HEllo,
I understand. Most of us on the Roadster list have wifes (and husbands...
;>) )too. Mine was alittle apprehensive too at first. To her it was a rusty
old car that didn't start the first time she saw it. But over the next 6
months it took shape and I gave her her first ride. I know it isn't practical
but most things that are fun arn't either.
I think what hooked my wife into the Roadster web was that I took her to her
first Roadster Meet. There were many nice cars. But even better, there were
twice as many wonderful people. She realized that it wasn't just a Datsun
Roadster thing but a family of owners. And when I say family I truely mean
family.
>From my experience with other car "marque" clubs, I have found that the
current family of Roadster Owners is absolutly the best. Rarely will you find
a stuffed shirt among us. Well, except for those 67.5 2000 Owners. I dont
know about those guys. ;>)
Stick with the car for a bit and see if it grows on the bride. I'm pretty
sure that soon she will except it. BTW... we can be your support group.
