Here, Here!
Horses, wives and cars! My wife has two horses...I, of course ride one
occaisionally. You're absolutely right. One died in '97 spring and we had
to replace it...geez, $6,000 including medical bills for the deceased. It
kinda wiped me out of the chance to get a vintage car this year. '98 should
be better though and the wife understands my need for speed (vintage that
is). So, ya, they can coexist with our cars.
