wow,
i thought i was the only one catching h*ll over my chrome plated woman
. to be honest i have used all the above, i have purchased parts and had them sent to my brother, i have purchased and not said a word, and i have told her what i want and where to get it. women are women and that's it, live by the golden rule
"it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission"
they always get over it

My cure for Mod Money was last friday nite when I took my wife out for a ride. She works way too many hours and needed some relief. When we hit the highway and she looked at the HUD and said to me...."cant we go any faster". I replied gladly.
I had installed my Halltech that day. She thinks there is a limit she can put on my modding. Not likely!!!!!!!!
Cure: Dont tell....she wont ask. Have it delivered when she aint around!!!!!!

I really feel sorry for all of you guys that are so PW'd....... 
But I do agree that women can get upset over the simple things. Like I went to Blockbuster to rent a movie; "Scent of a Woman" I could'nt find it so I got one that I thought would be similar; "A Fish Called Wanda". I'm the boss at my house, when I get pissed off I get up and get my own damned beer!

My wife is spending major money fixing up the house. So the other day she told me to get a supercharger for the Vette. I almost fell off the couch.

I can't believe those having so much trouble with this. Coming up with schemes like "repairs" and/or swapping off jewelry for mods.
C'mon guys. Stand up for your rights and your car!! Look her in the eye and just tell her the TRUTH!!!
"Honey, these are all safety upgrades mandated by the Federal Department of Corvettes and we're required to put them on the car."
CHHHEEEEZZZZZ!!!
