What was the toughest?

[Begood]

What was the toughest thing you ever had to explain to your wife that you spent a lot of money on?

While I am not married (at this time), I found out this weekend that had I been married 7 years ago I would have had a very hard time explaining why I spent $1000.00 on a bag of titanium bolts for my R1. I tried to tell her that it took about 25 pounds of weight off of the motorcycle, that didn't justify it. It seems no matter what I said, I would not have been able to make it acceptable to her. I sometimes wonder, had I been married when I did my R1 and my Aprilia, would I still be married?

So guys, what were some of the hardest ones you have ever tried to explain?

Do you really think some of us are not that smart and wouldn't be able to figure it out!!

Gotta be careful what you say to those intelligent woman ~ you may get in deeper than just coming clean for spending $1,000 for frickin' bolts!!!!!!

The $4000 charge from the Bunny Ranch was a little hard to explain, especially since I didn't have any rabbits with me when I came home. She wasn't very happy that I had somehow lost $4k worth of rabbits hehehehe.

Honestly though, I've never had that problem. I guess the biggest surprise was when I bought the new Road Glide a couple of years back. I don't think I mentioned that I was going to get it, just sort of showed up with it later that night. But I was smart enough to buy a passenger back rest too, so I didn't even catch any shit for that one hehe.

I purchased a new mountain bike at the beginning of the summer. I hadn't rode for a couple of years and wanted to get back into it in a big way so I bought a sweet ass Specialized Stumpjumper Expert! She knows that I usually like expensive stuff, and when she would ask how much it costed, I would just say things like "more than a thousand - don't ask questions that you don't want to know the answer to" and that was that. My manuals were out because I was looking at them in my office (where I stashed the receipt for the bike) and she found it and was not happy. $3,800 for a mountain bike! The bad thing is that it has rained so much and so frequently this summer here that I have only rode it once! She managed to remind me of that too. She was more shocked than anything else. I ride a road bike regularly so the bike thing was not a flash in the pan and at least she knows that. Here is a pic of the bike - it's sweet!:rock:

An RXT surprise!!! My wife was with me when I purchased mine!


With my current and forever wife, the most expensive thing I have bought and not told her about was the Stage II flash for my truck. She wasn't really mad about buying it, just that I didn't say anything first. Then she was cool with it! (She's the BEST!!)

I couldn't spend $100 with my ex-wife and not get in trouble....

I went to get my HEMI 4x4 Serviced and came home with a VIPER TRUCK!!!

I told her the fuel injection technology would make it better on gas than my hemi. Didnt go over well when she was in the truck twice the same week when the fuel light came on. $250 bucks in one week she knew i was lying.

Oh then after my 6th exhaust setup i bought xmetal mids which made it too loud then i had to redo my mufflers again.

I bought a $800 dollar remote control stunt airplane. And the first time i took it out she was with me. It flew 30 seconds, hit 85mph or so and crashed in the ground. Both engines rolled over 100 feet and ironicly landed on the ground between us

Went to a dealer to purchase chrome valve covers for my 05 Hemi, came home with the SRT 10. I still haven't heard the end of it.

Hot air balloon ride for my girl friend and her mother...

Wife was in graduate school in Atlanta, I was still in Florida...had a friend and her mother was hot too! Not sure that I have recovered from that yet, it happened in the mid 80's.

 

[SilvrSRT10]

My wife is pretty cool about my purchases. She's the one that said get the SRT-10. Just this morning she asked if I needed the money transferred for that sweet AR-15 that was for sale here. I told her it was gone and that I didn't act fast enough.

Here's a line no woman can argue with:
"It was on sale and I saved a bunch of money. I couldn't pass it up".

[ViperJeff]

You said if it came in a Quad Cab you would have said yes.......

 

[Silverback]

I'm lucky. I don't have to explain or justify anything.

We're not married, yet... but, we've had a joint bank account for years. We also have our own (sole) bank accounts. I (when I had money) come home with shit all the time.... Motorcycle, 46' plasma tv, watches, guns.... as long as it was paid for out of my own account, Sarah doesn't care.
