Not the first, but by far the most extensive. My 350z I modded before I met her. It's a curious balance - she's lavish in some ways (bought a new house and a new car at the same time) but very frugal in others. We've had to come to an understanding on a lot of points.

I can nickle and dime and the wifey won't say a word. Do one big purchase and she blows up unless it's for the house or on her. I'm still catching flak for the rifle scope.

That is the biggest thing right there. I am not perfect. I have messed up before. LOL I have got the hang of it now and know to talk first. To be honest, My car is just about done. I can stick with that also. My truck has been done for 9 yrs.

I plan for years, replan, go though a dark night of the soul wondering if I should even do x y or z build, save and then eventually a tsunami of pain ensues but over a briefer period. Rip it off quick like a band aid I say.

Same here. Wife is fine with whatever as long as we can afford it, finances aren’t separate or secret so communication is key. We’re both gear heads so as long as she gets to mod her Jeep and our (her) track car we good.

You know that shipment is coming here first. I'm to inspect everything in the boxes and remove all the bad parts. Then ship ship the empty boxes to you.

Oil Pan shipped to Mazworx, or weight could have been closer to mine
