I would go with the "way of life" montra. You know you are hooked when you go to the local swap meets even when you don't really need anything, and you stockpile spare parts just in case. My wife hates it that we have a 12'by 14' walk in closet and I have it filled to the top with auto parts!

She has a pretty good sence of humor about it.  

Any woman that lets her husband do that plus sport about a dozen hotrods and classics HAS a good sence of humor.

IF BY SUPPORT, YOU MEAN TOTALY DISSASYMBLE A CAR I 2 WEEKS JUST TO HAVE THE WIFE TOTAL HER CAR AND BLOW YOUR BUDGET TO GET HER DRIVIN AGAIN. WELL THE WAY I SLOWLY DO IT IS I WORK 4 10 HOUR DAYS FIXIN SEMI TRUCKS AT THE LOCAL KENWORTH DEALER, THE 3 DAYS I HAVE OFF IM EITHER PUTTIN VINAL SIDING ON HOUSES(PAYS A LOT BETTER THAN BEIN A MECHANIC), OR FIXIN OTHER PEOPLES CARS IN MY DRIVEWAY. I DO IT IN MY DRIVE WAY BECAUSE I GOT A 79 T TOP TRANS AM AND A 68 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL 4 DOOR IN MY GARAGE THAT I EITHER HAVE TIME OR MONEY TO WORK ON THEM NEVER BOTH AT ONCE. I THINK I NEED A NOTHER JOB TO GET THEM DONE ANY ONE IN KANSAS CITY AREA NEED SOME SIDING OR WINDOWS TO HELP MY HOT ROD BUDGET
