I have a Wife, How do you BUY PARTS?!
So just a bit about my situation... I make about 70k a year and the wife makes around 35k... We make enough for me to spend money on the stang, but she gets upset because she doesn't understand the NEED for SPEED! I just put on a custom exhaust, Corsa 4" tips with customer Xpipe and I got the Bug for mods yet she won't let me spend!
Those of you who'm are married how do you deal with the wife and the car.... They are both my babies, I want both of them to "get me off"

Eh na I can do it, Its just how to please her while spending the cash... I'm looking at the C&L Racer CAI and a SCT XCAL 3 tune... About $850.
Do you guys bribe your brides??? How to spend the least on her, and most on the stang.... DAMN THAT SOUNDS TERRIBLE!

where are you looking that it costs 850 for an intake and tune? have you looked at brenspeed or bama? you should be able to knock 300 bucks off that price and have custom tunes sent to you.

most of the time my wife doesn't have a problem with my mods because she knows that I don't just go out and buy anything/everything. perfect example, I have had the same crappy springs (Steeda Sport Springs-I want to go lower)on my car for the past 3 years and I have been told time and time again to go get what I want, but I can't bring myself to it because I would be spending money to do what is already done....plus right now I am waiting for the "go-ahead" on the GT500 front end & Trufiber Venom Ram Airhood.....
good luck

I get home before my wife, so I just don't tell her. I just run and get the boxes before she can see them.
