  • Why I Love Sue Unit So Much

    So much more that just a "supporting" wife. She puts up me and all that I do, she even said I could get a blower for Red and then she ended up putting it on the car for me when I got all mad at it. The whole thing took weeks and months.

    This is a blatant re-post, but I can't help it. It's why we "do" it. This is Sue's first ride in Red on a race track. It's so slow, compared to what Red is capable of now, and the highlight is the very first lap out of the pits, basically warming the tires up. SLOWER than slow. But Unit's laughing and crying tears having so much fun. It's hard to tell from the sound track, that first "pace" lap seemed to be the thrill of her life up to that point, she was having so much fun.

    At 2:30 in the video you can almost hear it, her laughing herself silly, enjoying the ride so much. Just fast forward straight to that point, that's all there is to the video. Dang it's slow, but she didn't know it. The greatest thing is she was having so much fun. And she still loves the AMP track the most, getting slung around in the car, hills and curves. She even went for a ride with an instructor at Daytona at 160 mph and got out of the car saying she liked AMP better. "What did ya think , Honey?" "AMP'S more fun." DAYum.

    Just forward to 2:30, that's what it's all about. That right there. No need to watch much more. I love that woman.

    This is, by definition, why our BS wives are specifically known as our "Better Halves"! They have the sense to let us have our toys and dreams, and know exactly how and when to reel us in to reality! All while immensely enjoying the ride!

    P.S. as a side note, one has to remember, It's not the destination that counts... It's the experiences during the journey!

      glad she had fun.
      my last girlfriend seemed to have to mimic my approach to cars, my little sister did the same.

      Stay with the real ladies fellas, you will be better off.

      ..and that red sounds great.

        Bobby was a toddler, I had a Land Cruiser I went wheeling in often.. Thanks giving rolls around, my drivewy is flooded to the tops of the fence posts..
        Load up Pam and Bobby in their "finery" while I wore rubber boots and rain gear.. Drove around th barn in 3 foot deep clay nd up he hills on. Foot deep rutty road that left center section skidmarks.. Pam grimanced and beared (bore?) it.. Slippin and sliding out the other gate. Dad watched it all from the highway.. Pam rode with me lots places sane folks would not go including over a log deck.. Pretty sweet gal!
        Once I was test riding a Venture Royale, dipped nd fingerspelled something.. Looked down, no hnd around my belly in response.. Dip again, no response.. What? Readjusted my mirror, Pam was fast asleep!

            Negative.
            AND
            Negative.

            I don't want to SEE another box-o-parts until I don't even know when.

                              I, too, hit a home run in the wife department though it took 3 tries. Mark, I'm sorry you haven't had the opportunity to meet The One - it's the best.
