That's why I never tell my wife what I have spent on the car. All she knows is that it sounds louder. :ph34r:

Amen!
I did my exhaust, and she said "it sounds a little louder than last time" and never said another word. Then my brother in law (thanks, ass).. asks "whats that sucking sound in the front of it? Told him.. just changed the air filter (which really isn't a lie).. And when I want to lower it, I think I'll just be going with the SVT suspension, she probably won't notice a 3/4" drop vs. a 1.5".

they notice EVERYTHING.

Yeah, I was just thinking that. She does notice everything.
Maybe if I buy her something of equal or greater value, then I can get what I want. I don't think getting her a kit-kat and then buying, say, the Ford Racing suspension is gonna fly.

Ask, ask again a week before buying and ask again when buying.
It makes life so much more simple that way.

Good point! the intake & exhaust are um.. improving gas mileage, therefore freeing up more money for her to go buy clothes, shoes, and other crap girls buy. Best mod you can do that the other half won't ever notice -- reflash! Hide the happy little SCT box in the trunk, and all is right with the world.
