Thats why im not married.
My money is my money. If I want to do something I do it. I keep the girlfriend happy dont get me wrong. But I wont even let her get the slightest hope that she has a say in what I do with my money....once you open that door it will never close. Here is another hint...you sound like me with not leaving things alone. The cam will not be the end of it. Do heads now and save yourself the re-tune and taking it apart again. Or go with a blower cam so you can do a supercharger later. Good luck man. |

We are about to side our garage this year too and then maybe do the house the following year. Siding is really easy to install on a house. If you can put a cam in on your camaro, then you should have no problem installing siding and it will be much cheaper than hiring someone else to do it.

Oh this was me a few years ago when I was still stacking up credit card debt. I would spend between $4k and $6k modding cars using credit cards and then I'd sell the cars and not get enough out of them to pay back the cards. My girlfriend at the time thought I was out of my mind but oh well.
I think this is why I have been milking it on modding my current Camaro, I actually have to spend my money now. (no more credit cards available) |

You are a fool,,, listen to your wife and come to agreements and your marriage and family will last for long years to come.
Not saying that once in a while you won't have to tell your wife to get over it
