Daston Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 So far I used "The back box was scratched and dented it had to be replaced" ok so I didnt need a full RSR system. "Ok the car is too loud I agree but a Turbo will muffle the sound and it will be quieter" Ok ok so I am also going decatt at the same time will think of that when I get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I think a lot of us go to far making up reasonable excuses. I could just say "Oh no, the bloody Flux Capacitor has burnt out, I'm gonna have to buy a titanium exhaust/single turbo/RLTC/shiny battery cover/etc etc" she wouldn't know the difference.

grahamc Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 You guys have some problems... Find a woman that earns more money than you, and understands the fact that you are a miserable git if you dont get to modify the car the way you want it. Mine quite happily pays for parts. She is paying for the interior of my car, seat, subframes, runners and harnesses!! At the end of the day, what excuse to I have for ripping the car to pieces, leaving them in the passage way and lounge, then getting a big carbon fibre spoiler sent over, that is now in front of my fireplace.

Pete Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I guess the main thing is me and Vicki both earn good money and roughly the same level (although I still earn more ) What she spends on clothes and more clothes is her business. What I spend on cars is up to me. In all we have shared amounts going in a joint account to cover bills, so no money issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I get the whole "why do you need to go faster? Why do you need that? Oh your such a boy racer blah blah blah" The thing is my car is really the only thing I do spend money on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garetheves Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 luckily my girlfriend isnt into cars so when i upgraded to UK spec fronts on my old car i told her i only took the old ones off, painted them up and put them back on. When she said they look a bit bigger i explained that it was the effect of them being clean and painted. lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 My girlfriend tried to get me to spend 10% of what I spend on the car, on her. I had to start hiding purchases when she got suspicous of me spending so much money on her. But yeah I've previously used the The brake upgrade will make the car safer The ECU will make the car more economical The turbo upgrade will, ah bollox to it, it'll make it go like shit of a shovel. There was a couple of days of silence involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-DEK Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Funny this thread because just today I got rumbled. I ordered a load of parts from Envy totalling around £900 and kept quiet about it. I was waiting until the time was right to tell her before they all arrived. Anyway she found the receipt in my glove box today when I left her unattended when I went to the bank. She went proper mental like, "Blah, blah blah, we're getting married in Sept, do you know what that would pay for?" then, "When you bought this car you said you would'nt spend anything more on it but you've spent 3k already" then, "So whats happened to my 206 then?" Then half an hours silence on the way home. She's still pissed upstairs watching some drama in bed in a huff. MUUUUAAHHHHHHHAAAAHHHHAAAAA! CLASS!!

Guest blueangel Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Its all cool here, missus loves the supe but it scares her but even with a baby due to drop she cant wait to have it sat on the drive. she even decided to sell her fto and get a smaller car so we dont spend so much on fuel and we have the supe for weekends only.life really is sweet.

Scoboblio Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The times surrounding birthdays, Christmas etc are perfect for having upgrades delivered People develop a package blindness and pretend it's nothing incase it turns out to be a prezzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Well last year I went the hybrids direction, bought the e-manage/550s/FMIC etc, etc. Now I'm getting nudged to mod the wife's Supe too! One day it will all end and we'll both decide we're happy with our cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leelbuk Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The Gf knows that I do what I like when it comes to cars... She found out the day I bought the Supra. I could have bought a holiday or used it toward putting a deposit on a house etc. Seriously though, I don't smoke (she does), I don't do drugs and I don't drink very frequently, instead I spend MY well earned cash on my Car. She spends her well earned cash on clothes, hair ciggys etc and I dont complain so I don't expect any shit thrown my way. I take her on holiday once in a while and never neglect her and it's all fine! Couldn't stand it if she moaned and tried telling me what to do with my money, just wouldn't take it, full stop. If your mum can't tell you what to do and what not to do then who else can? Sound fair enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
