Wives?

MarkGideon

I have been married almost 20 years and never felt the need to ask for permission or justify any car part.

My wife understands the concept of "boys and their toys." Buy anything I want, long as we don't need anything else at the time, and I have the money for it. Trying to figure out now. How to explain to her I need a '16 ACR Viper in the garage.

This. Been married for 7 years and have never needed to ask permission to buy anything for the car. My wife supports my hobby/addiction the same way I support whatever she does. Obviously, I don't run up debt on any hobby but that should be standard practice anyway. Maybe try involving her with the car? My wife comes to the track, help with installs wherever she can (even it's just bringing beer and samiches) and cleans it with me. Then when I buy sh!t for the car she feels included and the door is wide open.


Not to rub it in but on my 350z she texted me a picture of the Work wheels I had for it and actually said "bronze Works would like pretty on the car you should buy them!" That was a good day lol.

That depends on many aspects, how much you make is a big one and how much you spend on other 'stuff'. If you only have one hobby (car parts) that its easier. Also i noticed its better not to say anything just buy and see how much crap you get, then you know what your spending/bitching threshold is...yes its a science
