Re: I think she hates my truck.....

I was going to cash mine in for two twenties when she hits forty... but I'm no longer the high paycheck master of the world I used to be. I guess I'd better count my blessings and just pray she quits crashing into my truck.

Oh, Boy!!! That means I get three 20's and a five....Oops! That doesn't work.

Okay. Two twenties and a twenty-five.

NaaaaaH. I remember a few months ago when the dough was pretty tight...I thought I had all the major parts for the truck either bolted on or wrapped up in the bed ready to install.
It turned out that the newly painted steering column was garbage...She made a trip down to Early Classics and pick up (and paid for) a new tilt.

I came to her with a bunch of bad habits...Bikes, cars, trucks.....Some bad habits that are unspeakable but long gone. All I really had to do is learn how to do the dinner dishes with a
smile (big return on little investment), come home for dinner (if I said I was going to be there), be a good dad, and stop whinin' about stuff.....

If I work it right, she will have "kept" me for forty years next September.

P.S.....She doesn't read this Forum.

Re: I think she hates my truck.....

My wife just wishes I could finish a project so that we can enjoy it. But she did one day ask me If we ever divorced if I would be out the next day looking for a new girlfriend. I told her that honestly if she ever left me that I would probably spend all my free time in my shop because I miss that about single life way more than going out to get laid. I love my wife and two kids more than anything in this world, just wish I had a little more time and money to devote to toys.

Re: I think she hates my truck.....

Stuff happens man .. I'm sure she didn't mean to. Cut her some slack. you're gonna blast it anyway, that shouldn't be too bad to fix. If you give her a hard time about it, every time she even thinks about a truck she'll remember this time when she accidentally bumped it.

.. just my .02. As bad as it sucks, I'm sure it was an accident.

When my wife and I met I had a basically new BMW 335 6Speed. After we started dating more seriously I somehow got booted out of my car and into my 96 S10. ..

But, she was backing out of the driveway one morning, about 4am and ran over some landscaping stones in the yard. Yeah .. put some nice pinstripes down the side of the 3. You just gotta let it go.

Hug her, and just go on. I wouldn't say another word about it.
