Hope it always stays that way. One word of caution though. The words "I do" sometimes have a strange effect on the opposite sex. Those pre-marital attitudes become a little more shall we say conservative once you tie the knot. "Our" money gets guarded a little bit more. And let's don't forget that famous joke about you know why brides are always smiling on their wedding days. Don't know it PM me and I will pass it on,unfortunately I now believe it! Oh yeah I just use my Paypal account to buy parts or cash and try to get them in shop without being seen. Yeah I know I'm whupped.

Re: how do you get new parts past the wife?

We are all whupped one way or another by the women we love, thats why we are so sneaky at times. There logic is never the same as ours so we just have to find ways around those hurdles. What they can't see doesn't exist. Buy on fella's!

Re: how do you get new parts past the wife?

I have a separate (secret) account that I put $100 in every payday. I told the bank to not send any mail to my house. I send all the parts to my neighbor and he puts them over the fence. lol..I just he doesn't get pissed at me. As as my wife knowing, She thinks old vehicles are ugly so I can do whatever I want to it and she will never pay enough attention to know it was changed.

Of Course my theory will be tested when I buy new shoes for my truck

You better finish before you tie the knot, is the only knowledge I am passing to you. You will understand later.
