My wife doesn't care what I buy or what I do in the garage. If yours does, you're doing it wrong.

 

[cofooter]

Exactly, garage off limits, problem solved.

My kids loved that show.

My wife took over the checkbook before we got married. It’s not always the easiest but I spend like a drunken sailor (No offense to @DrunkenSailor).
That being said, back in the auto/boat/rv trader days I’d come home with one and she’d say “we’re not getting a boat/rv and you don’t need a new car”. Hell, we were going to name our last boat “so naut”.
I pick shit out and she gives me a budget. It’s worked out so far. Hell, it was her idea to get the current ride. I couldn’t pull the trigger.

 

[Mandelon]

Bought three boats and a 62 Nova without telling her. She just rolls her eyes at me now anyway.

I keep looking at M1078 LMTV trucks..... lord help me.

 

[ltbaney1]

mine does not care what i buy or come home with as long as bills are paid. she has walked into the garage a bunch of times and just asks whats that, i say a new project and thats it. nice and easy.

 

[jet496]

My wife always walks out when I'm tipping them back heavily & catches me swigging from the stashed Jack Daniels I'd keep hidden in with the spray paint cans. She times it perfectly.

 

[was thatguy]

Debbie and I were a bad combo like that.
She ALWAYS told me to get what I wanted and only gave me shit if I tried to skimp on cost.
I’d show her what I “needed” for like engine parts or boat parts and she’d be like “is that the best one available?” I’d be like “well it’s good enough for this or that”...that’s when I’d get the look. She’d say “if it ain’t the best part you can buy you’ll be buying it twice.”
Loved that about her!!
She never once cared what I spent as long as it made me happy.

Same here. Nor does she have any control of any finances except her allowance. Thats not how we roll here. Old school

 

[Riverbottom]

My wife says that a house is simply a life support system for the garage. That is why I married her !

 

[Go-Fly]

My shop build is the cheapest thing I've done in the last five years.

 

[monkeyswrench]

After years of marriage, my wife sees that the shop both keeps me sane, and brings in some money. She thinks the cars are rusty piles...and she is right. Those piles are someone's dreams, and I try to help...

...it also keeps me out of the house...maybe that's why she approves

 

[wettrthebettr]

What I have and do in my Garage is my business, She got a new car. Works for me.

 

[poncho]

When I told my Wife that I bought another boat this spring I said to her "your going to be mad" she says why?...I bought another boat (that's 4) . She replied I'm not mad I know you aren't impulsive and I'm sure you got a really good deal.
She then goes on to say I thought you wanted to build a Cobra.....Funny you should mention that because while I was there and the guy was showing me his car collection he showed me one and said I want you to have it.
I struck a deal to buy it when I'm ready.

 

[blefever]

My wife helps me in the garage no matter what we're working on. It started in 1967 in High School with her cleaning parts as I fixed my '60 Ford 406 Starliner. Race Friday nights and fix stuff Saturday and Sunday. Big part of why we're still together. Now it's boats, dragsters and buggies. lol

 

[RitcheyRch]

Ditto that

We're gonna need some proof.

I’m the poor guy that asks for forgiveness instead of permission.

None taken that's kinda the point of the screen name lol.

 

[Dan Lorenze]

As long as she doesn't know about the tool box money stash...

 

[ridebig]

Always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. It’s worked for 30 years

 

[Gelcoater]

One day my wife found a tanning bed for a great deal of pick it up and take it home.
She has some occasional outbreaks of psoriasis. The dermatologist prescribes light treatments. So when she found the bed it’s like a free life time prescription, lol.

But there’s no place for it in the house.
Except....
The garage.

I was far less than happy with it!

That is
Until she came walking out into the garage naked.

 

[GRADS]

I don't know about you guys but these days if either one of us buys anything over $20 we usually ask permission from each other....there was a time when she would come home and I'd say "walk out to the garage"...and there'd be a $100K car sitting there. Those days have sailed.

 

[Havalife]

I Built My garage 10 years ago, the wife does not know I keyed it the same as the house key... She asked me a few years ago how can she get in?? I never told her its the same key.

 

[spectras only]

I have a house because it came with a garage, but had some friends with garage twice the size of their house.

 

[JUSTWANNARACE]

The ol lady and I working on her '77 K5 setting rockers after rebuilding heads. (Black one)

Her daily driver '89 K5 we just put a new distributor in this last weekend. (White one)

Not a bad relationship.. but the garage isn't a good hiding spot...lol

Same goes for the kitchen, she loves to cook and try new things. I dont meddle in her kitchen business and she leaves me alone in the garage.

As we are looking at toons I asked her if we should get a fishing toon. She no you should also look for a bass boat and put in a 2 slip covered dock.

 

[Go-Fly]

My shop build is the cheapest thing I've done in the last five years.

I did however pile the insulation in front of the crate the new lathe is in. It didn't work.

 

[dave29]

Which garage?

 

[Ziggy]

She usually is moving clothes from washer to dryer.

Nice - she got any sisters?

The wife and I have a separation of labor, I do the mechanical, vehicles/ toys.

She works on the house, and I dont mean doing dishes.

[coolchange]

The other night we were watching YouTube together, watching some guys with Alaskan Mills slab up some trees.
She said "I bet that smells good. Next time you're in the garage cutting wood let me know."
I said I've got some wood that needs cutting right now.

 

[TPC]

Bought three boats and a 62 Nova without telling her. She just rolls her eyes at me now anyway.

I keep looking at M1078 LMTV trucks..... lord help me.

Love those trucks. Kinda vehicle you'd see parked at Ziggys campsite.

 

[PaPaG]

My line is: Guess what I bought? she laughs and says what this time? she knows I buy what ever I want when ever I want and I rarely tell her til I bought it til its time to pick it up, or if I do tell her she says when are we driving or flying there to pick it up, I got a keeper....

 

[Tpltrbl303]

I told her that I'd been to Macy's and it was a free gift with purchase. I couldn't pass up a good deal like that.

...and then i ducked

In the design of our RV garage i have a door bell like a convince store when the wife crosses the light beam. That way I can stop the fun that I am having before she realizes what is going on. LOL

 

[TexasJet]

While you are in the garage you are not in a bar or strip club. Some wives have figured this out.

Nah he just found the right Chick. It's amazing how easy a Relationship can be with a Chick by your side that's just as fucked up as you are. When it comes to Marriage, 2 Wrongs DO make a Right.

Yup Thankfully GREAT ones that is for sure, and an even better one when I found her.

Some garage humor:

 

[warpt71]

My latest boat purchase was encouraged by my wife. See thread https://www.riverdavesplace.com/for...runner-bottom-flat-loose.209075/#post-3561476 She knew I had got passed up on a very similar boat about 5 years ago cause i drug my feet making the decision and she didnt want that to happen again. She knows my dreams about boats and the happiness they bring me, now car projects, haha, thats another story!!!!!

 

[Shlbyntro]

My ex of 10 years ago just sent me a link to the Bullitt Mustang sale lol, she never could get over being 2nd priority!

I think I need a bigger garage

 

[blefever]

We're gonna need some proof.

Sorry, best I can do right now. If were working on stuff I'm not taking pictures. lol This is her driving our Old Conquest Enforcer at Tahoe a few years back. She can back a trailer too.
