Sorry to hear so many Barners have or had unpleasant marriages to the extent they would let the wife go before the car.

As a veteran of multiple marriages, I gotta say that I love our Model A but if I had to pick one, the wife wins......

True, but it all depends on what you want out of life.

I'll agree with you 100%. Friends and material possessions may come and go but family and loved ones are always more important. If someone told me I had to give away my truck to help save my father-in-law dying from cancer I wouldn't have to 2nd guessed it.

I'm having a good ol chuckle at many responses. Some pretty good advise coming through. I have a question. Were you happily married prior to this purchase and are you happily married following this purchase? There in lies your answer.

I think it got better. At first she kept asking me why I bought the truck and not a tudor. But after a few car shows, parades and rides to the park to walk the dog, she loves all the waves and smiles. And spending more time together that we both enjoy.
