Re: what's your ball and chain think?
Interesting thread idea- My wife would be pretty PO'd at being called the old ball & chain. (We both have our moments.)

The truck? My wife's pretty cool about it. She likes cars, motors, etc. F'r instance, when I replaced the exhaust manifolds and ran it with open headers (for a few minutes), the family came around the corner to stand and grin at all the noise. (We live in center city Philadelphia.) My youngest daughter (5 yrs) likes it because she thinks it's fast. Bless her heart, if she only knew. My wife just doesn't want to be surprised by any bills, so I tell her ahead of time. Lemme tell ya- shortly after I got it, I took my wife to a bridal shower or something like it. It was at a 4-star hotel. Valet parking. I rumbled into the roundabout in this POS lookin' truck. She get's out dressed to the nines, laughin her you-know-what off. Valets coming up like I want them to park this thing. She likes to go fast, too. I bought her a 97 528 & she complained about this whistling noise. I took it out to try to hear what she was talking about. Okay, it starts whistling at 90 mph. (loose piece of window molding.) I told her to slow down, it won't whistle anymore. My wife's cool. I know from past experience and appreciate her every freakin day I'm alive.
