Vette(s): 1972 conv., sunfire yellow, blk interior, blk vinyl and convertible top. Off frame restoration with American Speed 383 stroker engine producing 500hp plus a 200hp NOS system. MSD ignition. Hooker super competition headers with chambered exhaust.

TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR THE CAR COLLECTOR


I. Thou shalt not store thy cars out-of-doors, except for thy wife's modern iron. If thy wife complains, put her out-of-doors.

II. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's car, nor his garage, nor his battery charger, nor his project car.

III. Thou shalt not love thy cars more than thy wife and children; as much, but not more. Thy vette is excluded from this commandment. 

IV. Thou shalt not read thy Chevy Trader on company time, lest thy employer make it impossible to continue thy car, thy house and thy alimony payments.

V. Thou shalt not despise thy neighbor's Edsel, nor his DeSoto nor even his Plymouth, and especially his extra parts lying around.

VI. Thou shalt not allow thy daughters nor thy son to get married during the holy days of Carlisle.

VII. Thou shalt not deceive thy wife into thinking that thee is taking her for a romantic Sunday drive when, indeed, thou art going to look at another Vette.

VIII. Thou shalt not tell thy spouse the entire cost of thy latest restoration, at least not all at the same time, or wait until after the divorce.

IX. Thou shalt not promise thy wife a new addition to the house and then use it to store cars; thou shalt not store cars in the attic until the wife has gone back to live with her parents.

X. Thou shalt not buy thy wife a floor jack, jack stands or toolbox for Christmas. Thy new wife won't understand.

I'm lazy ( born in this way ), so i like it very much when somebody tells me 10 times what NOT to do !   My life-wisdom is :

Do not today what your wife can do tomorrow.
