Sleep ordering, has anyone else done it?

You have all herd of sleep walking, (which I did a lot of when I was a kid) but now I have a problem with sleep ordering, no really. I woke up this AM and thought I had had a dream about ordering parts. But after thinking about it a little over coffee and then following up by checking on the net, I really had ordered stuff I really didn't need and cant afford, an H pipe crossover kit. And that was the 2nd incident this week, the first one was a tailgate, which I do need and have wanted like forever. Mine has the bag of walnut look and I just didn't have the talent to get it smoothed out when I did my body work. OK the dilemma is my wonderful and understanding wife. Im scared to tell her. We both agreed to stop running up our accounts, as that is for sure a dead end trap. Oh well the deed is done and the stuff has shipped so Ill just have to wait and see if anyone notices the delivery truck. I don't lie to my wife, ever so ????

I ordered a transmission while recovering from back surgery on pain medication, but I have never ordered while asleep. I would let your wide know now rather than later. Suggest you change your computer password to something only she knows and have her log on for you. Turn the computer off before you go to bed. That way you can't get in trouble while you are asleep.
Best Regards,

Jim, I laughed through most of this post until the punch line never came. I used to sleep walk occasionally as a kid so I know that feeling when you have no idea what you did. It does sound like time to secure the computer before something worse happens.

Yeah I think you guys are right. I have the habit of using the laptop after Im in bed. Im sure it's that time period of when Im 1/2 asleep and drowsy that I do this. As for my wife I obviously will tell her, but anyone that has been married for a long time knows that timing is everything when it comes to things like this. It's time to put the laptop to bed b4 me. Even though Im not laughing at the moment, and wont till I've come clean and been forgiven, I thought you guys mite get a kick out of it.

I would just show your wife this thread. At least she will understand that you're as shocked as she is. On the upside, you're getting that tailgate that you've always dreamed of.
Good luck!

I take a combination of meds that make me operate like I had a 6pack or 6&1/5 of. - I have to be very careful of what I do at night - I know you've seen some of my posts that you can't read - Those are just one form of my after midnight antics - Every morning I check to see if I home, my puter and my car for damage so far so good

Normally this would be the kind of issue that would best be handled by a certified marriage counselor (or other similar, degreed quack/control-freak nutjob), but an H pipe crossover?

Cool Beans!*

Got any pics ... Supposedly, the way to determine the best install location is to run a strip of paint along the pipes. Run it hard on the highway, and right where it stops burning off is the ideal spot for the H pipe.

* Seriously though, it's always a bad deal when you are running up bills behind each other's back, a sign of immaturity, insecurity and all that biz. Don't do it.

Thank you for that placement information. At the moment Im kind of putting off opening the one box I received so far (so no pic's yet). If I keep it, that was going to be my first question. Im still waiting for a good time to bring it up to my great wife. She loves this truck as much as I do and does occasionally read the threads.

What engine? A lot of knowledge able people recommend "true" dual exhaust only for Y blocks, no X or H crossover.

I think I "drunk bought" my truck. It was crazy. I drove like 30hrs roundtrip and there it was in my garage. Five years and $15K later it was finally done

Back in the 70's, I remember some of it, I ordered a pizza and passed out. Next thing I know some guy is banging on the front door telling me I owe him some money for the pizza. Later I figured out that my buddy's phone number was 1 digit different from the pizza joints'. Rotary dial phones....

Jim, are you sure it wasn't an acid flashback?
Sounds like you might need some help, next thing you know you might just order something like a new truck or worse... I am guessing you have a really great understanding wife!
