Question When It Comes To BOMBING Your Truck, How Does Your Wife/Girlfriend Handle the BILL?

This is a great opertunity for me to get a couple goodies for the rig, the wife is at the "Hair dressers shop" today for a whole 9hrs!!!!! Yes I did say 9 hrs. (Hair Extentions) ..... Anywho, I think tomarrow is a good day to tell/ask/beg/kick/scream/cry like a two yr old in the store for a set of "STACK'S" . I figure this is a good trade, her hair doo $480.00 (there goes a good chunk of my drag comp money ) Set of stacks done right with the coverup plate should come close, (I can do all the fabrication work).

So, how does your wife see all this bombing

Dog, All you gotta do is look at all the bombing I have done. Just say it this way..."Everybody else has more power than me."

Works great for me!! HEHE I been hinting at stacks and guages and all I get is hints I would be better off getting, uh nothing.

After the bills are all paid, she has her allowance, I have mine.

What I save during the week, I spend on my toys.
For larger ticket items, (like an Aftermarket tranny ), I have to wait 'til we have taken care of all the important stuff.
3 kids in college, 3 mortgages, insurance on houses and vehicles,......etc........

It's easier to ask for forgiveness that it is to ask for permission!

What can I say, I'm a kept man.
My wife makes more money than I do so she never has to ask me for $ and I don't have to ask her.

No matter how I explain it to her, she still say's "IT'S A NEW TRUCK! WHY DO YOU WANT TO DESTROY IT?"
I know it's a new truck, but it can be a "nice" new truck .... Sometimes I think I'm just ... One of these day's the bombing bug will deliver the goodies.

Wifey told me once "It's not a race car"

I told her "It's a 7500lb sportscar with an 8 foot trunk".
