LOL I just got married a couple weeks ago.

Weddings are very expensive, the Avg wedding is like 28k right now, and they ain't lying.

It's all worth it man, congrats. Yes this whole year the car did not get too much love but what you gonna do. My wife supports my interests and she knew right from the getgo what she was getting into

The Wedding day is definately more for the Brides but, It will still be one of, if not the most memorable day's of you're life.

Not always true
When I was getting married in 2003 my second half also knew what she'd be getting into

She liked the Trans Am and liked to mod it also, though.
Although I'm selling it now, it's not because of her.

Yeah our wedding is right around the 18k mark, not too shabby if you ask me.

But if it wasnt for her I wouldnt have half the things done to my car that I have. Like the cam install and some of the misc show pieces, Oh yeah and the racing seats.

It makes it all worth the while considering she has a 99Z with a custom flame paintjob and some bolt ons.

While I think of it Don- Do you still want to tune that thing at the end of the month?? She wants to be able to bark gears in a auto. LOL!!

She said she would never make me sell my car. Because then she will have to get rid of her Z28. Kinda lucky on that note.

Nope its a Z28 with a corsa exhaust and a air intake setup, Bear Eradispeed rotors, Nitto dragradials and corvette wheels.
