Future Wife Advice

Budgets ARE for sissies....spend it ALL on racing.

Ok maybe leave some for beer. ;D ;D

You're just on a roll, aren't you!

 ;D

Just explain that "in your head" you planned an annual racing budget of x and you've only spent y for the last z years, where x times z minus y times z equals whatever you need for the new bike.  Then come up with an all-inclusive household budget (on paper) to avoid future problems.  I used to think budgets were for sissies, but ever since I made one out for myself I seem to have a lot more money.

Wow...algebra for racers.  ;D

i once had a girlfriend that got so pissed at for buying a new bike that she didn't speak to me for a week. and when she did the first thing she said was:
"how much did it cost?"  :(
"$8000.00" i said
"that would have made a nice ring!" >:( she said
"you'll never get an $8000.00 ring" was my reply
and thats the story of why she is my x-girlfriend. ;D

Valentine's day story:

12 years ago, on a really nice February day, Roger came home from work.I was really sad, because I'm know to drive aggressively and I had to break the news to Rog that I think I had totalled our beloved Rx7.

To his credit, he wasn't pissed, he just wanted to know whether anyone had been hurt, and if we were going to have to file an insurance claim. I assured him no one was hurt, and I told him to go see for himself.

So Roger goes down to the garage and hits the door opener. As the door creaks it's way up, Roger thought it was worse than I had explained, as there wasn't any sign of the backend of the Rx7. The door gets about half way up and it starts to dawn on him that there's no car in the garage at all, but a brand spanking shiny  new CBR 600 F2. Needless to say, that was his gift for the entire year.

He still commutes with the bike and it has over 50K on the odometer. Who needs diamonds? :-*

Only if that ring has 105 rwhp at less than 380lbs.

Wow - if a woman expected a thin piece of gold with a rock to be worth more than a new bike.........  oh wow. I could buy a couple nice magnesium "rings" to mount rubber on for $2,000.......

Spyderchick - I'll let you drive AND total my 79 Rx7 if you promise to buy me a new bike............;)

[spyderchick]

I never totalled the car.  ;D It was parked around the corner. I am a most excellent liar when I need to be.  ;)

We currently have an '84 Rx7, we have also had '79, '80' and '82 model years. Rotaries rock.
