Gearheads In Love - Romance Challenge

[Kristine_ES]

When you flip through our wedding photo album, the first pictures you'll see are of me and Mike perched on the hood of a '71 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight. Big green monster that's better than its Cadillac cousins, if you ask me, anyway. We said our vows and ran to the car, perched on the hood, and Mike clenched my hand and raised our arms in the air like we just won Indy.

A lot of work went into getting that car ready, and he did it all himself. He took the average stock engine out and stuffed a 455 marine engine in, and she sounded like a big bad burbling boat going down the road.  I hope that since our marriage back in '95 he doesn't feel like he's doing it all himself, still feels like he won Indy, and his big bad burbling biatch with mudflaps instead of cute sidewalls ain't so bad--and if she is--I guess there's always Ebay.  ;) 

 

(sorry no pictures... hubby prefers to leave relatively few internet footprints)

thanks dudes and dudettes...  i think we did all right! *heart*

[Jamie Hogan]

When done right, cars mixed with girls creates some of the best romance around. You (and he) obviously did it right.

[Harry]

Sounds like a perfect match. Not every girl can appreciate a '71 Olds Ninety-Eight!

[Bill Floyd]

I think you both won.

[Diana E. Backhouse]

Shame about the photo, but an enjoyable read just the same.

[Cath Barton]

Imagining it is better than seeing a photo...

[Stephen Torelli]

...a super six and I'm sure he knows he won Indy.
