CALL911

So many people have stories of how they met their spouse. Here's mine, and I can't be happier that it was ultimatly my LT1 Z28 that brought us together.
So there I was, the standard for me at the time, under the hood replacing the opti. As I was removing the waterpump I realized that one of the waterpump bolts was getting stripped from all the times I replaced my opti (it was about the 5th time due to the pin in the 1993 cam grinding out my 1995 opti that I was un-aware of at the time). I managed to successfully remove the damaged bolt and I went to the nearest local hardware store to find its replacement. When the automatic doors opened to the stoor, there she was, a beautiful blonde hottie who smiled at me and asked me what she could help me with. After finding a new replacement bolt and kicking the current employee off the register so she could "check me out", I left with my new piece to my Z. When I got home and I started wrenching under the hood again, I realized she had been flirting with me. So, I ended up going back and asking her out the next week. We've been together ever since. It took years before I realized she would be the future Mrs CALL911, but I eventaully came to my senses.
Amazing that our cars are so much more to us than just transportation! :devil:
