Not trying to restart an old thread, Just a old heart

As we came home from the St Louis GTG yesterday, Cathy started talking about taking the Xfire to Connecticutt....ALONE... to see our grandchldren.
Perhaps it was the results of a day of wine tasting but by later that evening, she was checking them out on E-Bay.

I don't have a problem with her driving the car to CT. I know she will have a good time. Driving the Xfire for 2200 miles, she will be hooked for sure. But I want the car back. Hell, she could stay in CT but I want the car back!

Anyway, with SRT's dipping below $20K I thought I'd use the "automatic trans" tactic. "I'm getting used to the manual" she reponded. And then rather turtly,"I won't hurt your baby, promise." She was challenging me.

Her competitiveness inspired my response,"but with an SRT, you could beat me, easily." Her pupils widened. "Really?" she said and with a poorly disquised and excited inhale, "let's look!"

So I'm on my way again to the dark side. Anyone need a nice '99 Dodge minivan , or a '97 Durango or a first born child?
