Possible major setback SC300 / Wife
Ok some of you may have seen my earlier post where I bought a 92 sc300 factory 5spd for 1k and plan on fixing it up for my 14yr old son over the next couple of years. I mistakenly thought I would be driving it for fun over the next two years. That plan came to a screeching halt today.
I asked my wife to move the SC so I could back my trailer up. You ever had one of those moments where you think man what was I thinking this is definitely one of them.. The wife moved the car drove it down the street came back and got out and told me she missed her 5spd and that she really liked this car and I needed to have it fixed before she starts back to school in a few weeks so that she could drive it back and forth to work.
Yep im a dumbass. Now ive got to figure out a way to discourage this and still stay married!!!

OP, I read that you already have several cars but it sounds like you and your wife both need SC 5-speeds, assuming she really likes THAT car as much as you say and not just any manual sporty car. You should tell her that you wanted to enjoy it too. Second to acquiring another SC 5-speed, you could say that swapping a manual into the SC400 will be necessary if she's interested in the manual car

What a coincidence!! I bought my 92 SC400 for my 14yr old son since the Automotive instructor announced retirement a week before his school started last school year. Well, to stay on topic... I'd say let the wife have that SC and the opportunity just came to buy another project SC. Does more the merrier apply here?
