DW, 'go ahead' is that anything like 'Don't!...Stop!...Don't!...Sto p!...Don't stop!...don't stop!...don't stop!" ??? :rofl:

And not only did my wife (Ladyhawke) find and talk me into buying the Marauder, she is also the one who found out that Kenny Brown had a S/C package and told me to 'go ahead' and get it. :D

I guess not all women understand cars like my wife. God Blees her SWEET heart. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/fdm/kiss3.gif

[CRUZTAKER]

My wife is around here, but she would never respond to such a question.

Meaning...we make decisions together based on what is best for the family. It would be a rare occation that dialogue would end in as you say..."go ahead", unless some type of resolve was reached beforehand, or I actually had the 'personal' disposable income to do so with out effecting the family as a whole.

The S/C decision is an easy one. Daycare runs $5000 a year. I don't have the personal disposable income...WE do, but WE need to pay daycare and a hefty mortgage...and....so on...

I am fortunate that my MM runs well enough that an S/C at this point is more of a status-quo to me than an actual neccessity.

The other thing is, if WE had the $5000+ to toss around right now...WE'D be on the phone with the travel agent on our way to an 11 day cruise around the Carribean. I probably could have bought EIGHT S/C's by now for all the traveling WE have done. In my case, the travelinn' is funner.:P

And now that we have a third passenger.....man these trips have added up...:shake:

wtf spending $6,000 on a stupid car part is not something you just run to Sears with and then hand your wife your $150 receipt when you get home. Dont even tell me that anyone married would order up a $6,000 part without throwing the hair-brained idea to the missus first. Aint nothing whipped about it, just showing that you like to be married, want to stay married, AND that you have half a brain in your skull. :lol: :razz:

[2003 MIB]

Coli and I worked this out from jump street. She has a personal bank account, I have a personal bank account...We maintain a joint household account that she's in charge of and I make a predetermined deposit into each payday (she also deposits money into that account).

[BillyGman]

I think that "Tallboy" has it right in his post. if you splurge on your lady, then she shouldn't have any problems with you splurging on yourself. It kills me how we can spend up to $50 or even $60 on a dozen of long stemmed roses arranged in a vase and sent to a lady, and most of them don't have any problem with us spending that kind of money for something that will only last 2-3 days at best simply because it's for THEM, but some of those same women will squak all month (and some all year!) about a $6K car part that will last years, because it isn't for THEM......it's all about THEM.....:rolleyes: .

[Krytin]

I'd give ya a shovel - but it looks like ya brought your own! You just keep digging it deeper! At least you always speak exactly what's on your mind, and honesty DOES count! You're ok in my book! (for whatever that's worth)

Yeah it *is* different.... a $50 pair of shoes does not compare to blowing $6,000. and it has nothing to do with "permission" i made a joke on starting the thread... didnt know i'd get so many guys jocks in a bunch... when you have 2 little preschoolers and a house to maintain, yeah... i would'dnt dream of making a $6,000 purchase without saying "hey Charl... errr... i wanna...." I dont know, just being a responsible adult.

Does that make any sense G-man ? what does that mean anyway? Something to do with the G ........ eh, nevermind :P

[BillyGman]

Well, there's no arguing against that! (sure glad MY wife doesn't read these things!)LOL....believe me Paul, I'd never say that to your wife, unless she made an aggressive negative statement about men or about me in my presence. I really have alot of respect for women in general since they're people too just as we are, but I also expect them to be as understanding about guy things as we need to be about women things.

I love being married and actually made the "engagement ring vs. Trilogy" choice a year ago (do a search on the thread). I didn't consult her on that choice and probably wouldn't consult her on a new supercharger purchase either. He knew who I was when she married me (and did it anyway:) ). We have an understanding.
Half a brain in my skull...you may have me on that one:o

[BillyGman]

I think it's great to discuss things and that includes finanacial decisions as long as it's a two way street. I often find that it isn't a two way street at all, and the guy thinks w/his hormones.........ooooops...did I say that?


