Sooooo, with that said, theres now more room in the driveway for my stuff, and there's no limit to how much time, money and effort I put into finishing my car.

I felt compelled to check in on this one, since it is stories about the "better half"...

My husband's father was a Datsun fanatic. He loved everything Datsun, and according to hubby could fix just about anything.

Well, my dear spouse inherited his father's passion for Datsuns, but not the part about working on them. My first love is Datsun Roadsters, but hubby can't comfortably navigate under the hood. I'll give him slack on that, because he is tall and Roadsters are short and very compact under the hood.

So, trying to get hubby to feel involved and making the weekends spent under the hood more a "couple" thing than a solo act, we bought a non-running '73 240Z. Perfect height, lots of room under the hood. Heck, I could practically crawl in the engine bay to work on the thing! Didn't work... he just isn't interested in wrenching. I was good and didn't touch his car though, so we recently bought a 260Z for me to play with, then recently a '71 240Z.

Hubby is very supportive of my hobby though. He'll keep me company while I'm working on cars, and help when I encounter nuts & bolts that I can't get loose. He bought me an air compressor and all the toys as well as tons of tools and equipment. He's gamely trudged along with me through junkyards, though I lure him there with promises of getting goodies for his '73.

Now that I'm getting the 260Z running, I let him take it for its maiden voyage on the freeway, and he had a blast. Now he's excited about getting the '73 up and running, so there might be some hope for him yet.
