AkumaMax Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 eh I just make sure the stuff I need breaks in some way. Then I would spend the money for the aftermarket part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimberDHexMods Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Assuming for a second one of you makes considerably more money than the other, but you both want to spend a lot... Oh snap...

Good news is if you modify enough, things will break without your assistance, and you will have plenty of "need" for new parts.

JoeFromPA Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 My wife owns the turbocharged car on a great platform for modifying....that's why she's the one with the mods so far. I own the beater civic SI with lots-o-miles. I agree with the aforementioned "hobby account". It's the best way to go, for both of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL GaTo Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 I've been married too long. She's been ignoring things that I do. I also impose military policy on my mods....."Don't ask, Don't tell.":cool: "Remember..."MODDING is a HOBBY:icon_bigg, not a BAAAD HABIT";) .

B-BGTLimited Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Its called be responsible with your money. If you're having to choose between new wheels and electricity to your house/apartment, you're messing up. Make sure that she knows that car modding is a hobby and that you enjoy the time spent under the car or in the engine bay. If you spend your money wisely while doing it and your wife has problems with it, it might be time to get a new wife. Touche! Hell she dropped 2k to help pay for my paint job on my Beretta, and I paid her back, and now she just BOUGHT me the Legacy... and she KNEW what came with that one. She's not dumb, and neither am I... Right now I'm not doing much as far as performance on the Leggy since I do already have a car that I drop money into. Over the next year or so I may do a set of rims and maybe lower it, but she was fine with that when I mentioned it. But first on the list is maintenance... THEN I'll do performance. Gotta make it last before making it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarovsky Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Dont tell her! that one usually works for me although when I brought home the 2000 Camaro Z28 a month ago and didnt tell her when she asked where it came from I told her I was letting one of my friends keep it in the garage because he didnt have one, after a month of me driving it and fixing things on it I think she is catching on. Maybe one day she will figure it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
