My viper is on its way here, so I don't even have possession of it yet. BUT.... here's what the wifey has planned..... 1. repaint the living room and dining area; 2. a pool in the back yard.

A positive pregnancy test 12 hours after delivery. First Viper...first child. This all unfolded less than 30 days ago. I suppose I am lucky that things progressed as they did, because, had I learned of the pregnancy first I would have backed out of the car due to a sense of responsibility.

It was when the 96 GTS came around, my child support went up. I know that's what did it. I should have let her new husband drive it. This then caused my lawyer to find out about it and more, so I wonder if that had anything to do with my bill. Yes the car did cost more than I thought.

Dang, Jamie, I thought I had it bad! I guess a pool and repaint (only about 30% house) is not as bad as your list. Good job stopping smoking though!!!! She cares for you, man!

I must be one lucky SOB!
I have never had to bribe my wife of 20+ years.
Th only complaint she has ever had was when I sold the 96 GTS. She loved that car.
To this day she will occasionaly ask if I could find another one.

I just mentioned to my wife I was thinking about buying a
two-seat sports car. Two months later she came home from work and asked me why I parked my '99 Toyota 2-wheel drive
truck in the garage. I told her, "I didn't, I traded it in
on a sports car.". She said "No, your kidding right?". I said, go and look. She came back. "A Viper! You bought a Viper? I thought you were talking about a Toyota Celica!"
Honest to God, that's how it played.
She is very understanding (like the time (last year) when I came home after meeting some friends from South Africa for lunch and mentioned that I had booked an elephant hunt in Zimbabwe. Came back with 110 lbs of ivory!).
Still, I need to buy her a new car (thinking Toyota Supra).

Hirohava,
No I am not joking about the ivory. Before you get excited you may want to consider these facts:
1) There are more elephants in Africa than there are elk in North America.
2) Zimbabwe has ~80,000 resident elephants with another 15,000 transitory jumbos that travel between Botswana and Zimbabwe. Of these 15,000 animals the government allocates 1% for sport hunting. This brings in over $8 million US a year, much of which goes directly to the various tribes whose communal lands have the hunting concessions and to conservation programs to help maintain and enhance the elephant, lion, cheeta, and black rhino populations.
3) African countries where sport hunting has been totally banned have seen the worst decline in elephant populations due to poaching by the various tribes and lack of funding for game management and enforcement.
In any event, more elephants have to be killed due to human/elephant conflicts than due to the 150 or so that are taken by sport hunters.
Sorry for the soapbox, but it is frustrating to encounter so many people who have been mislead by animal rights groups without considering the data.

Hum....
Well I guess I really have it GOOD! My wife starts seeing magazines on the new Viper at the house all over the place, so she says to me is there something you want to tell me? Are we getting a New Viper? I said yes. She said will I like it? I said yes. She said okay and that was it. I did buy her a Prowler in 1999 for her birthday but that was 5 years ago. So I guess I pre-paid! Of all the cars out now that we could own I have to say we both love the 2004 SRT-10 it is the most complete car I have ever owned. On another thread I read that people aren't as passionate about the new vipers, well I do just stare at it sometimes (ok more than I want to admit) in the garage and think Damn this car is beautiful and I can not wait for summer again!

A doctor examined a woman, took the husband aside, and said, "I don't like the looks of your wife at all."
"Me neither doc," said the husband. "But she's a great cook and really good with the kids.
