I just don't understand having to hide everything you buy for the car.... I tell me wife whatever I get, especially if it costs a good chunk of change... lying to her would just make things worse. But I am lucky because my wife is cool with anything. i just don't get the sneaky around to do everything.

Im sitting here laughing my ass off but I had to search Google to find out what a Pulley is! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulley
Although yesterday I decided to buy some Gucci clothes instead of buying more mods for the car.

Calton, thats some funny shite! It cracks me up cause I'm totally with you, and Im sure were not the only ones. I had Franky's exhaust in my trunk for like over a month before I got around to installing it. Now, after we bought our house she's more cool with my mods, but she keeps asking me what mods do you plan next? Im like... uhhhh... I like my car the way it is for now, thinking to myself,..splitter, spoiler, diffuser, new wheels....
