Default I'm quiting THE fORUM

My wife says that the 50,000 was just an initiation fee for spending alot of money on car crap. I just ordered a Magnaflow 15884 system from John at Hottexhaust as a result of recent postings here (thanks). I haven't told her yet but like all the other "crap", I blame it on you guys. I'll post pix and clip when installed, end of next week I hope (before I quit!)

I can't speak for your women but most spend lots of money on cloths, shoes and makeup, just tell her that the car and beer is a guys (cloths and makeup), she'll most certainly understand then!

Go to OT and you'll be in trouble for just posting then.

The right answer is to simply use self control and stop buying. Even the stock corvette has plenty enough already on it.

Like I've mentioned before, my wife thinks that I "know a guy" who gets me a great deal on car goodies. But if she ever finds that manila envelope with the receipts....I'm a dead man!

same here. my wife does not even know what i paid for the car. one day she came to pick me up at a dealer where she saw a similar car and was shocked to see 64k sticker. I told her "i did much much much better than that honey" and that "only a fool would pay that much"

I'd quit this forum too if my wife spent less money.
I'd be rich enough to be on the Ferrari forum!

Mine says something similar, except I made the mistake of telling her I was considering ordering the 15884 system. Funny thing is, I was reluctant to spend the $$$ on a new C6 and she had to talk me into ordering the car for myself. Now, she gives me the when I talk about buying extra goodies that I heard about on the Forum. I definitely blame it on you guys.

No no, The forum will save you money with sound advice for maintainance and care for your Corvette. And even safety issues too.
Too valuable an information source to ignore.

Maybe she thinks that you're being a little greedy. You might need to chill a little. Just be happy that you have the C6 for right now.

My wife says it's just a car and thinks I'm crazy. I might be crazy but it's not just a car. It's an MN6 Z51 Mag Red Corvette. Everyone know's that's not just a car.
