I'm sure we both have awesome wives, BUT... believe me... I don't let my wife use my '92 as a daily driver, lol (her DD is a Mazda 3).

To be sure, you both have tough jobs. My last assignment in the LA County Sheriff's Dept was as the Watch Sergeant at the largest jail facility in the US of A. When one of her students was missing for a few days, she would shoot me the student's name in an e-mail, and about 7 times out of 10, my response would be - I've got him here (the daily population was running around 10K).

But, as for how cool my wife is... I sold my '92 FSB in 2000. Trying to shorten what is a long story, I ran across the window sticker for my '92 in 2014 when cleaning out my garage. I told her I missed that hoop, and wished I still had it. Her response was - if you can find it, you should try to get it back. I'm not sure if she was being really honest or not, but that was a big mistake if she wasn't. As someone who spent 15 years as an auto theft Detective, I know how to find a car, lol. I found it outside of Denver in no time flat, before it turned into a rust bucket. About 30 days after she uttered her challenge, the same FSB I purchased in '92 was back in my driveway. It still had the impressions from my kiddos car seats in the foam of the backseat!
Holly Shit, now that's is a story, talk about something that was meant to be or good karma coming around full circle. Lesson learned don't let her go again ! oh and don't let your wife go either (-;

Nice!

I like your optimism that you and your wife think you’re close to being empty nesters with kids in high school! 😆We have 6 kids ranging from age 14 up to 32. Good luck! 😆

Nice post, I can attest my wife and family are tired of hearing about it. Although I think they find it hilarious to ask If I have gotten it yet-they know. Tricks to keep the magic- get the first scratch or ding out of the way and don't worry about it. Don't let the kids even think about taking it for a spin without you. Explore!!! ( while you are look for mine- I have been looking for 2 years!)

In a word Steven, "yes". My dearest, and myself are still waiting on our Bronco, but we do enjoy our Jeep. When we're out if we want to take the back road, we just make the turn. Here's a couple pics from our cross country adventure a couple years ago. You guys are going to have a ball.

We didn't know where we would end up, but there was a little dirt path in New Mexico, so we took it. The cows were a bit nosey for sure. :)
