All My wife knows that it's my side chick. No questions. :)

I race my car and my wife is sort of like a "Team Owner". She expects it to cost money, but she expects me to get something for the money I spend. It's not uncommon for her to ask me how much time I expect to shave off of an average run for a given expenditure.

When I first started autocrossing my Base model 350, I had about $1k burning a hole in my pocket and decided I wanted to order an exhaust. She asked how much time the exhaust would shave off of my runs. I was only expecting 5-10hp max so I guessed the difference would be a tenth of a second...maybe two tenths. We were only dating at the time but she stopped me in my tracks when she asked how much time a LSD would shave...Well, THAT would probably knock a whole second off an average run compared to the open diff my Base came with. The Quaife LSD was my first mod.

Now, almost a decade later, she is my wife and I still have not bought an exhaust. Lol.

Years ago I had a moustache and one morning decided to shave it off. My wife (now ex- for other reasons) asked me if I had gotten a haircut. She knew there was something different but couldn't figure out what it was. It was the next day before she figured it out.

You did not use your moustache to its fullest potential my friend. And that is all.

Update: wifey notice alert
 
Went out to dinner with friends in our sedan and when we got back home, I opened the garage and there was my Z sitting tight. I looked at her and noticed she was looking at the Z's a$$.

She blurts out "I don't like that black frame, you should take that off. What's AeroJacket anyway?" I was cracking up deep inside. I love her so much. I'll break the news at some point.

So true. Look at what I have listed as mods which took about 14 months to acquire. The wifey still thinks "it came that way from the dealer"! :tup:

My car knows itself pretty darn well...

Dsevast 05-31-2014 01:22 PM

Mine didn't even realize when my exhaust was changed.

mhill0425 06-01-2014 07:20 PM

There is a reason I'm still stock... there is no sneaking anything

HEK 06-01-2014 07:32 PM

she knows enough to know which credit card is used to buy my mods and which vendors I use...she is my financial advisor (accountant) and pays the bills so I get the : Home Depot plastic dip?...led's from JD??...CAI from AEM???, things like that but never says we ran out of money, she is a keeper and can cook :stirthepot:
