The wife and I dove into a shoe store where she bought a pair of shoes after looking at countless pairs, settling on the first pair she saw. We then head over to Micheals to snag a pair of much coveted fake poinsettas. Our day is almost complete when, while sitting in the food court drink a mocha latte, she spots a store that has to have these ear rings and necklace that would look fabulous with her new shoes. In a very high voice and a hint of a lisp, I suggest she go look in there as I search for rescue. I found it in Sears ... the tool department. I bought a pair of sanding wheels and recovered my manhood. With my new found strength, I stood my ground and we ate at Red, Hot and Blue instead of Merry Heart Tea Room. Pulled pork over tuna on croissant any day ... Costas, I live vicariously through you ....

MINE DOES THIS TOO! Yup, we will hit DSW (where they stock like, 6.4 billion shoes) and she will walk a bit, find a pair she 'kinda likes', tries on her size (they fit) and then say 'well, let's keep looking'. About an hour later (or so it feels), we got BACK to the FIRST pair and buy them and leave. I've tried saying 'great, they look good, let's get them and go', but it never works. In her defense, she endures autocrosses, rallys, hpde's and roadracing with a smile and fresh food, so I'm for sure getting the good end of the deal, but that shoe store comment had me laughing out loud. Been there, done that!!! The vettte was 30.6k. We've been looking for a while and still being under factory with new pilot run flats it is a solid deal. It is stock as a girl in white panties (no airbox mods, no exhaust mods, no hacking anywhere, etc) and she loves it. Through more searching we might have eeked out a better deal, but this was definately a very good deal and I can live with that. It follows my mantra 'keep the women happy' because when they are happy life goes much easier for me (and my racing!). Costas cars and such...

Not a bad place to gurl watch ... lot's of bending, kneeling and crouching exposing a pierced naval from all kinds of angles. Damn, did I just say that?
