Louis Vitton, Dooney & Burke, Coach and Victorias Secret. As long as these names show up at the door now and then, Billet, paint and chrome are more than welcome as well. Actually, if there is a rift over $$ in the house there should be no truck or no wife. If we must hide or sneak or " launder " the $$, then the fun is lost. My current wife is more understanding than the last since I owned 19 cars and trucks when we met 18 years ago. I just make damn sure that I can spend on her near what I spend on my hobbies. I must admit there is NOTHING better than a happy wife waiting for you after coming in from the garage at 10:00 PM if you know what I mean. I would encourage all to find and keep that balance in life and hobby. When the wife elects to buy a $4K interior for your effie on her own, then you are there. Good luck with both the wife and effie.

The fortunate thing is she's as big a gear head as I am, never complains about purchases for the truck or race cars. She bought Gracie and paid for our garage out of her small inheritance from her parent's estate. How many other wives ASK for a set of race tires for their birthday every year??? She's a good one and I think I'll keep her!

OK I gotta chime in. I know my wife's a keeper. When my brother told her I had bought a truck at the tow yard auction were he worked she paid for it. Yes we've had a few high volume discussions about money spent on it. But shes also put a new Edelbrock under the tree. She also opened a separate checking acount for my truck. I'm getting a $3k bonus that she doesn't know about. I'll be giving her some nice diamonds so I can spend a couple grand. You know when you launder money you don't get a 100% return but it can be spent however you like with no consequences. Just had my 18th anniversery she got me a detail kit and $200 truck money now thats love. Rich
