Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
If the wife only knew how much money I drop on this truck she would $hit a brick. Just ordered the extreme drop front member, ther control arms, and a complete drop kit for the rear. Not sure how I'm going to pull this one off lol.
Anyone else going to find their way into the dog house?

Sounds like a great response. I am very fortunate to have a wife who encourages me to spend and get what I need.

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
The only money I put into my truck is what I make from buying and selling or side jobs so the wife doesn't care. Although she would rather have a hot tub I would rather have new bumpers.

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
"She Money" - What She don't know won't hurt her!
I don't hide money, it's a marriage...trust...respect all that but if I have cash I don't answer questions about where it goes, mostly because it's assumed that it would be truck parts. My wife does razz me all the time because I do things like wear holes through the soles of my shoes because I'd rather have parts. She says my trucks are dressed better because I have my priorities backwards! It's about compromise. Regular trips to get her hair, nails, and a housekeeper 2x per month gets alot of mileage.

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
My wife is completely onboard with what I spend on my truck and her Chevelle or the other toys .She is the one that suggested for me to buy a tilt column for my truck and then asked what else I wanted for it .My wife is all about car and truck toys though ,she loves them as much as I do if not more .

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
I'm a fan of the "traded for it"response as well. I don't tell her unless she asks which is pretty much never!

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
My wife is an accountant, there is NO hiding money stuff from her. I don't need to really, though, she's on board with my hobby and figures the alternatives could be worse.

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
My first truck was a 65' Chevy Truck when I was 18 yo and I'd always dreamed of building another...I loved that truck! The woman I was married to for 20 years wouldn't allow me to spend money on toys. Once I brought home a 66' with the dreams of my 65'. I was so excited! She made me part with it after 2 months of nagging and griping. So I sold it and a few months later, I got rid of the wifey, got me 65' and an awesome girlfriend who is supportive and involved in every aspect of my build. Life is great!

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
What Truck?? That old thing, I'm gonna get it running one of these days. In the meantime I accumulate parts. Good thing is she doesn't answer the door for the ups guy. He just leaves them on the steps and they never make it into the house.

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
I buy my lady everything she wants! So when it comes time for a thousand dollar order for any of my cars and she wants to say something, all I have to ask her is where she got that Jimmy Choo bag...
Done deal. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Do you hide how much your spend on your truck?
I don't hide anything, I actually have a detailed list of costs thats she's seen. She's also a banker so she can get her eyes on my accounts lol.
But car or not....always keep some cash your old lady doesn't know about....thats just man code.
