And just when I thought the Wife would start calming down....From a Turbo, to suspension, to brakes....they are doin it all. God, I'm a DEAD man! 54 years old and she's gonna kill me. What IS it about this Vibe that is doin this to me!!!! Mike

quote:God, I'm a DEAD man! 54 years old and she's gonna kill me. Mike: You aren't the first to want a fast car to get away Check out these Who Lyrics. "My Wife"My life's in jeopardyMurdered in cold blood is what I'm gonna beI ain't been home since Friday nightAnd now my wife is coming after meGive me police protectionGonna buy a gun soI can look after number oneGive me a bodyguardA back belt Judo expert with a machine gunGonna buy a tank and an aeroplaneWhen she catches up with meWon't be no time to explainShe thinks I've been with another womanAnd that's enough to send her half insaneGonna buy a fast carPut on my lead bootsAnd take a long, long driveI may end up spending all my moneyBut I'll still be aliveAll I did was have a bit too much to drinkAnd I picked the wrong precinctGot picked up by the lawAnd now I ain't got time to thinkGonna buy a tank and an aeroplaneWhen she catches up with meWon't be no time to explainShe thinks I've been with another womanAnd that's enough to send her half insaneGonna buy a fast carPut on my lead bootsAnd take a long, long driveI may end up spending all my moneyBut I'll still be aliveAnd I'm oh so tired of runningGonna lay down on the floorI gotta rest some time soI can get to run some moreShe's comin'!She's comin'! Hope it doesn't get this bad.

Yeah, and I know a few other lyrics too! I had the deal made on the "faster car". Was bringing home the Honda Si as a starting platform. Trish HATED it. Said it looked just like a Geo Metro...... But she thought the Matrix and Vibe were, "CUTE". Oh, the humanity....Mike

is that issue out yet.I was told what ever car makes the front cover on that mag. The aftermarket companies try to advertise mods for them.

Has a Yellow Civic Si on the cover. The car I was signing the final papers on to build a street racer out of when the wifey sez....it's UGLY, looks just like a Geo Metro....sure ya want it that bad? Well, now I got some work cut out for me to try and build a Vibe Base with auto tranny.... but hey, she thinks it's "cute". Come to think of it, this car has stole heart! I never fell so hard for ANY 4 wheel vehicle in my life and have spent over $240K on vehicles in the last 21 years of marriage (Trish added it all up for me...). Mike

Oh man I feel your pain!I was a Honda/Acura guy for 15 years (CRX, Integra & Civic EXV). Bulletproof cars, treated like a king by the local Acura dealer. Wanted a RSX so bad. Mrs. wouldn't let me get a 2 door. Now she agreed that I can have a midlife crisis when I get the Vibe paid off, and the house, and build a garage, and expand the living room, and ...... RSX's will probably run on Hydrogen by then However if I can slip a factory supercharger under the hood on my line of credit..... Maybe I can postpone my midlife crisis car indefinitely.

Same here. My wife sceamed at me when she saw me drooling over the new Supercharger for the Vibe. "You'll never waste our money like that.", she says. She's just jealous of the Vibe. When she really gets on it, or tailgates I yell at her that shes gonna kill the car. Wonder if I can trade my WIFE in. How much would I get on a low mileage wife?

If I hadn't had a bunch of divorces when I worked for the Police Dept, I'd trade the WIFE! But after 21 years, she tamed me some, along with being 54 years old... Sad, an old man with a station wagon. That Supercharger may speed thing up a litle though. Mike
