The car and the nice lady have both aged quite well.

The car is 38 years old in the photo, now it’s 50 and I’m 38.

Both the car and I may be getting a little rough around the edges but still have it where it counts.

Mrs. Doorhandle still runs daily, old Malibu runs a few days a week when it’s nice out.

And lastly, old Malibu and I would like to thank Mrs. for giving up her garage spot for 15 years. She’s been a REALLY good sport about all the car adventures.

She’s a peach

Cook her dinner! If you can’t cook, go on a date! Knock on the door, pick her up and everything. Get flowers, too. :]

Also smart, funny, nice looking, prefers to drive a standard, and has come out with a jerry can more than twice. Please take the time to thank your own enabler today.

Cheers to the understanding and self-sacrificing Mrs. Doorhandle!

Mrs. With.a.G lets me park the Miata in the garage while her minivan sits in the driveway, including through 110+degree Phoenix summers.

It’s not like it’s the defining characteristic of our relationship, but it’s important.

A keeper that one, she knows why manual car is better car, she understands that fools like us are blinded by the chrome, And she will commute in a 50 year old car if she has to. She’d drive that death-trap chevy over my perfectly sensible Toyota. Men seem to take notice of a lady driving a Chevelle, and we both get a kick out of that.

I hope when I hit 50 I’ll still start on the second crank and get to spend winters in the garage.
