So the other day, Liz casually asks me "hey, so how much have you (distinct emphasis on -you-) spent on that 914 anyway?"

(The daily visits from UPS and the large trailer showing up in the driveway must've been a tip off).

To make a long story short, I guess we're redecorating the upstairs Paint, floors, cabinets, bed linens, etc.

I shoulda figured it would catch up with me sometime. I must say, I would rather put money into the house than lots of other things/places these days.

Could be worse, she could have wanted 1/2 with you gone. Been there done that.

C'mon Chris, you didn't know that freight train was comin'?
Start keeping a journal of everything that is done to your car. BURN the receipts. Both you and your wife will sleep much better.

I didnt realize your kid was talking already....

"Mom, daddy puts all NEW parts in the orange car"

YOU ARE SO BUSTED ! ! !



cheers,

My problem is time. The wife keeps asking me when I'll be able to go do stuff instead of working on the car. All I have to do is ask her if she has a couple of extra grand so I can pay someone else to do the work I'm doing. The entire thing ends right there.

Let's see....in the last 4 years.....hardwood floors, patios covers in the front AND rear, solid core doors up stairs, paint and hardware, HUGE retaining wall....NOW she wants another bathroom upstairs......all this done before the 356 project.

I opened up the books and SHOWED her that MY net expenses are negative on the 356....buy low sell high....she still bitches about the parts.....

Books?

You keep a papertrail? Geez, I thought you were smarter than that. ;-)

game over :gilloutine:

Glad to hear I'm not alone.

I pay all of the bills and file all of the receipts away from sight. So she doesn't know the exact "magnitude" of these projects over the last few years, but I'm sure she has a guesstimate.

We went to Home Depot twice last weekend...I'm doomed...

you should get her to check out this msg board. then you'll really get busted. hahaha

You got off easy! My wife is building a 5,000 sq foot house in the most expensive neighborhood in town to compensate for all my 914 spending!

But at least I'll have my OWN garage for my cars and a workshop. She has her own side for her Suburban, and all her Christmas decorations (four trees worth!).

Regards,

Hey Karl where are you building the house?

Lake Nona.

Well, I figure that if I get to spend as much on my toys as I've spent remodling the house, I reckon I could go pick up a clean 73 911 R/S. . .

If I spent as much money as my wife has on collecting crap over the years(beanie babies, artwork, art glass, scrap booking stuff, shall I go on?), I coulda bought that 916 for sale!

Oh well, at least they let us play with our toys!

Regards,

OT ...but, is that the new tshirt logo? looks sweet (grinning ear to ear)
