Hi Robert,

What you should do is tell me where they are and I'll see to it that you
won't have to argue with your wife. Yeah, Yeah, that's the ticket, I'll a, 
take care of em' for ya, yeah.....  ;)

Anyway, I was in your same situation about 5 months ago.  I just told my
wife flat out about a '59 pickup in the paper thinking that she would say
"yeah right, no way."  But she suprised be and told me to go have a look
see.  She even let me take a large amount of cash with me to boot.  
So give it a shot.  Ya never know...

Good Luck,

Steven
