I don't care what you paid for it.

I want to know what they cost you (so the wife unit didn't make you sleep in the garage)....

For example, mine cost me a new countertop

To date mine's cost more than I care to tally up. When it comes to restorations ignorance really is bliss!
 
Well - Binx scored big

Green50 is probably close to the middle of the pack with me.

Don't want the dollar figures, just the quid pro quo extracted from you
 
Horses... lots and lots of horses. Eleven at last count and I think maybe one more on the way. I don't ask her what they cost - she doesn't ask me what my cars cost. Kind of a "mutual understanding".
It doesn't matter though...she's worth the world.
 
Okay, $30K garage to house my toy and probably endless restoration of our old Cape Cod house. quid pro quo is probably fair.

Too date F1+all the parts ive picked up since Nov, got less then $600.00 total in all, but gave up the ex girlfriend (she didnt like old trucks) but it worked out great since i have girls knocking on my door begging me too take them for rides.. So im on the up and up ;) haha
 
New Years Day 1983 I made a resolution to learn to fly an airplane, a lifelong dream. Later that year I bought my first airplane, a 1961 Cessna 150, a two seater for $4800. My 17 year old son was thrilled, my wife was furious. I had just bought a new 1983 Ford Ranger Pickup. To keep the peace I traded my new pickup for her a new 1983 Thunderbird Turbo. There was once again peace at the Reynolds Homestead.

However there has been only one issue with my old car sickness. I sold a beautifully restored 1934 Plymouth PE Coupe to buy my `35 Ford Cabriolet, not running, parts missing and ugly paint. When my son and I dragged it home my wife was once again furious. But now she likes the old Ford, we can get out and run highway speeds and is far more enjoyable than the Plymouth....



I sold this to buy..​

A new 2007 Infiniti G35X. That was when I bought the pickup. She fell in love with the 53 Courier on the trip back to NH from the 2012 Florida Barners Bash. We turned that trip into a leisurely road adventure.

My wife always write the check when we buy a car. This way she doesn't have a leg to stand on. I never buy a car behind her back. But I think I have reach the end. She says there no more room for another car. She just the other day she bought me a tombstone? I wonder what she got on her mind?:confused:
