My friend, Theresa, has a gear head for a husband. He actually drag races semi-professionally. We have had many a great time at the track over a weekend. He even made it to the semi-finals for his division once and we spent the weekend camping out at the Indy 500 track!! It is one of my favorite memories.
Theresa called me the other night and said that Terry was having a problem with one of his cars and he needed to look at automotive lifts so he could get his car up off the ground to work on it. He has a great garage/shop, equipped with just about everything, except for a lift. She said he was having some problems with the exhaust system.
She said that he has now gotten into motorcycle racing as well and was looking at motorcycle lifts so he could work on the bike more efficiently too. I asked her where she was going to find the money for these things. She said probably their income tax refund. I am so glad that my husband prefers to watch the racing instead of participate in it. I could not afford him then.