.....I don't know about your wife.....but too many American women are control freaks......but it's mens' fault for putting up with that.......

I know a woman who litererally has 104 pairs of shoes....and she still can't wait until next week to shop for more.......how is that any different than a S/Cer purchase? But her hubby puts up with it.........why?....I think you know the answer to that.......and so do I........BTW, their home is worth about $180K so this isn't neccessarily a couple who's filthy rich either........but this is just one example of expenses. I'm sure I can use others, but I think we've had enough drama for today.But i think this is what someone should expect when they start a thread on a CAR BOARD about the negative aspects of buying go-fast parts for CARS.

As long as we're all being "retarded" I get to have fun too.

I would tell my wife I was planning to buy one, and explain how I intend to pay for it. That would be the issue, and not the fact that it was for my car.

We split bills. I pay everything concerning the house, and she pays daycare and food. If she wants to buy something, she tells me, tells me how she is going to pay for it, and then she does what she wants.

We are both responsible, and we can handle ourselves. We don't need to answer to one another but like to keep each other informed. I can ignore the baby clothing discussions, and she can :rolleyes: when I talk about mods.

Oh, and we don't celebrate vday, either. Since it's not even a holiday and was created for greed, we like to show affection for each other every other day of the year. Today we curse and fight, 'cause it's fun.

OK, not really, but not one friggin' dime on this made up crap for us. The amount we save will buy us a nice evening out at one of them there high-falootin' restaurants.

When I got married my mother told my wife, "Dan isn't that bright. If you want him to know something you'll have to tell him straight out. If you hint he won't get it and he usually won't think it matters enough to try to figure it out."

My wife has taken this to heart and when she wants me to know something she tells me to sit down, shut up, and listen. Most of the time I'll get it when she does that.

[Marc]

It just seems to me that marriage shouldn't be about compromise so much as it should be additive for each individual. Neither indvidual in marriage should really be forced to give anything up in union, but rather bring something additional that both benefit from.

So I would look at this as she a got a supercharger that she would not have otherwise gotten had she not been married.

[LordVader]

:bows: Marc,

You are right..if she has to ask the question, then she will never understand my need to spend the money to go "faster". It's not so much the destination as it is enjoying the journey along the way!

You all forgot the most Important Thing That these cars were suppose to come from the factory with the trilogy setup but due to a woman in control over there (I can't remember her name and don't really want to) that is why they didn't make it to our cars.Thanks to Trilogy motorsports for offering this supercharger for a selected amount of Marauders and that Lisa (Defyants wife) should let him get the thing while it is still available ..Because after they sell out THATS IT!!!!Sorry Charlie!! Anyways I like being the fastest Marauder in maryland ..So when i see you guys on the highway ya'll can check out my SS inserts even when you floor it... :D

My wife can't wait for me to get supercharged...hopefully in a couple more weeks :D

[jstevens]

My wife is super sweet and has let me mod away even if it means no warranty (knock on wood).

So far, the answer is maybe after its out of warranty, which from new is 1.7 years based on my driving.

And I'm thinking more higher than 5000 when you figure in s/c, install and probably widened rims to hold her to the ground.

I'll keep working on my wife. (I know she'll say yes if I bug enough)

That when women say, with a crabby face, 'go ahead', that it's a DARE...... NOT PERMISSION ??? :argue:

:mad2:
I don't have to ask PERMISSION .... I decide if I want to get a Marauder, to buy a supercharger, or throw money away on a 28 foot SeaRay Express cruiser. :D The decision is easy ... now getting hold of the checkbook ... that's a different story. :rofl:

Seriously, the process that has worked for the past 30 years is that we come to agreement on every major purchase. Generally, this is in the neighborhood of $100.00 give or take with some exceptions like Christmas, birthdays, etc. But, I am well aware of the limits that'll bust the bank. Living expenses and obligations first ... then the niceties !!! :)

Right now it looks like I am winning, after all he got a MMX driveshaft for Christmas.


