How many of us can buy there wifes car parts as a birthday present and there happy ? I just bought mind a KN Air Filter and side bars for her jeep she was very happy !
I know one that loved getting parts for her wagon for Birthdays,Christmas and anniversary's for the past 9 years,,now that the Wagon is finished and on the road I'm going to have to start shopping for her again! HRP
I have purchased car parts for the wife for her B day before and she was happy, I always try to do somethng else as well. One year I got here a rare intake for a MoPar I was building for her I picked it up from an older friend. He asked me again when I picked it up what it was for and I told him that it was for her B-day. He called a florist on the spot, then told me where to go to pick up the flowers, handed me 25 bucks and said that I would still be 3 bucks short. Good friend.
My ol' lady ain't into cars... I just take her out and wine her and dine her... Well, you get the picture!..
My wife would be really happy if I could find the parts to rebuild her Vespa. At this rate it's a few birthdays off ...
I once bought a set of 7.00 x 15 off road tires for Valentines day! The girlfriend had a '61 Scout, and had wanted them for months...
I bought my wife an anvil and throatless shear a couple of years ago, she was way happier with that gift than even I could imagine. She was happy when I picked up a new Plasma Cutter a year or so ago. We looked at a used Miller 210 yesterday and she will use it more than me. Do I just live right or what?
I know a guy who bought a shift kit for his wifes car for her Birthday and she divorced his stupid ass a year later. Should have bought her purfume or something nice insted. Car parts? Really?
Hey Really!,,my wife loves old cars,,she doesn't care about fancy new cars and she has her dream car,,and as another poster said he is going to buy his wife a car cover,,I might just get her one for her birthday next week. HRP
Ned send me a list I have seen Vespa parts for sale reasonable over the years maybe I can help. I am not afraid to ship to you. I should say that it so hould be taken under advisement that my wife and I have been building cars and bikes together since our first date, we have been friends since before our daughter was born she is 40 this year. We were separated for over 20 years and she was still my best friend in all the world. It may not be advisable to a lot of fellas to get the missus car parts unless you have a backup plan.
i bought my wife a pair of front fenders for her birthday and a new fleetside bed for her truck as an anniversary gift. She's such a gear head!! Next thing, will be paint for Christmas
Some of you guys aren't going to believe this, but one Christmas, a long time ago, I bought my wife new blades for her mower. We were a bit pressed for cash and she'd worn the old ones out over the years. Yes, you read that right. She laughed and laughed and I got over the bruises in a few weeks (nah, just joking) - I got her something else as well, but the mower blades is true. I've scored much admiration from friends over the years on how I got away with that many people don't believe it until the love of my life confirms it. I know its only slightly related to the topic, but I'm just so proud of myself for that one, I figured I had to share. Hahaha.
Every time I need something BIG around the garage, I wait for Wifey's birthday. She's gotten Welders, Compressors, Pressure Washer, Generator, Drills, You name it. I love having her around. This year? Plasma cutter. LOL
I wish my wife could be happy with car parts. When I find a cool project the first thing out of her mouth is "does it run?" And great story, dad-bud.
bought my wife a 78 mustang 2 king cobra and a tig the next year this coming year a body spit is next so she can start the resto proper. im also building her a gasser for fun.
I'm one of those lucky guys who married a woman who grew up around cars. I try to throw in jewelry every now and then, but parts and accessories for her car always make her happy. Once, I bought her a shift knob for MY car. Best $8 I ever spent.
my wife is a car girl too,been married over 40 years.she accepts what it is,whatever that might be.but she really wants a 60 66 pu.so parts could be a big amount of presents.this year we both got paint and chrome for our 56 premiere;D
This one made me laugh. I was into cars before I met my wife and she is all for it. The only car part I've bought for her was a battery for her daily driver (before we were married). She was broke and the car was stuck at work in 12"+ of snow during a snow storm a couple of days before Christmas. In her eyes, at the time it was as good as diamonds.
