She was pretty good with all the stuff I had done to my 2002. When I was getting ready to trade it, she wasn't so understanding!! She asked me what I wanted on this truck...I told her you know...just gauges, maybe a box, and an exhaust brake. She let me know I was in luck, I could use the stuff I had already bought!! She didn't like my answer, that all those items on the 2002 couldn't be used on the new truck!

Took a while to convince her that I was sure I couldn't make my box or exhaust brake work on the new truck....

 

The dumbist thing I ever did was let her know that I have a file on the truck as to what I've spent on it. All reciets in a folder in the file cabnet. When she totaled up $12,000 in add ons since I bought it. She has been playing catch up ever since.

 

Yep - you spend 500, they spend 500. That's why I cannot afford anything for my truck. - JKE

 

Mine just blew a gasket over the guages I installed. "Why did you buy this truck then? If it was so important they would have put guages in it! I thought you said it was the best engine around!" Well, I had to leave for work then, so I have a fight waiting for me when I get home this morning....

 

Mine was not totally supportive of the mods. But baby, these things will give it better milaege I said (I know, BS!)...

She complained for a little while about how much I was gonna spend...

then she tested it herself

she came back with a BIG smile

I win I win I win!!!

 

you didn't mess with it for a few hours, right? I'd call a few hours "a while"

I've always put it to my girl like this: "which would you rather me mess with... fast cars or fast women?"

I'm just not brave enough to try that one...

 

I don't use it as a threat or anything, but I just point out the fact that a LOT of guys I know sleep around a lot, go to the strip clubs all the time, etc. etc. etc.

she used to complain that I would always buy a car, spend a bunch of time and money on it, and get bored with it and sell it soon after I got it on the road... I pointed out that lots of guys treat women like that, and I don't!

I never claimed to be perfect, but sometimes you gotta remind 'em just how good of a catch you really were

I'm so good, I haven't had to buy her a ring yet! (we hit 5yrs this past April)

 

You guys have seen the Mastercard "Priceless" commercials right? You ought to have seen my wifes face when I said I needed a hole saw kit so I could use it on my month old 04.5. Was just the airbox, but she heard "hole saw" and "new truck" and about blew a gasket.

 

Yeah, I can relate to that one. Taking the 6" hole saw to the bed of the truck for the stacks within two weeks of having this one really went over well.

What if you want to mess with fast women and fast cars?

 

you'd better be a rich man!!!! LOL!!!!


the day a woman tells me what I can/can't do on MY truck, is the day I turn in my man card... just go ahead and castrate me right then and there...

Forrest

 

Maybe you could at least hang them on the tow hitch then?

 

nah, they'd be in her purse...

my truck = MY truck!!!
