Do you ever get the look?

My wife never really complains or gives the look but I do get the "you spend too much money on cars" routine every so often. I solved the problem by having the kitchen remodeled. If the kitchen is right, everything else just falls into place. By the way, my wife is a keeper and supports what I do in my hobby. She was right about the kitchen. Dan
 
My Dog gives me the look when she is hungry,other than that no problems.She is happy when I bring strange girls home,always glad to meet someone new,happy to go for a ride no matter if it's only to look at a car or walk around a Wrecking yard,never needs to go visit her parents,She wears the same necklace I bought her a few years ago,Lays around the Shop happy to be here.I got a keeper.

My wife plays a little game when I drag some rusty orphan home. She goes into silent sulk, predecessor to "the look", and God forbid, "the talk." Having bought something I can't afford, I compound the problem by spending an equal/greater amount of money on something she wants. This has gone on so many times I now do a pre-emptive strike. I traded a jonboat for a pretty sweet 39 tudor last year. (Whoo Hoo!!) Knowing what was coming with expenses on the 39, I promptly put in new kitchen countertops, appliances she wanted, fixtures, sink, floors, and carpetting. I effectively built a bank I can draw against. Now there is a treaty of peace in the house. But if she ever sees the bill on my new flathead, I guess someone is going to get a new bathroom next.
 
I am sure that I am one of the lucky ones... We got married over 50 years ago, and she bought US a roadster pickup for our wedding present to ourselves. It's been a great time, ever since.
 
I would get the “LOOK” then I got the papers……lookin back it was the best thing that ever happened.
Now I have a cool younger girl friend thats crazy for old car stuff in fact the more the better.
She actually gets aroused from looking at The Rodder Journal. :D

Now that's cool, you're very lucky!

I guess I am too.

We've been married 37 years and have owned my '56 Vicky for over 40. I've not gotten 'the look' from either of them yet :D
 
I got `The Look' many times. Women are strange. They think food, shelter and clothing are more important than old cars. Hard to understand their thinking...;)

You get the look cause you don't pay enough attention to them, then when you eat 2 dozen oysters they don't want attention.
I get grief all of the time. My truck is in the garage. If your truck was not in the garage my car would be cleaner.
Huh! How does that affect the interior as that's the worst bit? Just drive your appliance dear, when it dissolves I'll get you a new one.
