Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
 

If the wife only knew how much money I drop on this truck she would $hit a brick. Just ordered the extreme drop front member, ther control arms, and a complete drop kit for the rear. Not sure how I'm going to pull this one off lol.

Anyone else going to find their way into the dog house?

my favorite little white lie is, i traded for it;)

Sounds like a great response.

I am very fortunate to have a wife who encourages me to spend and get what I need.

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
 

The only money I put into my truck is what I make from buying and selling or side jobs so the wife doesn't care. Although she would rather have a hot tub I would rather have new bumpers.

"She Money" - What She don't know won't hurt her!

I don't hide money, it's a marriage...trust...respect all that but if I have cash I don't answer questions about where it goes, mostly because it's assumed that it would be truck parts.

My wife does razz me all the time because I do things like wear holes through the soles of my shoes because I'd rather have parts. She says my trucks are dressed better because I have my priorities backwards!

It's about compromise. Regular trips to get her hair, nails, and a housekeeper 2x per month gets alot of mileage.

Oh yea from the wife for sure.. I call it "maintenance" items it needs from time to time.. She buys that. I hope!

Truth!!!

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
 

My wife is completely onboard with what I spend on my truck and her Chevelle or the other toys .She is the one that suggested for me to buy a tilt column for my truck and then asked what else I wanted for it .My wife is all about car and truck toys though ,she loves them as much as I do if not more .

I'm a fan of the "traded for it"response as well. I don't tell her unless she asks which is pretty much never!

My wife is an accountant, there is NO hiding money stuff from her. I don't need to really, though, she's on board with my hobby and figures the alternatives could be worse. :tim::alky::ele::barn:

My first truck was a 65' Chevy Truck when I was 18 yo and I'd always dreamed of building another...I loved that truck! The woman I was married to for 20 years wouldn't allow me to spend money on toys. Once I brought home a 66' with the dreams of my 65'. I was so excited! She made me part with it after 2 months of nagging and griping. So I sold it and a few months later, I got rid of the wifey, got me 65' and an awesome girlfriend who is supportive and involved in every aspect of my build. Life is great!

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?

I bought mine just before the sons wedding, and offered to have it ready for the big day. Then it didnt seem to matter what or how much just get it done!

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
 

What Truck?? That old thing, I'm gonna get it running one of these days. In the meantime I accumulate parts. Good thing is she doesn't answer the door for the ups guy. He just leaves them on the steps and they never make it into the house.

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
 

I buy my lady everything she wants! So when it comes time for a thousand dollar order for any of my cars and she wants to say something, all I have to ask her is where she got that Jimmy Choo bag...

Done deal.

I don't hide anything, I actually have a detailed list of costs thats she's seen. She's also a banker so she can get her eyes on my accounts lol.

But car or not....always keep some cash your old lady doesn't know about....thats just man code.
