Jewelry. Lots of it. Works every time.

 

I sold my Lightning and bought myself a new Cobra... It only cost me a new Jaguar for my wife...Guess I really showed her huh...:o

 

This is the way I did it. Tell her its your dream vehicle. Its the only truck you have ever wanted. Tell her it will be a "FAMILY" vehicle. We need a family vehicle like this cause you can go to HOME DEPOT and throw 20 bags of mulch in it. Then trade her something for it like JEWLERY!!!!! It might take some good LOVIN for a few days but she will eventually give in!! It work for me!!!! Oh and tell her you would never mod it cause its fast enough, that worked till my first mod.......chip filter, pulley....etc. Now shes mad a me but its too late to take it back!!!!!!!

 

Hey not bad. At least you have a nice Jag to drive when the wifey isn't using it. Beats the heck out of an expensive diamond ring that only she can use. Sounds like a wise choice.

 

The wife is getting something she wants at the end of the year when it comes out. BTW, I will be heading to Iraq to make the big money for that purchase. I don't think I'm asking too much.

 

You a oilfield man?

 

Do you think crying will work? She would probably try that if she wanted it. Cry-Cry-Cry and act like your dog ran away or something.

No, I work for Northrop Grumman Mission systems. We work hand in hand with the military. Really boring stuff. Can't say too much about it.

 

It didn't take much to convince my wife. We test-drove a Thunderbird and then test-drove a Lightning. There was no contest: we bought the Lightning!

 

I guess Blulightning had no reply after his request for me to post it. This guy has more stories than Dunkin has donuts.

 

I bought my 2003 on Valentines Day/ Our 5th Anniversary. Needless to say, after spending 6 hours at the dealership, and bringing home a 33K truck that I didn't tell her I was getting. She wasn't in the best of moods. LOL She is fine with it now, and she is going out Monday to trade in her 2001 Focus for a new car. I pay for my stuff, she pays for hers so we are just going to leave it that way. LOL

 

You hit the nail right on the head. That is the way a REAL man acts.

I wanted to trade the wife's 92 Benz on a Lexus for her. She said it wasn't really necessary, but I told her I wanted her in the safest car possible. She got the Lexus.

By the same token, If I wanted to trade my 03 XLT for a lightning, I would ask her first, thing is, I am very happy with the f150. I'm sure if I wanted one, I would get it, but only with her concurance.
