So you can see where this is going, right?
I came home from my run excited to talk to my bride about this scheme to get us to Italy in 2021 for our big 30th anniversary celebration.. I explained that surely there's a demand for a small, oddball, overpowered classic car.. that if I build it, they will come!.. that along the way, it will seem like a pile of junk, but eventually, someone, somewhere will pay real money to own this thing, this freakshow toy car, this thing that most people will laugh at; but in the end, there will in fact be an enthusiastic few who will think it's the coolest thing ever... Don't you see it Lisa? THAT is the person that will buy this car that I have yet to build! I'm thinking I'll find a 1950's British car that no one's ever heard of, put an off-the-beaten-path Japanese bike motor in it, and build my own frame.. because I love you.. ....THIS is our ticket to Italy!
This is where most wives would see fit to set their husbands straight, and proceed to grind this endorphin-fueled adrenaline dream to a halt.. "It will cost too much.. No one will buy it.. We'll lose money.. You're over your head.. Nobody likes the weird things you like.. It's too dangerous.. Why can't you just watch football like normal men?.. My next husband will have money.." You know, they'd say things like that: but not my wife
Without missing a beat, she lied to my face and told me it's a brilliant plan.. She's no dummy.. She knows there are a hundred reasons this won't work, but the cool thing is, she loves me, and she believes in me.. In her mind, in that moment in time, she tamped down the voice of reason that was screaming at her from inside her head... she simply gave me a kiss, and said "If anyone can do this, it's you."
I told you she's pretty great
