SO!!! Who's wife does something like this????
 
So,
At home with the wife. Talking about dinner and whatnot. Not a special day, nothing crazy going on.


Door Rings.
Package is at the door.
Package has a BEAUTIFUL emblem




CUSCO.


Totally not expected. She didn't do anything wrong at all.....(at least that I know of)


Any other wives out there decide to surprise their man with something that they have absolutely no interest in, just to see their man smile? I was totally shocked.

Love you guys.

yeah,

I just ordered a gen3 night vision for my husband for airsoft.

only difference is he's been talking about it non stop. But he still doesn't know its on its way.

cost 1k more than the wheels I want.

Kimsey47 01-24-2014 05:25 PM

My wife got me new pans... I don't cook.

thill 01-24-2014 05:26 PM

My wife just lets me buy my toys and usually does not say anything. I do the same for her. I am on my third car now in 18 months though... She finally told me to stop buying cars for a couple of years until the new one is paid off.

I agreed, I know when I have pushed her to the limit..

FloridaBRZ 01-24-2014 05:27 PM

hey! First time talking to you. So sorry to hear about your loss with your car. Glad to hear that you are okay. Followed your build the whole time. But like I said, glad nobody was hurt.

thanks! yeah that sucked but I'm still kickin.

I'm already planning out the next build. It's probably why I'm buying him something expensive that I really don't want to. (I'm gonna be spending more)

Don't know about other wives but thats kind of a trend I have seen, one for you 3 FOR ME..lol

2013 Hyundai Genesis Coupe. Kept that for about 12 months and sold if for a 2013 BRZ. Kept that for 6 months and sold it for a 2014 WRX hatch. The WRX was due to practicality reasons (loved the BRZ).

I won't even test drive another car for 24 months until this WRX is paid off :)

Ammonia 01-24-2014 05:54 PM

My wife hasn't bought me car parts, mostly because she's afraid of buying the wrong item.

She got me a PS4 for Christmas, so I guess thats something lol

How does the hanlding compare btwn the wrx and the brz? Do you miss the brz at all?

FloridaBRZ 01-24-2014 06:43 PM

yeah, its nice. I got a xbox one for my birthday (Dec 22), just in case anyone wants to send me anything, but she has an EVO. And she can drive a stick. is that +1 or +2? She has also ranked 3rd in south florida in the last 3 drift events. Yes, she can drive better than me.

You, my friend, have a keeper.

dbrandt01 01-24-2014 07:51 PM

Sadly no, I don't have, nor have I ever had a girlfriend. Though, reading this thread, I hope to find someone that supports and loves these cars as much as I do. Though, I don't know if I'll customize this car much. I did that with my truck and I ended up spending about $9,000 in mods on that truck and wish I hadn't.

Where do I find airsoft matches? Have a few airsoft guns but only used them to shoot co-workers so far...

ftc~brz 01-24-2014 08:15 PM

@pche
if you have a fb page you can find SOG -MD Airsoft & Milsim
to help you break into playing fair (assuming co workers aren't fighting back lol)

It's not too far from the pa line

Yes, I miss the BRZ. If you don't mind reading my comparison (warning it is long):

I'm so thankful that my wife let me buy a BRZ.

She hated it.

Thanks! They do fight back, we have wars inside the shop when we don't have cars to work on lol, don't tell my boss that.

BlueDubbinTDI 01-24-2014 09:04 PM

My fiancé has been there fucked that up. I just get what I want after enough nagging now.

ericmpena 01-24-2014 09:05 PM

My gf is scared to buy me the wrong things for my car, so she just tells me to buy something I want and she'll pay for it. Not a bad deal! Of course I keep it around $100 if she's buying. Latest things she's bought me include a JDM frameless mirror and a Raceseng Slammer! :)

FRSHunter 01-24-2014 09:07 PM

My girlfriend helped install my foglights, changing out deck, swap exhausts, and install my diffuser. Too bad my girlfriend is my left hand :(

Your wife might kill me for suggesting this to you...

why didn't you wait for the new 2015 wrx with the fa20 version engine?

BadMoon 01-25-2014 12:49 AM

My wife hates the car. Don't care. She said don't buy it. Bought it anyway. Oh well.

BRZNutt 01-25-2014 12:58 AM

So what did you get OP?

My wife has never bought me anything for my car, but that is because she knows how particular I am. That and the fact that I am always buying stuff for the car anyway. She does fully support my only vice. My first wife didn't...

Pete156 01-25-2014 10:38 AM

My wife didn't either...........................so now I have no wife and tons of toys

FloridaBRZ 01-25-2014 05:37 PM

Cusco front and rear tow hook, adjustable front and rear strut tower braces, engine bay powerbrace and pillowball RCAs. Now I just have to find the time to install them.

Whitigir 01-25-2014 05:49 PM

the word "wife" frustrates me ....

This. Well, but more gender neutral. I'd say Significant Others are a problem. Could just as easily happen to ftc~brz as any of the dudes. Odds are better that guys will like cars, but could still happen.

chas3wba0 01-27-2014 06:13 PM

My lady knows that car parts are the way to my heart, but idk if I can trust her to buy the ones I want yet... much to learn, she has
