Posted 10/08/09 08:34 AM Share Posted 10/08/09 08:34 AM I usually just buy stuff and hope I get to the mail box before she does. If I dont then I Just half the cost of everything.We have separate accounts and not yet married, she gives me sh*t and calls me a bogan, so I just give it back how much she spends on her horse. Have not yet started performance mods, so this thread will come in handy, as will my secret cash stash. Any money under $10note goes in at the end of the day.

Anyway, she married me and now strangely enough she doesn't say much about my spending. Weird huh?!With my Xr ute, well........ its a work expense and I do all the financials.

mattyb Donating Members 1,097 Member For: 16y 7m 11d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast, QLD Posted 04/10/09 09:36 AM Share Posted 04/10/09 09:36 AM New one to add to the list.Have been buttering her up since the first round of mods (4 months ago) so I could get a Process West Street Plenum Kit...Luke (Agent Orange) had a second hand one for sale, and I'd mentioned it to the missus only 20 minutes before my mates turned up at home. Anyhow, one of the boys just supercharged his Monaro, and after spending $17000 (NO sh*t!) was there when he payed for it.. he has changed the rockers, cams, clutch, tranny, exhaust headers, added a cooler, blah blah blah, and is only running 6 psi and turning out 450 to 500 rwhp.Anyhow, he was slagging off the turbo in front of the missus, and Bam!!! She lets blurt with, Matty is buying a new cooler and some more stuff for the car, and it's costing a lot less than $17000. BOOOOYAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!Now I'm getting a Street Plenum Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
