sneaking toys by the wife

makovai said:
I have the cad file for them, but trying to get something through our waterjet is like waiting for grass to grow. I have all the tools at my fingertips and we are so buzy that i cant get a g-job through. I actually had to wait for a week b4 i could get the sandblaster open to clean the parts.

Is anybody feeling sorry for me yet? :crazy:

I'll work it out. I still have time as I'm almost done with the front axle.......just waiting on muddytaz. (hint hint)

Btw....props to taz for trading me the knouckle work.:bow:

They'll be done soon. I pm'ed you back BTW :thumb:
 
In my house it's a "don't ask, don't tell" policy!
 
Like my buddy Jim always tells his girlfriend,
Honey the Nova and all the guns were long before you...


Course then she pulls...well my horse was here before you.

So did I ever tell you guys I was hired to shoot a horse:haha:
 
Just let here know that you need at least one vise... Your not hurting anyone, doing anything illegal, cheating on her, your not in and out of jail, exc...


So you'll be out back working on your vise....
 
I would always use "i got it for $50 (for the small things) or $100 for the bigger things off of ebay/friends/JY etc.." but you gotta switch it around a bit.

lastnight i got the "well if you hadn't traded all that stuff you could have sold it".

This is why i'm frustrated. first i got into it with her cause i spent money. then it was cause i was buying things making a profit and using the profit to buy toys, then it was that i was selling things to pay for toys.
My latest skeem was to trade for everything, and i have pretty much done that and now I get the "you should have sold it".

whats next...............give blood and plasma 8 times a week:confused:
 
My latest round of excuses have come in the form of safety excuses. That was pretty much the excuse for my entire buggy in progress. I didn't have a cage in the old K5 and the body was about to fall apart. The only thing I could do was tear it down and rebuild. "If I buy another one I'll just tear it to shreds like I did this one. After I'm done with this build I'll have something I can wheel until I decide to move on and not have something I'm forced to scrap after a year. Besides, it'll be lighter and more stable and everything will be tube so it will be extremely safe. You don't want the roof to cave in when I roll it do you?"
 
My wife is pretty good about it. I explain to her that:

If I dont get the heads, cam, and intake the engine will run like crap.

If we want to tow the car we have to buy a bumper cuz the little hitch we have wont work. Do you really trust a 3500lb $28k car behind a hitch meant to carry a bicycle?

If we dont paint it it will rust and cost us more in bodywork.

I have to get the 1 ton drivetrain so I dont break the little 1/2 ton stuff.

We have to buy headers because the old exhaust is rusty and leaks. You dont want to die from inhaling carbon monoxide do you?

We need rock sliders so you can get in the truck.

The motor is getting hot, we need electric fans and a big radiator.

I have more.....Let me know what you need!
 
buy her something nice liek perfume and roses everytime u buy somethign for the truck to devert her atention

I can't seem to buy anything without getting in trouble. (dont get it wrong, I can do what ever i want............as long as she says it's ok)

I've tryed "thats always been on the truck dear", the "I just painted it", the "you prolly just never noticed it b4" and many other BS lines. My wife works graveyard so i can do all the installs while she sleeps, but i swear she memorizes my truck and she notices everything.

I need some new tricks. :D

When I was in Highschool, I convince MOM that I needed headers since my exhaust manifolds were leaking and the headers would get my CAMARO better gas mileage.......
 
What I have learned in ten years of being married, is just make sure your wife can spend money on things she thinks she deserves or needs. I have been lucky that my wife is pretty thrifty and hates to shop:)) I am the big spender. In the last couple of years I purchased a new pick-up, a second Blazer, an enclosed trailer and three quads. She likes to ride quads so it has really helped with spending money on trucks and quads. As long as she has money in her checking account and has her American Express card she is happy, I think her massages are a waste of money but it is cheaper then the quad I bought two weeks ago. Another thing I have learned, she doens't know that the prices on truck parts are. She doesn't know if 38'' Boggers on beadlocks are $600 or $2600:)) And I won't tell. Woman can tell if you repaint your truck, get new wheels or acessories, but they don't know how much gears cost or if you get a new crate motor:)
