I just had my 30th birthday on the weekend. My wife has been planning a big party for me for a really long time, along with a few other surprises. This here is the BIG surprise!!

I was floored! I guess my Dad came and stole the car for a day, took it out into the country and had our photographer friend snap a million shots. She then culled it down to 5 choices for my wife, and the final choice was this one. Then she began the long arduous work of painting this piece of sheer awesome! She did a fantastic job, and now our entire basements focal point is my car! I call her Goldmember.

A wife that understands and supports your hobbies is the best gift. Be sure to return the gift to her in whatever way is meaningful. BTW that is my second most favorite A body Mopar. The first is not a 69 Dart Swinger. Now everyone out there can assume I am talking about your car. Very Happy
