Wife dynamics etc.,

[David]

I'll add my $.02 to this. My wife thought I was crazy when I gave up my nicely modded 98 Passt GLS 1.8T in 2001 to drive my 87 CGT 2.3 full time. I had always wanted a Special Build and a pretty sad but pretty low mileage one that needed a good home showed up in the paper. Even though he was asking way to much for it based on how much work it needed, I took pity on it and made it mine. In reality I should have paid about 1/2 what I did, but I'm a sucker for CGTs that need a loving home. She still thinks I'm nuts. And I'll admit, sometimes so do I, but when everythings working right and she is freshly detailed, the ear-to-ear grin that the CGT brings to my face every time I even see her is greater than the grin the Passat brought the day I drove it off the lot in November 1997. When things go wrong she has a habit of calling the CGT a piece of junk, but when it works right, she loves it almsot as much as I do. Now if I could just convice her that we need to adopt a needy Urq...
