Beej: Whilst shock therapy is fun for the whole family, the answer for me has always been to keep some sort of alternate project in the garage.

I know you well enough to know that we are very similar (except for your rugged, Marlboro Man type looks).

I MUST mod something...a VX, a bike, a tricycle, a hairdryer.....something.

When you get your fill of the VX, wash her up nice and clean, tuck her in for the night and go cheat on her with another garage project for a while. She'll understand, and when you get back together, the "makeup mods" will be the best ever!
