[Healeys] Wives and cars

[Bob Spidell]

I can't add my own story--I was only married briefly--but my father has collected: 

- Cars (currently): 1955 Thunderbird, 1965 Mustang and our 100M 
- Trucks (currently): 1946 Chevy 2-ton flatbed, 1996 Ranger 
- Fire engine(currently): 1919 Seagrave Pumper (and a couple donor engines) 
- Airplane: 1946 Piper L4 (military version of Piper Cub--sold to gentleman who restored to WWII-era condition) 
- Antique windmills 
- Antique gas pumps 
- Antique player pianos (currently 3) 
- Cars(previous): 1934 Ford coupe, 1940 Ford pickup, 1940 Ford sedan, 196X Thunderbird, 1929 and 1931 Model As 

Mom never complains, she figures he's worked hard and deserves his projects. Plus, Dad's had a heart attack, a quintuple bypass and two rounds of cancer--the second with radiation treatment so brutal some would have thrown in the towel--and it's his projects that keep him going. The only time she got irritated was when he took too long to restore the '55 T-Bird--that's "her" car. 

Maybe that's why they've been married almost 57 years.

Leno seems to either have either the right formula or the right wife - maybe 
even both..... 

Interesting thread ......
