Mark me down as the exception to this stuff,I made a deal with my wife 41 years ago that I wouldn't use any house money ( regular paycheck ) for my toys and she agreed I could spend my overtime,side jobs, scrounge money on anything I want. After helping her get thru college at 40 years old the first thing she did was buy me a new pickup,she will not point out the hotties for me though, I have to do that myself.
Sounds like my second ex-wife. I got bitched at for spending $5.00 for a set of points for my '55 pickup. She finally ran off with some office weiner. After being slightly crazy for a couple days, I realized that her leaving was one of the best things that ever happened to me! No kids, no alimony, no more bitchin'! Excellent! pigpen
Here's a few batchelor tips for you: If you're eating Cherrios out of a Frisbee more than 2 days a week, it's time to buy some dishes. If the toilet seat won't go down 'cuz the hinges are corroded it's time to aim better and buy a new seat. You can wash clothes with shampoo. If you're doing parts washing in the kitchen sink, think about buying a parts washer. Finally, some words to live by: If you pick it up off the floor and have to smell it to see how fresh it is - don't eat it, don't wear it, and don't fuck it.

[/quote] I found one like that at the bar once....She couldn't walk....Oh yeah we're talkin about clothes or food...Oh well still great advice!!!!!
In understanding relationships with women you must first put logic and common sense aside..they deal emotionally with the right now..they will be bitching at you about not listening, un-organized,whatever, as you are turning around and driving back home because she forgot her purse and his 300.00 overdrawn at the bank..you can't win, we are doomed.....
Man we have been together since she was 15 and now she,s 40! Granted I,m always impressed when she points out a Chevelle since I picked her up in one......
everytime i buy shit for my car or parts that I "might need" or "are a good deal" or I get tattoo'd she wants something of equal or greater value. hot rod chicks are a rare breed, if ya got one she's a keeper.
Here is a man that knows whats going on. Any box that comes to the house is "race car parts" and shes cool with that. I guess shes lucky...
Relationships are important...every hotrodder needs a woman who has a better job than he does, a good place to live, and a late model car that runs...allows you to spend your check on what's important rather than crap that's merely necessary for survival. Oh, yes, her father should own a chrome plating works or a jobber machine shop or something like that... My woman TERRIFIES me sometimes by reinforcing my worst tendencies... "Yes, the Auburn dash costs a lot, and we already spent all the money, but there's an ATM over there and we have these credit cards, and we can eat that stuff at the back of the fridge til next month, and..."
My wife loves the fact that i'm into old cars and motorcyles! Hell, She gave me the shop and property that she inherited from her father. She has a full time job and so do i and we share the household exspenses 50/50. and she doesn't care what i spend on old cars or bikes. It helps that her father was a airplane mechanic and had all sorts of cool old cars/projects. Shit, she got her drivers license in a 54 chevy pickup with 3 on the tree and she drove an old 65barracuda all through high school and colledge. It also helps that she has a 1947 Piper Super Cub that she got from her dad when he past away.so she has her own project to throw money at. (I'm also a aircraft mechanic so i work on the plane to keep cost down). There is good women out there,you just have to look a little harder! We have been together for 15 years and it's been a great thing (not always easy but worth the work) and no i'm not "whipped" Just ask my wife .......
Sam when the hell did you get back to california. I thought you were out in wyoming still? where the hell have I been
WHOA WHOA WHOA.............I have got a severe problem with you calling BEER useless. Hahahaha It has its place in the world and that place is in my secure hands.
Sounds like my wife,as much as I want to bitch about her,she tends to find a way to help me get the stuff I need for the bike or car and now she even enjoys riding in the car and the fact that she has got her own bike now,she understands what I feel when I want to go cruise.
well first of all i could have told you your not going to get shit when you have an old lady. But as long as they have something to shake in your face it kinda clouds your judgement. But congrats on your newly rediscovered balls, spend your money you cant take it with ya.
Also, find a girl who was struck by lightning while scratching off a million dollar lottery ticket with a unicorn's horn because she'll have superpowers that will come in handy. Geez s.r.i., where do you go to meet girls? Superimpossiblenowayville?
Can work great with a wife too. We were separated for close to 1 1/2 years. When we got back together, she kept her checking account at her bank and I kept mine. She pays for her smoking and the food, I pay the rest. It's worked great for close to 15 years.
I lived with one for almost 6 years, that hated the fact that I even had a job working on cars, even though I owned about 10 cars when we met. She wanted me to "get a nice office job" When I sold something, she wanted to know how much money she was getting from it, even though she never contributed a penny! I bought a 66 Impala, and hid it in the garage for three months before she knew about it. I finally got wise and got the hell out of there! Consequently, I went crazy and bought a new truck (To haul more shit home with) a quad, and a Jeep, and got that Impala on the road. Now, almost 4 years later, I have 15 cars, a cool job building custom cars, and a wonderful fiancee, who helps me find more cars and parts, and is totally into it! We went to the Hotrod Hoedown Saturday and she thought it was the coolest show! I knew she was the one, when after we were together only 4 months, she came to the Fall Hershey swap meet with me for 3 days, walked all of the fields, carried parts, and sat in the car corral with the GTO I brought without bitching ONCE!! Oh, yeah, she's not bi, but she even points out the hot chicks when we're at the beach! What more could you ask for?
My ball and chain doesn't complain when I buy car stuff, as a matter of fact she made me buy a '27 T coupe a few months ago when I didn't even want to go look at it and loaned me the money to buy it. So I just sold my '32 (gotta change my avatar)and I am buying her a '55 Nomad with the coupe money. Now I have to put the Nomad together. She won't ride in my '27 roadster anymore ( long story, really cold night, no warm jackets, 100 mile trip home @ 2AM. Don't blame her) so I'm building her the Nomad to tow the roadster and we will both be happy. And she can drive me home since her car will be towing mine.
heh, I DJ on the side...that money is for the truck. The problem is now that I am older I am a pickey DJ. I do not do weddings, do not do parties where I might have to play music I do not like. So, about all I get to DJ is car shows which does not pay much, some friends parties which do not pay much, and some class reunions and halloween parties which pay decent. outside of that it is called buy the parts and when they show up hope like hell the wife does not open up the box to see the total cost or it is on. EDIT...actually she is great though. she knows how to operate the cherry picker and give me dirty looks at the same time. haha
I would suggest on the next one, you brake her-in the way your gonna runner! This also bring a story to mind: Driving down the road with my X talking about the day we were to get married. I told her any time after Sept 25th! She turned and looked at me and said what was so special about Sept 25th? (with a puzzeled look) Well i said that is the end of the racing season! She said: Are tyou marring me or your car??? I said: DONT MAKE ME MAKE THAT CHOICE! It was a quiet ride back home Now if i recall 4 months after Sept 25 th was a divorce party. I dont know i thought it was a good story
Some of you guys are such bitches. Best check your jock straps for over tightening. Hahahaha. WOW! Bet you ladies look swell in garters and heels.
