And some sewing lessons! The sewing machine you see a little of in the pictures was about $1k. My wife makes other cool things with it like roman shades, etc.

I need to find pictures of her helping me change the clutch on my old 89 supra turbo. I think the guys here would go nuts over that one. Good luck on the sewing machine endeavor!

Ive always said you appreciate things more when you do them yourself. The boot looks excellent. Just like OEM if not better. Awesome job Drake and wife!

I wish we knew Martha's stock broker though. I could use some insider trading tips.

She's always willing to learn about car stuff, and she always volunteers to help me do things like change a clutch, axles (for her car), timing belt, waterpump, etc. I just consider myself EXTREMELY lucky to have a woman like her.
