Almost all the rest of my friends like to give me grief about it as their other halves are not so easy. In fact, one of my close friends had me buy his Explorer II and told his wife I found him a used one for $2k so she wouldn't know what he paid. Now I can black mail him at will. Heheheh. I like your collection as well.

Nice post and thanks for sharing. One of the successes to our marriage is that we give the other the opportunity to be involved in each others lives. For instant, I always include the whole family when I am in the collecting mood. My wife and kids know more about guns, coins, airplanes, guitars, woodworking, fine dining at Hooters and Corvettes than they ever thought they would. On the other hand, I know more about tennis, barbie dolls, cooking, painting, cotton candy making, sports, vacuum cleaners, so called fine dining, make-up, hair styles, cothes, shoes and so than I ever thought I would. If they do not want to be involved with my silliness then I am fine with that. My wife is into remodeling the home and she always gives me the opportunity to voice my opinion and help set the budget. If I show no interest, then she handles the transaction and I have to live with the results. This approach may not work for some, but it works for us. Lastly, we believe that cash is the only way to go and if we don't have the cash at the time we do not buy. Keeps me out of trouble.

If you look at life like a snapshot then I agree that I am having a great run of good luck at this point in my like. If you knew me in the early 1990s you would have wonderd if I would make it one more day (or if I even shoud be allowed). I wish you well and thanks for the response.
