anyone else have the "wife" blues?

Like freek, I also throw money into a toy fund every paycheck for my hobbies. Also, I find buying something for her every now and then doesn't hurt either.
 
foot rubs or back rubs whenever she snaps

We already do that kind of stuff for each other.

She knows I have my toys and as long as it doesn't hurt the family why would she want to stop me from doing it. She knows I love my cars and she likes them too, just not as much as me.
 
yeah with me shes not totally on board but understands it is my hobby and what not so as long as it is beneficial to the car (intake- fro better mpg, TMIC so the car gets colder healthier air, MM so the car is not so jerk- got bonus shifter bushings, RSB to kill body roll, and well BPV cause it makes a funny noise (which she loves))

Anyways i get 5% of monthly income for the car but im in debt with that cause of the TMIC and have to wiat till i get omre back in the fund
 
I don't have this problem....

yeah.....i kinda like not having a girl problem....but then there is that single problem....


can't win for losing.....oh well




and on a side not...finally got my motor mounts in....you shoulda seen the old ones.....HOLY HELL
 
As a married man myself I feel your pain a little bit because I can't just do whatever I want anymore, but if it is within reason we just talk about it.

If she wears the pants that much and won't let you buy something relatively small, then yeah, grab your balls back
 
When she's sleeping, you should sneak downstairs, open her purse, and take your balls back.

Sometimes we play around with the whole wife-holds-the-pursestrings stereotype because we're the exact opposite. She'll come home from work and I'll run to a corner and curl into the fetal position. Then she'll laugh and ask what I just bought for the car.


But we know who runs thangs.


*quickly glances over his shoulder*

that should go into the funniest qoute thread... lmao

I think I got you beat on the old mounts being shot... My trans was rubbing the cross member because they were so damn shot!

Some times I wish I was single still just so I dont have to put up with the moody drama thats comes along with a gf.
 
i'm down to buying used parts w/ money orders to hide the transactions. she beats me to the mailbox so i'm still toast.

i'm pretty much done, though. need to see if ken will put an ets tmic on lay away before the summer's over.

i'm 34 and it's my first new car. i bet cameron's mom from ferris buehler was a b3tch too.

Normally I love Kain's little replies... But I have this overwhelming feeling that he might have stolen this one.



As far as the car. I'm 20. I am more worried about getting my mech. eng. degree then what mods to get and which girl to date. lol.

But just always remember, "It's always easier to ask for forgiveness then to ask for permission."
 
My wife thinks I make 20k less a year than I actually do. It works works two fold. 20% of my take home flies under the radar and she doesn't stress me about wanting a new car for herself.

how do you manage that when it comes time to file your taxes? file sperate?
 
I was kidding. I just buy s***, piss her off, and say I'm sorry. Repeat. I can't pull s*** on her anyway. She's a CPA/CFE. She won't leave me because I have nude pictures of her that will go on the web.


That's real power.
 
Ok tough call here....a few years back I was real close to landing an older 911 993 (my first choice). I was still on the fence at the time but I told my wife if they ever made a Speed version of her Mazda3 hatchback I would compromise and get the more practical "Speed3." Low and behold Mazda announced the Speed3 and I stuck with my promise so here I am.

I must say I get tired of any car after 2 years but man I still am in love with this car. It still has the euro handling of my past cars but can really get going straight off the line when pushed.

No mods here. Still happy with stock.

Damn you too? My fiance' has degrees in business finance and business management and has dreams of being a CFO. Financially speaking, I don't stand a chance of hiding things from her. I'm to the point now where I just tell her I dropped $300 on a water/methanol kit, take the tongue lashing (and not the good kind :D) and get on with life. Fortunately she knows I would never do anything to endanger us financially with the car so I'm usually off the hook with a roll of the eyes and a sigh.
