As much as my wife gripes about my hobby, she's always one of the first to grab the keys and take off if with one of our older cars...in fact, she drove our Cortez Silver L78 Nova 4-speed ever day there for a while, and gave me crap when I sold it to a buddy of ours! She'd pass up the loaded Suburban with 496ci and jump in the Nova with a little 396 almost every time!
