Dear Abby Corvette

[Roger W.]

There was a letter to "Dear Abby" Column today from a woman complaining that her husband had retired and to occupy his time bought an old Corvette to restore. She was concerned about the expense of the parts and that something was always breaking on the old Corvette. Now he has purchased several more old Vettes and their back yard looks like a Junk Yard.
The wife did not mention if the husband was a NCRS member.

That wasn't in Abby's column here today. I would like to see Abby's response.

Re: Dear Abby Corvette

There was a 57 on eBay. I told my wife of 32 years and numerous corvette that I bid on it. She said you better not get that car or I am selling the rest of them. The 57 did not meet reserve. I live to gamble another day

Re: Dear Abby Corvette

DEAR ABBY: My husband retired four years ago. At first he seemed to enjoy not having to go to work. Then he got bored and needed something to do. For some reason, he bought an old Corvette to restore. I was supportive, until I found out it's an expensive hobby. Finding and buying all the replacement parts costs money.He has been working on that car for 3 1/2 years now. As soon as he gets it ready to drive, something else breaks. Meanwhile, he has bought four more old Corvettes "to work on." Our backyard looks like a junkyard.We haven't had a vacation trip since he retired, not even a weekend to the mountains. He argues that we can't afford it, but he spends thousands on those old cars. It has become an obsession for him, and it's "driving" ME crazy. Any suggestions? -- CORVETTE WIDOW IN THE SOUTH

DEAR WIDOW: Healthy couples discuss large purchases before making them. What your husband is doing is destructive to your relationship. It almost seems as though he is using his hobby as a way of avoiding spending time with you. My suggestion is that you and your husband find the money to consult a marriage counselor because what's going on is unfair to you. And if you need a vacation, consider taking one by yourself or with a friend.
