“My wife would drive us on many of our date nights in the old cars I had. She didn’t know about my pedal pumping fetish in the early years. She loved driving my old cars and I (somewhat) enjoyed working on them. I always got such a great show because I would tune them to run less than ideal and just tell her that’s how it’s supposed to run. She believed me and growing up in the era of the 60’s & 70’s, she was very familiar with all the types of pedal pumping. I would sometimes give her bad info at times when she’s broke down in the car. I’d tell her to pump it more when she shouldn’t or I would tell her to hold it to the floor so it would clear out only to have her try to rev it too much and stall it out. She loved our date nights like this as it was always fun and never serious. She flooded my old Pontiac LeMans right in front of an outdoor bar one night. Had people cheering her on when she finally got it started!”
I took that email and tried to come up with a scenario to resemble it with Vivian. We’re going out in the old Bug and she has all kinds of trouble with it! Our ‘date night’ is off to a great start!! 😎
