Not the first, but by far the most extensive. My 350z I modded before I met her. It's a curious balance - she's lavish in some ways (bought a new house and a new car at the same time) but very frugal in others. We've had to come to an understanding on a lot of points.

I can nickle and dime and the wifey won't say a word. Do one big purchase and she blows up unless it's for the house or on her. I'm still catching flak for the rifle scope.

I can relate to that. The only thing I didn't catch flak for was the TracSpec vents. I sent her a picture of Madwi's car and she said 'I like those vents' SCORE!!!!! :happydance:

I only catch hell from mid-September to the end of December..... :ugh2:

The Schmidt & Bender scope was $3200. I made the mistake of using the wrong credit card. When the mail came up. She just happened to open up THAT bill. :facepalm: I still have a lot of gun stuff coming in. It's just been on back order.

I'm starting on your rain shields this weekend. :tup:

That is the biggest thing right there. I am not perfect. I have messed up before. LOL I have got the hang of it now and know to talk first. To be honest, My car is just about done. I can stick with that also. My truck has been done for 9 yrs.

Don’t know you that as far as the wife is concerned, everything costs $800.

Update for Today:
:hello:

Cylinder Heads are complete :tup:
Block is awaiting the Darton sleeves to arrive :tup::icon14:
Fastintentions Turbo oil pan has been shipped out to Mazworx :tup:

That’s all for now :ugh2:

I plan for years, replan, go though a dark night of the soul wondering if I should even do x y or z build, save and then eventually a tsunami of pain ensues but over a briefer period. Rip it off quick like a band aid I say.

Same here. Wife is fine with whatever as long as we can afford it, finances aren’t separate or secret so communication is key. We’re both gear heads so as long as she gets to mod her Jeep and our (her) track car we good. :tup:

Wifey remembers all my car build Fvck ups, so whenever I’m modding, she just wants to make sure I’ve thought through everything and planned ahead so I don’t wind up redoing sh1t etc. she still has trouble getting that on a big build there’s always going to be some things that get missed or unexpectedly come up no matter how meticulous the planning, but it’s all good. :driving:

As long as I don’t secretly delete the a/c it’ll be fine. :icon17:

(Been there, done that)

Saturday Update: :hello:

Fastintentions Twin-Turbo kit, Turbo exhaust & all accessories have shipped :tup:

Oil Pan shipped to Mazworx, or weight could have been closer to mine :wtf2:
