>>Hey, guys---
>>
>>I have some friends in the BMW car club, and they were able to find a
>>better solution: buy your wife a race car. You can get some pretty good
>>results from this shrewd relationship move:
>>
>>
>>BEFORE: "Buying tires that cost twice as much and last half as long is
>>absolutely ridiculous and we can't afford it."
>>
>>AFTER: "Honey, my M3 was pushing badly in the corkscrew last weekend... I
>>could really use a new set of Kuhmos for Christmas."
>>
>>
>>BEFORE: "I'm not going anywhere with 'Willow' in the name."
>>
>>AFTER: "Give me a hand with this Easy-Up, will you, dear?"
>>
>>
>>BEFORE: "You spend too much time in that damned garage."
>>
>>AFTER: "Are you going to have my Brembo kit installed by Friday, or am I
>>going to have to do it myself?"
>>
>>
>>BEFORE: "Why do we need so many cars?"
>>
>>AFTER: "Burn up your own tires; I'm saving mine for Thunder Hill in June."
