OK, time to weigh in. My wife gladly lets me race and spend whatever I
want!!!!
The only catch [thee is always a catch]
she gets a $ added to "her account only bank account" for every dollar I
spend. A $4000 crank is not on the list.
A 1500 Salisbury and a 600 close ratio gear set is for the winter.
The only problem with the deal is, we know exactly what gets spent on the
car, but I never know what is an expense that should go to her "hobby" money
and what should come out of our common expenses.
Good luck with the rebild Bill -- the pictures are excellent.
