    He is obviously not a stooge. We stooges feel so lucky to have a woman's touch that we would never ignore her like that. F-car does not start? Meh, the stooges will take care of that. Wife wants a divorce? End of F-car life as we know it.

    Change the plugs, fire it up, give it an Italian tune up, then jump back into bed.

    If I remember well. That graphic was produced by a fchatter a few years ago. Still true though.

    Yes. Very funny. For me even more, since I experienced exactly this in my thirties and early fourties.
    But somehow when approaching age of fifty and after it wore off and I never experienced such bad moods again when technical things went wrong. Side effect was: fun increased.

    BTW, my wife loves to assist when I work on my cars and I need an additonal pair of hands or smaller fingers than mine.
    There's an important parameter in any hobby: WAF (wife acceptance factor)

    Best Regards
    Martin

    I have to say that I really never lose sleep over the Ferrari not starting. Eventually, it always starts.
