My "significant other" (not Married) has no say in my car life. She hates my car enthusiasm period, but knows that it's just the way it is.

I guess if she's making all the money and funding it, it'd be a different story.

My wife is generally tolerant of auto expenses, especially if it's for her car . If she questions anything, I just tell her it's necessary and that usually is the end of it.

Awesome garage!

Is that a lift on the left?

BM2BZ

i once told my wife i can't get extended warranty after the car is off the lot just an excuse for me to change car sooner but she found out from her friends later and guess i don't have to tell the story after .

I think I've probably burned my wife out over the years. I have heavily modded my truck which is now a show truck. I bought my quad then replaced every part with aftermarket equipment. My motorcycle is completely polished with many mods. So considering my history, she has been very supportive of all my hobbies and she's put up with it for over 22yrs. I do all the wrenching myself though as well as polishing and any minor fabrication and engine assembly. Here's some of my work.

Looks like you're on a tight leash there.

The strippers at the local bar lets me do whatever I want to my car....lol

BM2BZ

wow ! !!!

My wife doesn't care what I do to my rides...she knows I love to do mods and maintenance stuff myself....I buy whatever I part I want, and she has never questioned me about it. The only thing she hates is the time it takes to do the mods is time away from her and our daughter.

It's at an indy shop, LOL......wish I had a garage....

Busta Riles

My wife finds out about some of my mods when the mail man comes, or i get a parcel notice. I usually just don't tell her about mods...she'll notice something and ask about it...by then it's:

"Oh, honey! I got that _____ _____done a while ago. You're so silly & forgetful. Haha. What's for supper?"

Kreuzfeuer

I do this QUITE often

BM2BZ

that's an easy fix. just step away from your garage and spend a minute or two w/her. 10 months later, your daughter will enjoy spend time w/her little brother/sister and your wife will be too busy and could care less whatever you do .

geez, i got this a lot from my wife whenever i see her w/new handbags, shoes, clothes, jewelries....

PHML

Dayam...didn't realize most of you guys here have to explain yourself to the wifey about your mods.

BM2BZ

don't tell me you don't have to tell her nothing even after you did something .

LOL!!

PHML

dude...I wear the pants in the family....not her....LOL!!!

Mr Snappy

AMEN BROTHER!!!

These threads...and even real-life conversations always amazes me.

It's one thing to be respectful and ask your spouse's opinion, but permission?


....these are probably the same bone-heads who have to ask their wives for permission to play golf or go to Vegas with a buddy.

hyperion667

haha!!, I agree with above said statement.........
