My wife is going to shoot me!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

teeitup · 06-22-2004, 07:00 PM

Well I just traded for a 69 chev 1/2 ton 4x4 4 speed, no rust but alot of dents, I don't know if I'm going to fix it up, or just drive it or sell it yet. I'll have to check it out when I finally get it. Also bought another 72 1/2 2wd with no motor or tranny. I'm also looking at a 70 blazer in Colorado that the body work has all been done already, needs paint, new motor, rebuilt undercarriage, don't know about it yet, waiting on my body man to get my blazer in for the last 2 weeks. Wife is gone for the week so I'll be in deep poop when she gets home.

Dude you are an addict.....................................

Awesome.

from_the_edge · 06-22-2004, 07:08 PM

Hey teeitup I see you were trying for the same pix on ebay. That guy does some nice work.

69 air cab · 06-22-2004, 07:39 PM

Randy, I've been shot once.........take it in the left arm and it doesn't hurt as bad.............take it in the gut and you won't have to see those trucks............the estate sale will handle it for you. Tell her someone gave them to you and act real proud of them.............she'll cool down..........or put them on the back 40 and when she sees them just say..........."Dang....how did they get there"

Pilgrim · 06-22-2004, 07:45 PM

What information do you need to put me in your will for the 70 blazer?

buckola · 06-22-2004, 07:46 PM

It's easier to ask for forgivness than it is for permission

krue · 06-22-2004, 07:46 PM

Good luck, maybe you should start wearing undershirts made of kevlar!

**Stocker** · 06-22-2004, 07:51 PM

Hey, no problem - just explain to her that not only are you making a bit of money at your hobby (when you sell something), but it also keeps you home most of the time, as opposed to in the bar and getting into trouble!

68C15 · 06-22-2004, 08:28 PM

I have an idea. tell her you accidently parked the other ones too close & they must have bred while you were not looking.

if that doesnt work you could always bolt a couple beds together for a large dog house

I wish I had your problem.

Depends on how many he has used up already!

You don't want to know how I know these things

Blue Beard · 06-22-2004, 08:56 PM

Know how you feel, just placed ads for four units in the trader...

silvertonguedevil · 06-23-2004, 12:51 AM

Just say, "What? Those? Those have always been there!"

mrein3 · 06-23-2004, 07:26 AM

Simple. Use the 48 hour rule. If she doesn't see it for 48 hours you can simply say,
"That old thing. I've had that for a long time."

Custom 68 · 06-23-2004, 08:55 AM

Randy as many as you have around there I bet she wont even notice

HOTFUN · 06-23-2004, 08:57 AM

She'll learn not to leave you home alone! I had a dog like that, she was fine when you were around but leave her alone for a weekend and she got in all kinds of trouble.... hmm I guess my kids were the same way too! Good luck.

TsgtE662 · 06-23-2004, 02:25 PM

Before she gets home you might want a put a pillow and blanket in whichever one would be the most comfortable to sleep in.

rambler · 06-23-2004, 03:20 PM

Randy,, where do you find all those?????

**BOSS** · 06-23-2004, 07:28 PM

Randy,something tells me that she probably knows you enough the expect something when she gets back anyway,she knows your an addict....lol

teeitup · 06-23-2004, 10:10 PM

Thanks for all the ideas guys!!!

She read my emails today and seen what I bought, she didn't say much about the 2 trucks BUT the blazer she ASKED ALOT of ????'s about

. Oh well I'll work on her a bit.

Fred T · 06-24-2004, 03:22 AM

Tell her that since you don't make enough money at the golf course that you need a way to make more money. You figure it's either dealing in trucks or becoming a Chippendale dancer. By the time she finishes laughing, you just might have a chance.
