Hmm. I wont ask you how old your wife is and in any case back problems dont only come with increasing years. But when you do get that sort of issue, then maybe its time to move on. I had to do so with the Lotus, which I still regard as the best small sports car of all time, because both SWMBO and I found it increasingly difficult to get in and out of. Sooner or later I know that I will have to adjust further and buy something like an F type. Or even a big old wood and leather Jag saloon which I really rather fancy.
I look like having to do the same with the boat where after 30 years SWMBO has finally put the barrow down. Loving wives often tag along with all our male obsessions and fads but when they become pain and an endurance exercise its time to move on.
I refer you to the title of this thread
