change your oil. Welcome to 2019.

I'm not bitter like most I just don't think people should be buying into a dream. Education had me thinking the only way to succeed was to "buy the product". I know now you can just buy a book... read it... and it cost less than a semester at college.

Me too! My wife is also a driver that appreciates cars. Her DD is an Audi S5 cab. We autocrossed together in the 80s, took the Bondurant 3 day HPDE class together in 2015 and did a half day together at Exotics Racing in 2016 (570s and F430F1). Just consulted with her when I was having trouble deciding on color choices for our 986’s Rennline fire extinguisher and mount.
