Well after that, the only solution open to you is to tell her you are fixing the highboy to go pick up an new dishwasher for her because you want to make her life better in any way that you can. She won't believe you but she will let you get away with it because she will know you are doing the best you can after a huge screwup. (And you still get to fix the highboy.)

Well offer to do the dishes until the dishwasher is fixed or replaced. Next time chose your words more carefully.
I like the idea of fixing the highboy to pickup parts, or the said new dishwasher. Nothing wrong with admitting you are wrong once in a while.

You might not get any cooked food or nookie if you dont get yourself outa this. You need to go all out-grovel and beg forgiveness and get a new dishwasher. Forget about the highboy for now cause your gonna lose more important things if you dont.

But she might be a keeper! Maybe she's a good cook and likes to ride the pony without faking it-that can be hard to find. Plus if she agrees to do the dishes by hand her friends will never let her forget it. I can hear the conversation now.
Wife: "Oh, I have to do the dishes by hand cause he spent the money on the truck. Friend 1 " Your kidding right?" Wife: "No" Friend 2 " Oh, he's a *****. Why dont you go out with us this Friday night?" Wife: "Yea, maybe I should"
Another thing you could do is buy the dishwasher on credit and use the cash for the truck.
