What did she say when u bought your car?

When I buy a car or an engine or whatever she says "I don't remember discussing that" and I'll say "I don't remember having to discuss that"

Everytime I buy something for the car, she says that that she's buying something for the house then. I remind her that I can sell the car if I need to, good luck selling her room addition!

 

I always seem to get the "it was your idea" a few days/weeks/months after the purchase. Buick looked great . . . great project . . . we can paint it, fix it up, put a stereo . .. blah blah . . . then it comes down to "that's not really what you want . . . don't spend money on it". *Sigh* Same thing on the new vertible . . . "I'd look good driving that" . . . now the tune is "you just bought it for yourself . . . it's your car" . . . . in less than a MONTH's timeframe. Oh well . . . we'll see how this project goes.

 

As long as I can cram all my junk in the garage and roll the door down so she doesn't have to look at it, she doesn't care much about what I bring home. It's sorta like how I don't comment on the 386 pairs of shoes she has, so long as she can cram them all in her closet!

 

well, the cars were here before any girl ever was and the cars will be here long after they leave. There are reasons my cars have girl names. I think if I ever get married it will be bigamy

 

"Does it have air conditioning?" "Does it get good gas mileage?" ...of course my answer is always no to both those questions...

 

I am single so i can buy all the toys i want!!!

 

at first she said she was really happy for me that I finally got another car to tinker on .., now she's developed a jealous streak and when I leave to work on the car, she tells anyone who will listen I'm going to spend time with my other woman. I wish I could get her interested in a ride of her own ... there's nothin ***ier than a woman with a torch.

 

my wife insisted that i buy my 1950 crestliner.
I had been looking for an old car for a couple years...every time i was ready to buy life had a habit of rearing its ugly head and putting my plans on hold. Spring of '05 I was ready to shop again...again life had other plans...my wife was diagnosed with a very rare eye cancer. While she was going through treatment we met a couple who had a few cl***ic cars and became friends...at the end of treatment we exchanged phone numbers. Maybe 4 weeks later I get a call..."You still looking? a friend of a friend has a 1950 ford for sale." I went to look at it and was impressed with the overall condition. When I showed my wife a pic she noticed the "eyeball" on the grill, took it as an omen and pretty much insisted that i buy it.
P.S. my wife has just had her 1 year post-radiation check up and is doing great! my plan is to keep both of them purring along nicely for as long as i can.

 

On the 49 Fleetline...

"Can that actually be fixed?"

 

Is that all you get for $8500!!!! One of the best days of my life when I came home with my 1st Hot Rod. It was a 31 Ford 5 window coupe, that was an old solid bodied hot rod from NY that ended up in CA. It had a chopped top and that is all that remained from the old car. The body was put on a new TCI ch***is, new rebuild and modified 350, new 350 trans. 9" Ford rear, chomed and dropped front axle, nice wheels and tires and almost all the parts to finish it. After collecting the rest of the parts I still did not finish it. I found a running complete car that looked some what like Wild Willy Borchs AA/23 T race car. Had to sell my WWII half track to fund it but when I came home my wife said "Out of all the cars for sale why did you pick this one?" Another bummer but she loves to ride in it and 24,500 miles later she wants to finish the coupe and invest in some other cars. 8 Flathead motors, many old trans. & numerous big block motors later she is a good sport about it all. I just have run out of room. Some day she can park her car in the garage I told her, but
I do not want to hold my breath on that one though!!!

 

She said... "It's about ****ing time you got a car!"

It'll be nice to have my man at car shows with me for a change...

I must say that my wife has never given me an ounce of grief over the hot rod or the amount of money spent on it. As we pulled into the guys driveway to go look at the car my wife took one look at it and said " oh your buying that!!!!". I can tell you in all honesty that she has put more miles on it this year than I have. She loves popping my two young daughters in there car seats and going for a ride. She is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am impressed with alot of the comments you guys are making about your wives, I would have thought this thread would have turned into a wife bashing.

 

She didn't say anything just scrounged up the money and smiled. She always has and probably always will.

Ok I gotta ask was she talkin' about the car or the *****?

 

When I decided to sell my 1965 Malibu SS convert. that I owned for 28 years:
"You just finished the restoration.Why do you want to sell it?"
After selling it, I bought a '40 Ford coupe. She said: " I like the yellow color but it doesn't ride as good as your Chevelle."
When I bought my 34 highboy: " It's too small,I can't see out of it. I won't ride in it very far..." Beautiful, I think, I finally found the perfect car....
Now I go with my buddies and she stays home and gardens....

 

"Cool, Daddy.....that truck rules." The only girl I have to answer to is my ten year old daughter.

 

I pulled up to my house the same time as the garbage truck did last week, my wife heard the truck and as I walked in she did even say hello..."What they hell did you buy now"...

Hi honey good to see you too!

 

She says "Now I have to wait until that one is done before you start on my '55 (g***er)?". She says I need a pole barn for all of the toys too.

 

I made my wife sign an add for a '56 xk140 fhc with a quote "Happy 40th Birthday" when I sold my brit bikes, my 50 chev and my 66 berg vw so that we could relocate and start on a family..... I told her to me that was as good as a contract "that I get something before I'm 40". That was when I was 26 and I carried that faded/torn add around in my wallet until I was 38 when I found the pontiac. When I got the Pontiac she made me sign on the bottom of that same add "paid in full". Now I come home with stuff and when she asks about it I say"these aren't for me they are for my dad's 32".... she just rolls her eyes and smiles.

After 10 years of marriage she has finally let me be.
