This has been an interesting thread and a good read.
I met my wife in 2003, at the time we both worked for a large electronics manufacturer and she transferred into my department. We chatted once in awhile but she was married so I never thought anything of it. She was also part of a handful of us would go out to lunch during the summer when it was nice out. I had a '69 Dodge Super Bee and would drive it occasionally to work. One day after lunch she mentioned how nice it was to go for a ride and I made a comment that she didn't have to wait for the group.
The next day I thought I was in trouble as she needed to talk to me. Well it turns out she wasn't happy in her marriage and was pursuing a divorce. We started dating shortly after and have been married 7-1/2 years.
And even better she is into the cars. We traded the Super Bee of for a Pontiac (restored '56 station wagon) and have purchased two more Pontiacs since ('54 sedan and '41 coupe). She enjoys the hobby and gets into it by dressing in period clothing for cruise-ins. While she was sad to see the Super Bee go we have had a lot of fun with the Pontiacs.
I got lucky - a woman who puts up with me and also supports the car hobby to the point that she wants a fourth Pontiac - a '48 Streamliner sedan.
