CTATV Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 lying is for suckers... put the foot down or in their ass. raise the hand and i guarantee things get quiet. otoh...my gf had np giving me 700$ of her bonus. muahahahaha. told her there most likely would be modding well before the purchase of the car. so far she loves the xenons and rallitek stage 1 and the hps brake pads and the 960 a/s. she just hates when i drive. it's the neck snapping. got to have a nerdy/smart as hell gf/wife. also...she has to like to drive. i remember the time she took an on ramp too fast in a rented camry and she had 4 wheel drift going on and she was laughing. lying is for failure imo. no need to lie. I think i got it, lying is for suckers.... and wife beating is for winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKLGT Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 http://www.russianbrides.com LMFAO! :lol: :lol: i don't even know how I got into cars... Just one day, I decided I wanted to "personalize" my car... which led to the internet and research which then led to car forums which led to me getting married and then to the subie car forums when I fell in love with the 05 LGT... MMMMM TURBO! I am a car and electronics geek for sure. I get the geekiness from my father (who used to race cars back in the day- maybe that's where I get my need for speed?).

Richard, you kill me you always talk like your some kinda big tough guy but then ask if I want to go and get a pedicure when I'm in WA next! Act big all you want, I bet your GF probably doesn't care if you mod your car. I'm sure she has plenty of other hobbies that you roll your eyes up at when she mentions she wants to spend money on them. It's a give and take relationship for most us. I know if I want to mod my car, it means I have to also mod his car or I get the "oh, I guess I don't need nice wheels either" "I wanted a racing clutch too, but I guess I don't really need it" "maybe next year I can go stage 2 when you're done with your _______ turbo upgrade" etc. And though I may laugh and talk shit like the rest of you, there have been times when I have not consulted the approval of the spousal unit and had to go take something back (muttering and complaining all the way). But usually he lets me have whatever I want unless it's something completely outrageous. Then again, I often buy him all kinds of crap for his PS3 (or a PS3 for that matter), car mods, electronics, etc. Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah!!!

Speedracerx Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Since I'm not married to someone like AKLGT, I just told my wife that my modding is cheaper than me getting a girlfriend;) Been working for 28 years and a whole bunch of cars:cool:!

fishbone Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 oh right, CA same sex marriages! they started today! on my birthday! also firefox3 launch day! i can hardly contain myself. The iPhone was launched on my birthday. Pshah! Everyone knows it's like the second coming of Jesus Christ. I say "like", because the only other thing that comes close to that is the second coming of Steve Jobs at Apple. I am a car and electronics geek for sure. I get the geekiness from my father (who used to race cars back in the day- maybe that's where I get my need for speed?). I work in IT at a major ins co. and part of the people I sometimes support, it's the estimatics team. They've got women on their crew and kick ass at what they do. From personal experience, almost in every single situation that a woman is good with cars/likes cars is because dad was a gearhead and they've spent time together. I personally think more dads should do the same because any woman that's outside the stereotype kicks ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I think we need a new thread...who has to hid shit from their wife and who has stones. When the package arrives, she's usually the one to sign for it and open it to make sure it's what it's supposed to be, so no sense trying to hide it or send it someplace else. She knows every square inch of the house and her mad cataloging skillz keeps track of where everything is so if I try to put something anywhere, she picks right up on it. Stone...meh...

OGG Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Why lie. She/he can't stay mad forever and it's much worse if you get caught later. The few things I've neglected to tell my wife have always come back and bit me in the ass. Fortunately for me my wife would rather see me spend money on an AP than jewelry but the LGT is her car so it would be "for her" anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
