that's gonna depend on how high maintenance your wife is.

I will just say she doesn't have the same love of open cars that I do.

i know what you mean ive done plenty offroad truck/jeep/atv trips to my buddys cabin with many different girlfriends.. i went from one girlfriend bringing almost nothing and sleeping in the vehicle we drove there with .. to one girlfriend i had to bring a bunch of clothes a big box of make up,tent with air mattres and to top it off she would not go to the bathroom in the woods..so anytime we were deep in the woods on atvs/jeeps/trucks if she had to use the bathroom we had to drive to my friends cabin.. glad shes gone...

That's just ridiculous! Couldn't use a tree? Around these parts, we'd have let her pee herself.

sometimes it was just her and myself in the woods on a atv..miles away from everyone and she still Couldn't use a tree....

I completely understand why a lot of girls don't like roughing it, but come on, when nature calls and you're in the middle of nowhere ... Hopefully you didn't let her drink anything while you were on your outings!

She would have learned real quick the joys of going outside.

well, then you probably won't like this one...............

here's the lastest car that's just about to roll out of our shop. just waiting for the intermediate e-brake cable to show up. then, it'll head to the alignment shop to get the front end done. after that, a couple road tests to make sure everything is good, and it'll be ready for the '09 hot rod power tour.

i wish i was going. that's actually a customer car. he goes every year with something different. we built this 55 olds for him in '05-'06, and he took it on the '06 power tour. he put 7,000 miles on it the first year it was done.

it's a 350 olds. it has a bunch of work done to it from what the owner said. i don't know exactly what...... since it was built by someone else, and just brought to us to paint and install it. if there's time, since the power tour starts on june 6th, my dad was thinking of taking it over to local guy that has a dyno to see what kind of power it makes.

it's a 350 olds

very nice..my dad got me into olds a little..he would buy wrecked vettes when he was younger...he would fix, drive, race and then sell them..then start over.it was kinda his own little business he had at his dads body shop.but when he went to buy a new car he bought an olds 442

Was that the blue car I saw Scr8p?
