So my (pregnant) wife hit a patch of ice and cracked up our corolla so now she is driving the discovery again. It has no codes, is not leaking any fluid and the traction control/abs works. It is pretty nice to finally have this truck at the point where I can trust my wife to drive it and not worry about whether she will get home without melting it down. She is well versed in the myriad of things that can go wrong and knows where the coolant in the back is.

So all you slogging through seemingly endless repairs, it does come to an end eventually.

 

i'm right there with you!!! except for the whole letting my girl borrow my truck...lol... she can stick to her subaru

 

Yeah unfortunately the corolla is in the garage (ours) waiting for body panels and a headlight to come via UPS. I wish I had a temp controlled paint booth, oh yeah I don't know how to paint.

 

Ummm, what?

 

Wife-proof has to be the highest level of mechanical soundness. Congratulations!

 

LOL thats pretty funny

 

Heh, maybe they are coming fedex ground, I don't argue with free shipping though.

 

i always find that the FedEx guys are jerks. the UPS guy at least signs and leaves my packages in my mud room. i think.. even worse i think the USPS guy f'd my ex-wife. when i told him we were getting a divorce he was like yeah, well she was a pretty one! f'n scumbag

 

Never underestimate the fierce determination of a wife. In a world filled with curbs, center medians, parking barriers, speed bumps, lamp posts, trees, and a rear view mirror just begging to get a glance at a tube of lipstick - a determined wife can get very creative. Wives are exceedingly more efficient than we are. They are capable of an intimate encouter with all of the above in under a city block. We cannot match their prowess in this regard grasshopper...

 

I thought wife proofing your lr meant not letting her drive it.I wish I could wife proof my bank account!
