Pretty much the same here, except it was my wife that made that point very clear. Every now and then I'll see something like an Oscar India or some aging Italian with a many-holed motor in the front and start mumbling about how we could sell the arruminum beast and get something more suitable for touring...and then she gives me that look that gents that have been married for numerous decades know all too well.
With her, the car is only part of it. From meeting La Familia Kirkham and the trips in the snow to Provo, to loving that old flirt Boghosian, to cruising through rain and sun with strange people (middle eastern bus drivers, pygmy albino Africans, pilots who fly powered gliders with big cameras, etc.) that are now part of our family, to holding fort and making sure folks are fed and comfortable at open track events, to reading stuff over my shoulder from this place and the other place, she has enjoyed the whole damn thing and has threatened physical violence upon my sorry ass for even thinking about it.
NYG...I surely do hope that if and when you dip your toes into the water that your bed buddy is all in with you.
