Usually my wife finds out about a new car when it arrives home.
Sometimes much later if I can get it into the shop without her noticing...

We have the same disagreements about boats, watches and diesels.

I must of not looked for a wife from the easy to get along with department.

My wife just blistered me earlier in the week for the "car lot" out front. It was an arse chewing of the highest order. I believe the term "white trash" was bantered about a couple of times.
It is time for me to get Scar out of here. There are still parts I get off him from time to time, be his end draws near.......

My wife doesn`t care how many cars are out front, as long as she has one to drive.
having a yard full of cars is an indication of wealth. I only have two MB, so have a ways to go. just need a positive cash flow.

JUMMYL, I have been across Texas, and there ain`t nothing there, just wide open spaces. what`s a few cars?
but then happy wife, happy life.
We went through Amarillo a couple of times. there is this Mexican restaurant that has a 114 or 115 with flames on it, ever see it? It looks fast.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
