so i was talking with my wife...

... about how much it will cost to finish my car completely. i said that i could probably do it with $10k... maybe less. she laughed and said there is no way... and that she could buy a new car for that much. she was thinking more around $2k.

i about fell over when she said that. i then told her to get back into the kitchen and not to worry about how much i spend on my car.

I was thinking the same thing..

Talking to women about cars or money is in 99% a bad idea anyways, let alone about cars and money combined!

ok ok ok

we were watching auction hunters and they sold something for nearly $10k... she asked if i wouldve sold the item or kept it (it was a remote control jet). i told her i would sell it and use the money on the 7.

thats how the conversation started.

no project car will ever be "done". there will always be something you need/want or some problem that crops up that you have to deal with.

a steady few hundred a month seems to be key. enough to keep your car moving along but no so much that suspicion arises.

Lol... I just had a similar discussion with my wife. We went to the shop to drop off some stuff for the car and she asked me how much more money will it take to finish the car. lol

I looked at her and asked... Are you asking me how much till it is where I would consider the project finished? or how much till we can start driving it and enjoying it again?

She just gave me this blank stare....

I told here, just time until we can enjoy it because everything is pretty much paid for.... a couple hundred dollars maybe..... till its finished....um I dunno $10-20k or so....

LOL her mouth dropped!!
