 I hear ya Dave, my better half (Sue) supports my hobby and lets me do what I 
want, but her car has to be right too. I've been tinkering on it off and on 
for a while, but still not good enough to get her out of that domestic water 
cooled thing ( Chevy Astro). I think it's an FI thing, as when she started to 
drive ALL cars were carbed, but when FI became popular, she moved with it. Now, 
if its not FI, it needs to start and run like it is,  :(  and that doesn't 
help any. My dad said it was because " she would fire it up, roll out of the 
garage, (letting the garage door close while she lit her cigarette) then head out 
the drive (on to work) without letting the idle come down any" that keeps her 
from driving her type3 everyday. I said, "No, she just needs to get into VW 
time", as when driving a VW you don't care about getting there on time, as its 
the ride that counts (you get there when you get there, and not worry about 
it).
