That lady whined about her husband's car affliction worse than my third trimester pregnant wife did when I drove her to an appointment 40 miles in the Fiat. It was 90+F out and then it broke down once on the way there; then it limped the rest of the way there and required my BIL to come jump us and take us back to there place to charge the battery. At least by the time we were on the way home it was already night and the temps were down in the mid 80s. That made the last breakdown less painful. That woman (wy wife) is a freaking saint; who moans because their husband isn't available to go shopping because he is working on a car? would she rather him sit on a bench in the mall?

My sister's like that (yes Craig, the hot one :roll: ). Her husband couldn't even make any extra money on the side with his lawn mower business because she was jealous of the time he spent away from her. People need to get a life.
