I think most of them are sisters lol. My wife would be happy if my car dropped off the face of the earth. I do have to admit that to get what I want I have not always been 100% truthful about what the end product will cost. "Oh yeah honey, another 5k and I am done for sure" "Uh yeah, I did not think about that, looks like 3k more and its done" etc., etc. I told her the other day that after paint I just needed "about 5k" to finish her off. She just rolled her eyes at me lol.

   I love it ! I know the drill all to well. I think I have mine to the point of throwing in the towel. I guess it's not fun fighting a losing battle.

Hey some good news! The E-bay VPP guy just phoned and said all is good! He contacted California DMV and the new title will be mailed out Dec 12th !! So it's looking like the seller is legit !! He seems a little "crusty" with me but better safe than sorry! But I might be sleeping in the car when it gets here! Wife is NOT happy!  :swear:Now gotta start planning for building a shop ( 3 cars now )!! Might as well now, might need a warm place to sleep! Maybe by spring "we'll resume marital relations!!"

[willard]

Good to hear that!
I told my wife that there is a guy who just imported "an old amcar" and wants to sell it for half cost, i.e. $10000. In fact I bought it 2 months before and couldnt wait to see it unloaded from a container
Of course I went just to see it but got back with the car on a trailer...
So I think they're all sister, across the world. She doesn't even say that I go to the garage but rather "go to church"

Brads70 - Great too hear. Better get the wife something nice for XMAS.


Willard - Love the story. It's great to hear all of us pull the same/similar crap. LOL

If you don't lie to your wife, you will never have ANY toys.  I think every wife has a "lie-limit", that if you exceed the limit, bad things happen --- from cold shoulder to cold house.

   I went out to see an old friend, came home and told my wife I bought his old Plymouth....... and that I had to build a place to keep it warm and dry......... and that the old plymouth needed to be rebuild......    she just loved my plans    ......... NOT   

but hey; I guess I won 

great news about your purchase 

[ViperMan]

Hah - you old fuddy duds. 

I told the wife I found my Viper - she asked, "Can I place the bid?"

I talk about it for hours and hours, she just smiles at me.  I know she's ignoring me, but it's okay.  When her friends ask, "Aren't you tired of him and his cars?" she says, "He cooks for me, he pays the bills, he takes care of me, and at least he loves cars more than he loves other women!"

It's easy....

I got the Challenger by letting my wife think it's hers..

[dutch]

.......now she wants to take it to the strip when ready.......

I see I have some advantages by being single.

Also I am glad this thing is going to work out and you will get what you have paid for.

In the long run, they're cheaper to rent (women, that is).

That's the truth, I've always been told, "If it flies, floats, or F**ks, rent don't buy!"
