I have finally gotten my car sorted enough to where I feel comfortable sending my wife out for a drive on her own. Everything works, it starts and drives well, suitable for her to drive.
Tonight was her first drive of the car. I sent her out to grab a six pack of something good while I put the kids to bed. After explaining the ebrake she was off and I headed inside. About an hour and a bit later, kids sound asleep, she returns.
Turns out she called a friend for a joy ride. Weather is perfect, top off, windows down they go cruising the town. On the way out of the grocery, after grabbing a six pack each, they find two college boys gawking at the car, taking pictures. They walk up, guys look at them, and ask "is this your car?" in an incredulous voice. Wife says yep, sure is. Guy in striped hipster tank top say "that's awesome!" Then he proceeds to ask all the details, which my wife knows because I am sure I have tmi'd her on them on more than one occasion. They then proceed to hit my wife up for photos while the boys were sitting in the car. Ladies head off in the lotus, guys night was made for sure.
Both women are mid thirties hotties, not in a masked by makeup kind of way, so I am sure they just rocked those guy's world as far as what sexy really is.
If I saw two hot 30 something women walk out of a store, each with a good six pack of beer in hand, and hop into a classic lotus esprit when I was in college, it would have rocked my world. Actually, even now it would blow my mind.
Needless to say, my wife has a new found appreciation for the car I have been toiling over late nights and weekends. I couldn't have planned that out better if I had tried. I am sure her next joy ride will be sooner than later.
