I have a feeling my card collecting days are going to be severely limited for a while....at least until my wifes blood pressure drops back down to under 300/210. Her car broke down on her coming home from Lubbock the other day and I finally got it to the shop at about 1PM this afternoon. On the way to the shop I passed the local Chrysler dealership and instead of getting my wifes old car fixed, I traded it on a blue 2004 Chrysler Crossfire, it's a program car with a little over 2,700 miles on it. The dealer is a good friend of mine, and the dealership is a good friend to the police department, so I made out with a pretty good deal, after my trade in, and a little down payment, our payments for the next five years will be a little over $370 a month. Went to the insurance agent, got the old car dropped off the insurance and added the new one and our insurance magically went up a grand total of $163 every six months. Took my wifes new "pride and joy" to the house and she nearly blew a flippin gasket!!!!!!! Something about the extra $126 a month we'll be paying compared to the car payment on her old car, yadda yadda yadda. I'm just glad she's working grave yard shift so I can sleep in my own bed tonight. Anyways, I think most of my card dealing will be by way of trades and the occasional sneaking it in the house from my patrol car after she's already gone to work.

It's amazing how we think we know what we're doing when it comes to our wives just to find out we don't have a clue.

She took the car out and drove it to her moms house today.....her skin color is still a little red and her blood pressure is almost normal again.....the only thing she's upset about now is the fact that I didn't get a convertible....the car I traded was an 02 Mustang convertible. I don't see why that matters, the car was a lemon from the day we got it off the show room floor, and the only time the top ever went down on it was when I drove it by myself....she never wanted her hair to get messed up in the wind. The main thing she was mad about was she thought the money I threw in as a down payment came out of our vacation money.....I cashed in two CD's that I had in my retirment fund to add to what we got on our trade. After she found that out I think I'm safe enough to where I don't have to sleep with one eye open.
