Bought another slick,wife thinks I'm pulling her leg

I try to explain the sickness,she's not buying it.
Tell her another piece of the puzzle,says I should put the puzzles I already have together before bringing home more ''orphans''.

But,but,but it's REALLY gonna be cool when all the pieces come together I tell her,,,she rolls her eyes.
I dont know,,is it just me?

My name is Larry,,I have a slick problem

LOL< larry as you well know it is not just you. We all suffer the same problem and it does not stop with Slicks. I came home one nite and told me wife I bought a tractor, she asked me why we needed a tractor and I told her I didnt say we needed one I said I bought one. She still does not understand, LOL. She looks at all the extra parts and the chop top setting in the garage ( where she could park in the Winter if it wasnt there ) and I think sometimes wonders why she married me...............Kid

Iceman has the answer to this problem, buy her a slick of her own. Problem solved, but you might not be as lucky as he is so don't park it near trees.

I bought my wife a 68 Convertible Mustang in mint condition. The only problem is she gets the garage and I have to work on the truck in the driveway. Last time I put the truck in the garage to work on I got a little bit of dust and such on her car and spent the next full day clay barring and waxing her stang.
But yes you must give her the same passion for a vehicle.

Yep mine ask me the other day if my project would ever run again...I just smiled and said Oh Yeah.
Then yesterday she was trying to explain to her mother why I was taking the motor out of one truck to put it in another....she said it was a guy thing....correctamundo.

you are among friends Larry

A couple winters ago, my wife went out to start her Expedition in -30 temps. As she walked past the garage, she heard the furnace kick in the garage and her blood started to boil. When I got home she proceded to scold me about why I was heating a room full of old truck parts and engine while my children enter a cold vehicle. When she asked me what I had to say for myself, I simply asked - Command Start broken?

You guys all think alike. In the mid 80's my husband brought home a beautiful Cougar convertible. When I questioned him about the car he simply said "honey I bought it for you, its your car." I had owned a 71 and a 72 Cougar convertible back in the day and he said he just wanted to renew my youth. I tried telling him he was digging himself in deeper the longer he talked. What I didn't tell him was that I liked the car too. I had to let him think I was mad for about a week. I knew what was up he saw the car and liked it and bought it, and to get on my good side he claimed it was for me. The one thing he didn't count on was me falling in love with it because it truly did remind me of my old 73 Cougar. So listen up guys, we all know what you are up to. We go along because we love you and we even love the cars you bring home sometimes.

Rose doesn't care if I have and fix up the Uni. She doesn't care for my Fox Chassis verts though - says they aren't comfortable (I find them more comfortable than the "built from jello" Le Baron vert she has). She doesn't like me having more than one project at a time, I can only work on 1 anyway (not enough garage). Wanting another Stang Vert - no $ for one right now though unless I can put it to work for awhile.

Dean,
good excuses are hard to come by so yes i suppose i could say that.

Brian Taylor · Post by **Brian Taylor** » November 2, 2009, 8:18 am

Michelle, yes I like the Mustang too. But I put it in her name and had her put personal plates onit that say "CHICLET". That makes it her to love and mine not to drive, I am only the mechanic and waxer.
The few times I have driven it I see people pull up and look very strangely at me. It's hers.

I'm blessed more than I can say. And the lovely Mrs. Ace is blessing numero uno. I have a rule that has served me well in nearly 25 years of marriage: She can have anything she wants as long as we can afford it. It may sound sappy, but making her happy is my "job one."

She, in turn makes me VERY happy. And while I won't say she understands my obsession with vehicles, she is very tolerant because she loves me - and she knows it's something that makes me happy. It's my only hobby after all.

She recently suggested that I buy a new truck and sell the '64. But that's a non-starter for me. And I told her: I may buy a new one, but I'm keeping the Slick!

Brian Taylor · Post by **Brian Taylor** » November 3, 2009, 12:21 pm

I called my wife yesterday and said I bought another truck. She called me from work 3 times really mad telling me this will not happen again with buying any good deal I find.
When she got home and found that the truck I bought was a 1966 Ford PU Wix model bank about 7 inches long she settled down. I love her but I must keep the passion, (For classic vehicles)

Sounds like you have one of Georgia Peaches, I am lucky enough to have one of them myself. I have had mine for thirty years, she tolerated my old car and truck fetishes over the years. But I must say I did not fully realize how lucky I was until after I was injured. It was only then that I realized how truly blessed I am.

Tell your wife, "It's slicks or going to the bars and picking up women!"

If you live through her reaction, she probably won't mind the trucks....
