It's funny how each of our partners have different priorities. My wife could care less about the paint. Her first priority is replacing the worn out springs and shocks so that she doesn't bounce around all over.

She'll go with me to the pick 'n pull, but would rather wait in the truck for me and enjoy my happiness at the rare finds. She will however, sit and enjoy a drink and chit chat with me while I wrench on it in the garage.

Re: Wife's first time at the scrap yard
