      This is classic. Brian had me laughing my ass off and at the same time feeling for him while I read it.

        My wife has come to the rescue.....

        This is it.....

        Get your wife a day at the spa.....Have her go on the day of the Javelin arrival.

        That way when she gets home, she is all relaxed and will be much less likely to go nuclear. At least for a day.

          Good idea....however,

          I need to explain the fact that I am zipping off for a couple days. To get this thing.

          A week at the spa? HA!

              Cant explain being gone for a few days?Relative sick,long lost relative or classmate back in town maybe.Maybe an emergency with your job out of town etc.You got a lead on the balls you lost years ago ;DHere is a thought be honest.Ive done some stupid crap(losing my wedding ring on DragWeek comes to mind)She beleived me but she also knew who to ask if I was telling the truth.Just tell he DF had a neat car for free and a bunch of guys are going to deliver it to you free of charge and the money you would have spent getting it home goes towards he Valentines Day gift.
              Neat to see someone else go throught this crap ;D ;D ;) Good luck

                All I can say is good luck. I'm glad that the only limits I have are my bank account and time. The nice part of single life is nobody to stop me from getting the things I can afford.

                  Baby! This thing has a lot of race history and I'm pretty sure its going to be worth BIG MONEY! Some day!!
                  And even more so once I get it restored to the "ice racer" it once was!
                  And play your cards right I'll let you ride with me(wink wink).

                    The spa day is a huge plus - if you could time it to be the day you haul this wreck into the backyard - all the better.

                    It's free is a good thing - cause she can't get mad about the money end of it (well except the moving expenses)

                    I would think a project with the boys is a good angle - cause we all know it will take years to get it operable again.

                    Sheesh - you may need to keep this list in front of you as good ammo after you break the news to her!
                    There's always something new to learn.

                      The fact that getting into my backyard is impossible due to he 6 foot high snow bank I built with my tractor is a slight issue as well. ;)

                          I love # 2. Nuclear, i laughed out loud in the office. Been there on a couple diffrent levels.
                          But the shoes drives it home. I think we can all relate to that one.

                          Still though I don't know that i would want to use it either. ;D

                            I was going to say it's better to beg forgiveness than ask permission, but I guess you'll be missed for a couple days, so bringing home a 'surprise' is out of the question. And lying will get you jacked up big time.

                            Unless you tell her it's an heir loom from a friend who died and his last wish was to build it into an ice racer.

                            Naw, that one sucks. There's no good way to break the news. I think you're boned.

                              I'd go with # 2 and kick in the fact that you'll have less money in it that all those shoe.And to not be so selfish(lol ) Tell me how that goes over.

                                I used excuse number 5; it seems to have saved my butt a couple times, but only with what ch11 added: it's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission. My sons are 6 weeks and 20 months, so nearly the same situation, but you can always argue for doing it "for the family". That's similar to keeping you from becoming a gang banger, and besides the wifey can keep close tabs on you from the kitchen window. Use that excuse freely!! Good luck, bro!! ;D
