That would be the hardest mod to hide, unless she never rides with you.....

It's a lot easier to ask for forgivness, than ask for permission....I've gone through 5 sets of wheels in the last year, if I would have asked first, the answer would have been NO!

I have several customers who have cleverly gotten around this. When a large ticket item was required the one friend would buy his cohort in crime the merchandise and give it as a gift. When the significant other says, “what, you take that back”, he says “honey, that would be rude as it was a gift” The significant other not wanting to embarrass the best friends agrees to keep it, and is now obligated to return the favor.

Men, as dumb as we can be, these two thought that the wives have not caught on, at least they thought so.

Oh my god, I totally apologize about the navi system. You know what, when I was walking away from your car I was thinking about how you kind of acted funny when I was asking you that and I didnt catch on.

The whole intake thing doesnt even compete with 1600 dollars for a navi system. I walked away from it without any bloodshed but my predicament was over 85 dollars.


Hey sorry once again man, I had no idea.

Exactly. She immediately says to me "I cant believe you lied to me". I said "did you ever ask me if I have an intake, no! What happened the first time you asked me? I said yes, I have an intake. So technically I didnt lie, I just didnt tell you until you asked".

Its been cool now though. Ever since I got the car I have had to hide pretty much everything I did to it because she thought modding was a stupid hobby and we have other things we need to spend our money on. (Like what? Weddings, Houses, Dishes...Yeah right) But ever since the poker run, she has been all into it. It was like marriage counseling to benefit the man. So now I have told her about everything I have done to the car, and she doesnt care at all. She now wants to buy herself a tc.

So Calvin, I guess you can say that you just cut off my ball and chain. You may have actually done something for me that I thought no man could do. I think you fixed my girlfriend. So thanks man.