:banghead: Why didn't I put that on HER car?

LOL :laugh: :laugh:
...................... Lisa Lisa,
It has been a lot of fun (at least for some) - thanks for starting it!
That last bit.....
I'm not gonna say anything more in this thread!

It's the same old story ... she gets the goldmine .... he gets the shaft. :lol:

[dwasson]

I dont know why you boys want your cars to go so fast, and spend an arm and leg to make them go so fast..... last i checked, the speed limit in the U.S. averages 65 mph as the high. :P

LOL :laugh: :laugh:

I don't know why anyone would need more than 4 pairs of shoes. It's one of those things that make men and women different.

I knew someone would agree with me.

That when women say, with a crabby face, 'go ahead', that it's a DARE...... NOT PERMISSION ??? :argue:

especially when talking superchargers!

:mad2:
Sounds like a dare to me....

Sorta like "don't let me hear about you getting a supercharger" means the same thing as "don't tell".

I've been on the other side of this equation. Last year, about this time, my wife announces she and my daughter are going to Britian for 10 days. Bye, bye tax refund... for the third year straight. :mad2:

[LCSO34]

Since we have been married I have bought two couches, 1 K apiece, Two week vacation in France, 5 K, two Cars for her 30 K, when I mentioned a super charger she said " You wouldn't let me buy those paper dolls of Rod Stewart off E-bay" a ten dollar item. I didn't tell her how much a S/C cost though. So what am I doing after she goes to bed, on Valentines Day. Search--EBay: Dolls, Rod stewart, Paper..:D :D :D

Well, I like to have fun too. :D The last mod to my car, an 02 Firehawk, was a Loudmouth exhaust system. It now sounds the way it should have from factory and gained a couple extra horses. I can't wait to dyno it and run it at the track again this spring. :woohoo: :drive:

Lisa, Look forward to meeting you at one of the CAM meets.

Mrsteamrope, Cool! Sounds fair to me too. :up:

I learned along time ago when it comes to spending on what I want----What she doesn't know, she doesn't need too know......... It's kinda on the need to know basis, ya know. :burnout:

[/putting on Flame Suit] :flamer:

All I got to say is this, and then I'm getting off the soapbox...

My wife and I both work our tails to make what we can and it isn't easy.

We have to support Uncle Sam, Westchester County, City of Yonkers,
a Mortgage, a Tuition, 2 car payments, fuel for both cars,
insurance for both cars, Cablevision, Con Edison, Verizon, two AT&T/Cingular lines,
and take turns playing chauffer for an 8 year old that thinks money grows on trees...

Whenever we got a little extra money to spend on ourselves,
it usually goes to the rug rat before it gets to us.

Once in a while when it gets to finally be spend on us, we get whatever we can,
if its gold, silver, platinum, or stainless steel...
The way we look at it, whatever it is, its made of metal, and brings a smile to our faces...

Thank you...

{WHISPERING}
Dooney Burke hand bags with matching accessories work really well too....;)

Dude....

You are lucky if you are just getting off with Dooney & Burke...
If it doesn't say COACH, my wife doesn't want it,
and it can't be just any COACH Product...

[STLR FN]

Heck I'm in the ***** house now with the purchase of the Marauder, she wanted a Sable:rolleyes: . So I guess living with QVC, Dooney & Burke, Coach, Etienne Aigner shoes and whatever else she wants is a small price to pay till I get my S/C.:D

And yes that is her smaking me in the head in my avatar.:argue:

I agree. Good Job Lisa.

I have a question for Bunny. Since you would have installed a supercharger this spring regardless of whether you won it or not. Please go spend the $6000 to buy one and send me your the kit that you won. I'll pay the freight and reimbusre you the $100 you spent on the ticket. I might even throw a case of Amsoil in for Bob. He needs to get a little something out of this deal too. :D
