My wife wasn't interested in LBC's at all until she drove my first one. She
loved it so much, that 2 months later, the 68 Sprite (technically hers) became
her birthday present. Now, she is 100% behind any Spridget I bring home. She
has been with me to buy parts, so a parts car is a blessing to us both. Get
your wife behind the wheel, and the second Spridget is a cinch.............
