I had an 84' Corvette that I could no longer justify the cost of ownership. It was a daily driver that literally just began to fall apart. I drove it over 150 miles per day. I did all the preventative maintenance as required. It started with electrical problems, transmission, rear end, suspension, alternator, power steering, etc. I averaged over $ 500 a month in repairs for about 8 months. When it's time it's time.

Good luck to you. Hope you find what fits your needs.

Do any of the spouses like camping or another possible area in common that you could talk about? Sports,high school where you went, embarrassing work,dating moments....I know its hard to fit in sometimes and I'm real happy when I can identify with one of the people. Good luck. Tim

They owe their opportunities to talk about gardening and classical music to you, the one fighting for all of our freedoms. Break the ice by not breaking the ice. Sorry if that sounds like double-talk. I'll explain. When with your wife she can give little non-verbal hints as to when a good time to pipe up might be. My wife is a social butterfly and I almost always say to her if we're going somewhere that she should let me know when (subtlely, of course) to chime in. Been doing it so long now that it's gotten pretty easy now. Best of luck.

one fact of life is that many people have to be a part of something bigger than themselves in order to be happy. join a group of people that have the same interest as you that meets regularly and has social events. instead of feeling ostrisized and uncomfortrable in your own skin i beleive your satifaction will inprove and you self esteem will be higher than it is now!
