Too funny!

Yep, I figure I could use the old, "what, naw I know we talked about it" line then remind her about the bathroom.
If that works cool it not, I will be in the kitchen remodeling business.

Thr wife pays the home equity line of credit bill. She would KILL me if I put 20K on it for the 650 upgrade.. Hence I asked her. LOL She will see the 5K i put on it.. she will be ok with that (I think - I didn't ask).

I know she was going to say no.. wanted to see if she would say "do what you want" or something similar, which translates into "YES". Wasn't getting that seal of approval from her. It made her happy I asked.. normally I don't ask.

When I told her I was trading the vette for the camaro, she rolled her eyes and said 'do what you want'. I came home with a new Trailblazer SS AND a Camaro order..

Are you a plumber by trade? LOL you are doing a bathroom already.. or is that getting subbed out?

She can't do a cheap room, like the living room, huh? You may need a tire budget once your car is done.

She said "I thought you were going to be happy with the 570"

My response - "Yeah, but all the other guys upgraded to the 650.."

She's not buying it.

her next question was "how much are you spending on that other stuff?"

the phone rang.. it was her mother.

Saved by the bell! Thank god for chatty mothers-in-laws.LOL

That is some great stuff , cant fault a guy for trying! This is why I love the sig windy uses. Remember: You can sleep in your car, but you can't drive your house!

FedEx ships cars? So you just ship your car to Ligenfelter, they do the work and then ship it back to you? How expensive is that?

I had my car built and "drop" shipped to the closest dealer - Courtesy Chevrolet in Decatur IN.
LPE will mod the car, and then it will be shipped to me.

from LPE (Decatur Indiana) to boston it's around 1,100.00 one way.

Depending on where your at Lingenfelter has a gent they work with who can pick your car up and deliver it to them via an enclosed trailer. Call Kevin to work out logistics.

The rest of the house was done two years ago, all thats left are the bathrooms and kitchen. I wish I was in the trade, all I get to do is pay the bills.
She actually told me "you work so hard, if it makes you happy go a head"
Of course her LTZ Suburban is less than 2 years old, the bathroom is guilt on my part. Or just good marrarige politics.
I figured out early on, a happy wife is a happy home.

Well... she was OK with the 13 K or so I dropped on the LPE570, and another 10K on all kinds of other parts I ordered.


Being married has it's advantages.. I would hate to raise my daughter without her... and the bed gets made, laundry,dishes, etc. Glad SHE doesn't ask for a raise too often.I out spend her by a longshot.

I drop 20K on a lawnmower 'cause I want to upgrade.. she clips coupons and saves $2.00. Gotta love it.

Dam.. Windycity, where's that BAT news you were talking about? We need a dyno run from LPE or something to stop discussing bathrooms and get back on CARS..

WOW, she's fast enough to run with horses! J/K, what pony in what race? How about a little insider info!
What's with the new pic?

LPE has to get out a couple of carmaros out for the SEMA show, so new info is hard to come by. HEE HEEE I would rather talk women or cars than bathrooms. Maybe a poll on how many mambers have their cars an LPE?

Well don't have all the juicy details yet but in addition to the 650 "Transformation" Lingenfelter is doing, and the RPM transmission work, oh, and the ADM (Andy) boost gauge, we are upgrading some other drive train components.
New (stronger) half shafts
New gear! Going to the 3:45. I believe that is what is in the stick model. It should add just enough extra "spring" without sacrificing drive ability.
I'll post more info tomorrow when Kevin gets back to me. He/They are very busy, short week ya know!
I need to find some small decals of a mustang silhouette with an X through it. Can paste one to the door after every kill!
