Yes still married.
When it happened  I was in the dining room with the inlaws and the wife had snuck  into the garage with the youngest daughter to grab the trophy to show it off.
All I heard was a  mighty crash and as I was walking down the hall way my daughter was yelling don't come in DONT COME IN. I don't  know what she thought I  was going to do but it was a accident so what do you do.
My wife was more upset about it than I was.

Would have been an ideal time to get permission from the wife to buy another toy.   :burnout:

Wow! That must be one of those money pits I hear about.
With the kind of luck that you've had with it, I wouldn't bother buying any Tattslotto tickets.

The hood was ajar with a rubber Mallet sitting on the inner fender and when the wife was trying regain the trophy put her weight on the hood (Basically sat on it) and something had to give.
