Topic: Maybe you all can help me with an important question

My wife asked me last night why we were building a second race car we already have one?  Then she asked if we are planning on getting rid of the first one when the other one is finished.  I didn't have an answer handy so I changed the subject.

Re: Maybe you all can help me with an important question

I think: "Because we want to.", and, "No, of course not.", will do nicely.

But then again, I'm single.

I think you'll get more helpful answers if you edit the subject of your OP to something more direct, such as:

"Why might a team want to have two race cars?"

/ There's tons of reasons already in this forum:

In case one car breaks during a race

We have an unfulfilled creative streak

The team is getting larger, and we want more seat time

*We want our significant others to have a chance to participate*
(aka, "Honey, I'm doing this for you; it was supposed to be a surprise")

So many reasons...

You forgot "we're stupid"

I did tell her we weren't going to sell the first one.  She started to ask another question but stopped.

I should have amended the great quote by Burt Reynolds and replied "For the glory, for the fun and mostly for the fun"

Does she drive for the team?

If she does - maybe you’re not building a car she wants to build - or theme she can get behind

If she hasn’t driven yet - get her behind the wheel - she will catch the bug and want to build two more cars!


If those two suggestion don’t work ....well.......then..........I got nothing.....
