My wife is freaking awesome!

The wife let me trade the minivan for a screaming red pseudo-hotrod. How cool is that? Love you Janel!

For those new to the story - when baby-girl the younger, joined the family we traded the audi S4 for a Honda Odyssey and I've been fairly morose ever since. Not that I had to drive a minivan; I wasn't concerned about that, but I was surrounded in hard plastic and the thing wouldn't get out of it's own way without judicious use of the throttle and that resulted in horrendous mileage around town. We don't really need that much space, and having a fun-to-drive factor is imortant to me.

There are in fact four doors on that thing, and if you look closely next to the Honda emblem, you can just make out the "Si". Yeah! So much fun to drive, sweet gearbox, fun noises. I'm so stinkin' delighted. If you look even more closely, it seems Janel is almost as pleased as I am. Know what? She's happy cuz I'm happy. I married well.

My father-in-law razzed me about getting such a 'tiny' car, but when he saw it he decided it was bigger than he expected and it was 'nice'. Honestly, it makes me feel much better about the deal having him not disapprove.
