That sure is a pretty paint job for $500.00.
That sure is a loud sounding engine for $800.00
That sure is a fast car for $2,500.00 investment....

Every time my wife goes with me to a race which is not very often I get the following questions
1. Can we stop at the outlet mall they have a coach store.
2. If its a big city its Can we goto Magianos for dinner

My response is usually Yes we can stop if Coach has started selling racecar parts and we can have dinner if you can get valet parking for this truck and trailer.

Last year at the div 3 bracket finals my wifes niece was mad about not being able to go shopping because with rain we ran late friday night due to rain. Being the brat she is she said "I hope you blow up" to make a long story short the trans let go first round. On the way home it was the most peace and quiet I have ever had in my truck and not one request to stop and goto the bathroom.

So you think we can afford it?
When do I get a vacation that doesn't involve a race track?

Those are the most common lines...there are others but those aren't very p.c. LOL.

Re: What The Other Half Says About Us
 

After a 20+ year hiatus. My wife wasn't around during my racing days. Her usual response is, "we can't afford this". More recently she hit me with " I thought you weren't going to do this anymore". She was a guiding force in encouraging me to drag my old Chevy II out of the corner and begin it's resurrection.

What's really funny, she works at a body shop. She keeps pictures at her desk and gives all the guys out in the shop progess updates on the Nova bracket car as we're working on it. She still hasn't warmed up to the crate motor Firebird yet.

This one is for both racing and sporting events that go to overtime: "When are we going to be done?" LOL

Re: What The Other Half Says About Us
 

Being a female racer. My story goes as such. My girlfriend told me she spent $150 on a pair of jeans. I thought she was out of her mind. So with the new requirement of SFI pants in stock I had to tell her that I spent $150 on a pair of pants and "they won't catch on fire". She told me I guess you can't call them your hot pants. LOL No complaints from me.
