haha... how true it is..RE: not spending big dollars outright.

My wife would let me buy a nice older 4k or gt that I had been wanting
but one day when I found one for $500 she said it was ok.. fast forward
a couple thousand bucks =) and I still have a piece of junk.. But..
She's(the gt)going to be sweet with an MC conversion new wheels, recaro
seats,  5pt harness, new carpets, completely gone thru.. Funny how
she(the wife)doesn't ask about all these boxes of new parts that are
showing up UPS every other day.. hm..

see if she just woulda let me spend 1500 -> 2000 on a decent car it
woulda saved her in the long run..
