My lady friend is very much opposed to motorcycles. So when I see one for sale by the road, I always stop, look it over carefully, note the address and phone of the owner, etc. When I get back in the
I wouldn't say my marriage was "on the rocks" and that having cool cars saved it, but the car is a positive in my personal relationship. If you are like me, I don't really go out of my way to go any

There is a car that I have wanted to buy for a long time. I found one at a VERY reasonable price. It's a few states away. So far my efforts to convince my wife that I need this car are failing. Pleas
