The mod budget, need help

luvbelly · 12-23-2007, 05:06 PM

I have been TOLD that I have spent enough money on mods for my truck this year.(Is that possible?) The part of that I heard the loudest and clearest was "this year". So that would mean the dollar figure resets when we ring in the new year in about a week right? Come on fellas I need help here, I am gonna have my wife read the replies and try to use them as precedent.

Well if you want to listen to her, than she said this year. In one week you can start again. My wife doesn't try to put any thing on me, as long as we have grocery money I can do what I please. Hell I made most of it anyway.

You have the outside all dolled up. Exhaust...

I'd recommend a CAI first, then concentrate on the tunes. Get a tech box and subs, amps, and upgrade the sound system. From what I've heard around here, you can do a pretty kickass system for around $2000.00.

Good luck with the Mrs. Treat her well, and you will be rewarded.....

OH NO, I HADN'T EVEN CONCIDERED THE FISCAL YEAR THING, I'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO HOLD OUT THAT LONG.

AND THIS IS THE STUFF SITTING IN MY BACK ROOM WAITING FOR INSTALL. MY WHEELS AND TIRES SHOULD BE HERE IN A COUPLE DAYS. YOU CAN HEAR IT CAN'T YOU..."YOU HAVE ENOUGH CRAP LAYING AROUND HERE YOU HAVEN'T EVEN PUT ON YET, YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE". I WANT IT ALL AND I WANT IT NOW.

Wife and I both make a good living, and have a joint account for all bills.

we both put in 2 checks a month into the joint account that pays for ALL OUR bills, from the mortage down to our gas cards.

The other 2 checks we deposit into our individual accounts and never ask how much we have or what we will spend our money on.

Now don't get me wrong, I do spend money on her also

NO man can stay out of the Dog House for long if he spends 3k on his truck, then comes home with nothing for her

HAHA

YES i wear the pants!!! WTF

She is a Nurse Educator for Kaiser and I am an HVAC Foreman.
