Most supportive wife ever? Dad builds kit car

He has a 2 year old, and his wife is preggo. And he builds this.

He's got the most supportive wife I've ever seen ever evar. Most wives I know are not this supportive; not even close, in fact the exact opposite. Lucky him.

Aint that the truth. My wife is very supportive of my car upgrade/modding addiction and even my pc upgrading addiction and i support her educational dreams and aspirations. Works out quite well.

But he just turned it on, waited 5 seconds and then checked his oil...


(For the newbs, you should check your oil levels when your car is OFF, otherwise you're not going to have much oil in your pan and will probably freak out)











PS: Yes, it was a newbie moment for me when I first got my back in early 2000... lol.

Marry the right one. The one who always comes first because that's what you are to her. And stay away from shallow, self centered, spoiled ******.
