Haaaaa, this is a great topic. First pump was cool. Second pump was "Oh my god, another one?" At around 11 or 12 it was, "What the hell?" (in a funny way). Sooner than later she lost her parking space in our garage - she wasn't too happy, but in all honesty, she could care less.

One time we were out-of-town for a family reunion (about 2 hours away). A bunch of the girls went shopping and a few of the guys went to the bar. I found an auction and went with some of the other guys. When the girls returned to the hotel a few of us were having a beer in the lobby. We were all on the same floor and we all went up to my room for some more drinks. I made sure she was in front of all of us to open the door and started recording on my phone. Half the guys behind me snickering. She walked into the room and there was a 6' Texaco leaning on the wall. She just said "Oh my God" and laughed. Then about 2 minutes later I said "I wonder if you can see my truck from our room?" She took the bait, looked out the window and saw a pump in the back of my truck. She just shook her head and laughed. She said, "Only you would find a sign and a gas pump at a family reunion!!"

Anyway, I gotta go. She wants the spare room cleaned before our out-of-town guests arrive for Thanksgiving. It is full of all my fragile parts for restorations. If our guests plop down on the spare bed a few globes lenses and some ad glass will break!!
