[Spridgets] Off Topic Dilemna..

[Jim Seippel]

It is time to tell the son to "Grow a pair."  He needs to work it out with
his wife. If you want to help him fix up the car, that is good bonding.
Lend him the money if you want to. However, he needs to be open with his
wife. She shouldn't be setting rules and he shouldn't be hiding things from
her (unless it is a cute 18yo honey   :-) ).  

If she is dumb enough to believe that you just happen to want the same car
her son does, denial in not just a river in Egypt.

Dear Aunty List,

As you can see from my signature, I already have four cars and am looking at
an MGB-GT.
But that's not the point!
My two older boys copy their old dad (Me - no comments please!) when it
comes to cars!

One of them in particular, has a Honda Odyssey (wifeys), a 350Z twin-turbo
with T-tops (His) and a much modified Ford Probe (originally for his 3 girls
but now probably destined for Autocross)

So yesterday, he found another of his "wants" --- a 1987 280Z, good body,
runs but needs the interior redone,for $500, that he wants to restore "at
some time in the future"

Here's my dilemna..
His wifey has said he can't buy it! No Way! quote "too many cars" unquote.
So he called me and asked if I would 'loan' him the money so he can say that
I bought it!

Should I say Yes or No!
She's not a bad daughter-in-law and I don't want her mad at me!!

PS if it was a LBC I'd automatically say 'yes'
